I was wondering, if there was a setting I could change on the cd, or a file... something that would enable the quick format (like in XP... gives options of "NTFT" and "NTFS (Quick)")

... i find it annoying, that as a Computer Tech, my unattended windows install disk that I have to wait 15+min waiting for the drive to format on Win2K, but XP I have the option of "Quick".

Please let me know if this is possible or now, and if so, what I have to modify to get this feature.

Thanks in Advance

wow, thats maybe need some setup.exe modifying and you must know about low-level programming at all or you need to know about reverse engineering (if i'm not mistaken)

You can do it from the command line, ie

format /fs:NTFS /q

Thanks for the replys... but I am not trying to run from dos mode to format the drive, so that command will not work in this instance. But, thanks for the heads up for dos mode 2k install

... anyone else wanna take a stab at this perdicament?
