using aefdisk to create the initital fat32 partition

[jeremyschubert]

Hey Folks,

I've almost got my unattended 2000 and XP installs down to a science. The only problem is that you can't extend the partition when you are doing a network install. So I've started to use aefdisk to first create a formatted fat32 partition. Then the computer reboots and is supposed to start installing windows. But I get a message saying that "the bootloader cannot start"

The aefdisk command I'm using is aefdisk /formatfat /pri:0:0c

I'm wondering if I'm supposed to any/all of the following switches in addition?

/a (to set the partition as active)

/mbr

/cvtarea

Thanks,

Jeremy

OK, I think I figured it out. I have to include the /mbr switch so that windows can install properly.
