autopartition with diskpart?

[dragem]

i'm trying to figure out diskpart but i can't find any manual's about how to make partitions automaticly before the installment of WinXP with the unattended CD

i'm using nLite for my burning and creating of the CD

does anyone know a good manual or a way to first boot diskpart with the script and automaticly load the installment of XP after that.

(i'm trying to make a cd where i only have to push a key once and wait till XP is installed)

easiest way is to open a cmd window and type diskpart at the diskpart prompt type a ? it will list all of the possible commands.

Pick the command you want more info on and type it followed by a ? to get more info.

that's not what i mean. i trying to make a bootible cd but how can i make it so that cmd window comes first and the installation later automaticly

diskpart /S scriptfile

will execute the commands in the scriptfile. remember to add the "noerr" switch to the commands where necessary, otherwise diskpart will exit as soon as one command fails.

so you could call the above command from a .cmd or .bat and in the next line start a unattended installation. Is that what you were looking for?

That realy helps a lot but what do i have to change to let the cd start from the cmd or bat file.

there is a startnet.cmd file in the Windows PE image (\Windows\System32\startnet.cmd). Just add your commands to it.
