Hi, new guy incoming.

I'm currently attending a senior high-school in Norway. All the students got a DELL Latitude D531. Windows7 runs perfectly fine, even for those who only got 1gb ram. Great OS.

I've played around a little with the Win7 WAIK, but I'm not sure about this:

The DELL Latitude got a OEM partition, I don't want this partition to be wiped during the unattended installation.
What should my answerfile contain to make Win7 wipe and install on the second partition, but leave the first partition alone?

In advance: thank you all for your enligtenment.

Thank you!

So no need to set any "wipe disk" stuff in the answerfile. Guess i can find out that myself. Your help was much appreciated
