orion2 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Well I was think, what if you were to change the setup and input different sizes for the separate partitions?I haven't tried this and don't even know if would work[DiskConfig] Disk1="Disk1.config"[Disk1.config] Size1="*" Size2="*" PartitionType1="primary" PartitionType2="logical" FileSystem1="ntfs" FileSystem2="ntfs" Quickformat1="yes" Quickformat2="yes" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet Posted September 15, 2005 Author Share Posted September 15, 2005 (edited) You guys are right on with the DiskConfig. It can be used if you wanted to divide the drive into multiple partitions.Edit: Sorry I didn't read all of the post until after I made my post but the reason for the NoWaitAfterTextMode or GuiMode is explained in this articleWaitAfterTextModeIt basicly eliminates the 15 second delay when setup has to reboot Edited September 15, 2005 by bullet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet Posted September 15, 2005 Author Share Posted September 15, 2005 Additionally, I didn't come up with the DiskConfig thing I'm not trying to take credit for it if you look at this thread you will find out some more information about it.

bonedaddy Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Setup ignores all entries in this section unless you run factory -winpethis is stated right in the chm. I tried many ways to get it to work, no luck,perhaps someone else will do better.............BD B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonedaddy Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Does that mean it works in winnt.sif???BD B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilvoice Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 (edited) yes, it doesPS: The parser of the Winnt.sif file is the same that's used for Winbom.ini and most other answer files used in setup....theoretically, unless Microsoft disabled it in one file and not the other, most things should work across the files the problem is....microsoft has a hard time documenting it's features at times... - from Alanoll Edited September 16, 2005 by evilvoice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
