How do I make multiple partition with a unattended install

[mike1210]

format D: /FS:NTFS /V:LABEL /Q /Y

that will format a second partition without prompting

i call it from a normal batch file

you would have to set the paritioning to manual though on the xp setup, rest would be unattended

so autopartition=0

the winnt.sif can be placed in the I386 folder of the cd no real need for a floppy when you have the answer file as you want it, entry in answer file would be

[GUIRunOnce]

%systemdrive%\batch_file.cmd

where the batch file would have to be called batch_file.cmd and placed in the \$OEM$\$1 folder on the cd. The batch file would contain the first line of this post and on the answer file OEM preinstall would have to be set to yes, take a look at these two links

I think I have most it down now.

I am using Bart PE to boot up and then I run a batch file that runs the Diskpart with script and then formats the partitions as well then at the bottom of the batch file I have winnt32.exe and it is saying that there are no valid partitions found.. Any ideas as to why that happens?

have you set that partition to be active.

Also,

Can you show me the folder structure you used as i'm struggling with BartPE layout.
