Hi,

I have searched for more than 4 hours to get a perfectly working script to do quick autoformat C drive using NTFS FS and leave the other partitions without any change. Looking for the script which will automate the whole process after pressing enter to the message.."Press any key to boot from cd/dvd". Pls help me.

My current winnt.sif file looks as mentioned below:

Autopartition=0

Have you looked at using a section similar to this?

[DiskConfig]
	Disk1 = Disk1.config 
[Disk1.config]
	SetActive1 = Yes
	Size1 = 3000
	PartitionType1 = primary
	FileSystem1 = ntfs
	QuickFormat1 = Yes

I don't use it myself but it is reported to work!

Thanks for your prompt reply. Instead of mentioning size of the partition, i would like to use the total available space in c drive. If I am not specifying size, will it take the total available space? Also pls advice me in which location i will insert this script. (I am poor in using scripts).

Have you checked ref.chm included in the xp sp2 deploy tools? Another option might be diskpart, which let's you script things like that. I think you might have to use winpe to do that though.
