need help with winnt.sif for unattended install
Hi everybody, I'm trying to create an unattended xp installation cd. I've got most of the way there I think, but could do with someone in the know casting their eye over my winnt.sif. Due to a disk faulure a couple of weeks ago I now have only one disk, partitioned into c and d. I need to be sure that the install would only format the c partition. I've pasted the first part of my winnt.sif below. Could someone let me know if it looks ok, and if not tell me what I need to correct. Thanks for any help, John. ;SetupMgrTag [Data] autoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" [Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=No NoWaitAfterTextMode = 0 FileSystem = ConvertNTFS Repartition = no ConfirmHardware = no KeyboardLayout="Uk" TargetPath=\WINDOWS [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=85 OemSkipWelcome=1
Hello, If i'm reading your file right it will stop at the drive partitioning screens since you do not have that part set to automatic, which understanding your situation is what you want. If i've misunderstood your situation let me know.
