Having these entries in your winnt.sif file should format the the C: drive automatically.

[Data]

AutoPartition=1

UnattendedInstall="Yes"

[unattended]

Repartition=Yes

Filesystem=NTFS

Please note that if your HDD contains multiple partitions, the above entries in WINNT.SIF would also delete all partitions and make your first HDD into one single partition...
