zbarre Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Hello everybody,I've created an unattended installation for Ms XP Pro, i would like to know what is the syntax for created a partition of 30GB on my hard disk.I've some problems with my installation, my desktop is created in a workgroup .All my parameters are in the WINNT.SIF, i want to: - disable the automatic updates - to not activate Windows - not to create an userSo the installation works well, but the installation need me to disable the automatic updates, to activate or not Windows and create a local user.Here you can see some elements of my SIF file: [unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended UnattendSwitch=No OemPreinstall=Yes OemSkipEula=Yes FileSystem=NTFS WaitForReboot=No NoWaitAfterTextMode=1 NoWaitAfterGUIMode=1 DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore NonDriverSigningPolicy=Ignore Hibernation=No TargetPath=\WINDOWS AutoActivate=No DisableDynamicUpdates=YesYou can i've entered the parameters to disable the automatic updates, and the activation of windows, but it doesn't work . Have you an idea to solve my problem?Thanks a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InTheWayBoy Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 You might want to take some time to read this:unattended.msfn.orgMost of those issues are addressed there. To pre-partition your HD you'll need to look into something like WinPE and diskpart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zbarre Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 Have you any idea for my other problem? Is windows ask me to add a user because i'm in a workgroup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InTheWayBoy Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 No, it's asking you to add a user because you didn't specify an option in you answer file...again, this is in the unattneded.msfn.org site.You have:UnattendSwitch=NoThat means it will run your through the mini-setup, where you create a user etc...you need to change that value to:UnattendSwitch=YesThere are other things that may effect this as well. But that's the major one...you should specifically spend time reading this section:http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/19/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zbarre Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 it worked with the " UnattendSwitch=Yes ".So my installation is perfect, but still have my problem to limit the C:\ partition to 30Gb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
