100% XP Unattended + Repartitioning Tool

[DVAmon]

Good Afternoon all,

A little insight to the situation:

I am currently using NLite to create a totally unattended installation of XP. Here are some of the challenges I am facing.

1.) Large volume (1.2TB RAID5), for the 100% unattended to work I have to set it to AutoPartition=1 and Reformat=YES. Unfortunately, the test for this requires the box to have 3 separate partitiions.

What I am asking is there a way to either prior to XP formatting the volume to autopartition 3 partitions OR is there a way to unattended script a repartitioning of the 1.2 TB drive into a 15GB/10GB/1.06TB setup?

ANY assistance is appreciated. This is a highly time-sensitive project. I have gotten no help from MS, nor have I been able to find anything. I am assuming for the latter I am going to require PartitionMagic or some software. It does not matter what I have to do as long as I can get this to work without any user intervention at all.

Thanks In Advance

Do not hesitate to ask me to elaborate or provide any other information if it will help. I do appreciate it.

use MS tool caled diskpart.exe (supports scripting) for solving your trouble

I decided to go with a 2-disc installer with Knoppix running a bash script to create the partitions and format them with ntfs. Thanks all.
