Is there a way to auto Repartition

[Bodman]

Hi,

I have successfully created a USB XP Install disk (using the bat file) but I would like to make it automatically remove all partitions from the HDD and repartition to 1 full size partition.

On a normal Unattended XP I would add the line into Winnt.sif

[unattended]

Repartition=Yes

So I added this to winat.sif

but as the Multiboot USB Key ignores the [unattended] section this will not work

Any help greatly appreciated

I doubt it's possible using this way of installation.

Unattended section is removed because even with an empty section Text mode setup will attempt to install windows where ~BT and ~LS folders are.

Adding Repartition=Yes most likely will make Setup to attempt to repartition the USB disk, NOT the internal hard disk, and will fail of course because the Setup files are there and USB disk is write- protected.

If that's so important to you to automatically repartition the disk, you may play with this way of installing:

However, it has limitations and you will not have an "universal" USB disk, understanding of the Setup process is also required. Just an idea, not tested which disk will become target with Repartition=Yes.
