WinPE repartition Linux Disk?

[dau]

hey @ll,

i need some help here im stuck... how can i repartition a harddrive whats now running linux to a NTFS disk??

im trying with WinPE's WINBOM.INI (factory -winpe)

[DiskConfig]
Disk1 = Disk1.Config

[Disk1.Config]
WipeDisk = Yes
Size1 = 25000
PartitionType1 = Primary
FileSystem1 = NTFS
QuickFormat1 = Yes
SetActive1 = Yes 
Size2 = *
PartitionType2 = Extended
FileSystem2 = NTFS
QuickFormat2 = Yes
SetActive2 = Yes

as soon as PE starts i get the error that drive C: cannot be formatet. so how can i solve this prob??

did you try removing the existing partition first then creating a new partition, then reformatting NTFS?

well No the whole process has to run fully unattended the server is booting via PXE to the WinPE without any user action so i need to find a way to get rid of the linux partition in WinPE

Running diskpart /s [script]

with the script

select disk 0

clean

will wipe the drive but the problem might be with the MBR..
