Phoenix_Remind Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Finished creating Unattended CD - is there a way to bypass the windows setup screen, after all it isn't really fully unattended when a user has to delete/create the partition and set to NTFS. Is there something in the .SIF file I am missing that will automate this section of installation. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix_Remind Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 I didn't mean the Windows SP2 setup screen. I am talking about the screen immediately after you hit a key to boot from the CD. That blue Windows Setup screen, where you create/delete the partition, etc. I didn't see anything on the page you linked referencing that. Let me know if I am blind. Thanks for quick reply.

shooter468 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 i dont think you can really make the partitioning thing unattended... but i may be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelico_Payne Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 don't think that's possible, but i do agree that its unneededSif files are like women - enigma wrapped in a riddle under a veil of mistery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanVM Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 You can absolutely have it partition things automatically. As you were already linked to, you can set AutoPartition to 1 in winnt.sif. Combine that with the Repartition setting and FileSystem setting, and you can automate the entire process. You can also use the OemSkipEula setting to skip pressing f8 to accept the license agreement.Seriously, what of that doesn't accomplish what you're looking to accomplish?

However, the information below could still be potentially useful to you. ****I believe you are looking for the following:[unattended] (Unattend.txt)Answer File = Unattend.txtThe [unattended] section for Unattend.txt contains entries for running Setup. For the Sysprep.inf version, see [unattended] (Sysprep.inf).RepartitionSpecifies whether to delete all partitions on the first drive of the client computer and to reformat the drive with the NTFS file system.Syntax Repartition = Yes | No Values Yes Deletes all partitions on the first drive and reformats the drive with NTFS.No Does not delete partitions or reformat the drive.Example: Repartition = Yes Edited April 5, 2006 by JuMz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
