Is there no ways at all to make 2 partitions under the unattended installation, so that it ends up with a c drive for applications and another drive for data?
Or is it still nessesary to make the partitons in the start of the installation?

I use diskpart called from a batch (I use NU2MENU to call the batch based on user selection)

[contents of batch]

diskpart.exe /s 2parts.txt

{contents of 2parts.txt}
-------------------------------------------
select disk 0

clean

create partition primary size=15360 noerr
assign letter=c noerr

create partition primary noerr
assign letter=d noerr

exit

-------------------------------------------------

format c: /fs:ntfs /v:APPS /q /y
format d: /fs:ntfs /v:DATA /q /y

creates 2 partitions gives C: 15GB and the rest to the D: then a quick NTFS format and names them. Then of course you would want to kick off winnt32

Thanks...
But because of my low english "word memory", I often don't get the right words in the search field.
But I will try again...
