The part highlighted is where you went wrong it need to be changed to yes and then you will be able to repartition annd format

This also needs to be changed....

AutoUpdate=pff

I think you "fat fingered" that one.

where is the auto update line? or where do i need to put it?

repartition=yes + autopartition=0 lets me chose which partition to delete, right? (it wont delete all of them i hope)

I'm not familar with the repatition option, but if you set the autopatition to "yes", then Windows Setup will install Windows to the first available partition that has adequate space for a Windows installation and does not already contain an installed version of Windows."

I believe if you turn on the repatition, you will need to write to automatic it or Windows Setup automatically delete all the partitions in hard drive and repatition as one single patition. I might be wrong on this.
