AFAIK, you can't do it via the answer file.
FileSystem

Specifies whether to convert the primary partition to NTFS or to leave it alone.

Syntax FileSystem = ConvertNTFS LeaveAlone

Values ConvertNTFS

Converts the primary partition to NTFS.

LeaveAlone Does not change the primary partition file system.

Example FileSystem = ConvertNTFS

Comments This entry is provided for backward compatibility with the Windows 2000 unattended Setup.

For the Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 family of operating systems, if your manufacturing processes require that you format the hard disk as FAT32, use the Oformat tool to create a FAT32 volume with clusters aligned in an optimal way for later conversion to the NTFS file system. Then use the Convert command-line tool to convert the file system to NTFS.

You can't specify the desired partition in winnt.sif

For more info, please search the thread titles for format, partition, etc.
