Format Options Not Available

[machkris]

Hi

I need to know how to get the Format & Select drive option when installing Windows XP SP2 CD created by nLite. I does not let me format the drive where there is already Windows XP installed . How do I do this ?

Someone please help.

Thanks.

The install will ask you what drive you want to install it to.

In there it will give you the option to delete the partition and/or recreate and re-format it.

Instead of pressing "enter" to accept the default install path, i think you press "d" to delete the partition, then recreate it and format it NTFS

Correct, you won't see the option to format unless you have selected an unformatted disk/partion for the install.

REALIZED is right, first delete the disk/partion you want to use by pressing "D" (if necessary), and then create a new partion in the unpartioned space ("C"), once that is done, select your new partion as the install location and you should then be asked to format the drive.

Ok Cool.. Got it

But I wish it was like normal Windows Installation.. just simply format and install.

Also, how can we get the repair option ? I am not able to figure that out . Do I need to put any attribute while making the ISO?

A normal Setup still asks you WHERE to install Windows first.

The repair option comes up after you accept the EULA.
