Hi All,
I am trying to modify the .sif file to only use 4 gigs of an unpartitioned hard drive during an fully automated windows 2000/2003 install and leave the rest as is, needless to say I have had no luck with this!
Does anyone know if this is even possible!

[Unattended]
ExtendPartition=3000 did not work!

Thanks for any help! :)

I believe the option should be ExtendOemPartition, but the hard disk needs to have an existing partition in order to use it. This option will take the original partition and extend it to the amount you specify. This obviously isn't what you want to do though, and from what I can find out there is no way for winnt.sif to create partitions of a certain size.

I'm just guessing here but it may be possible to use the diskpart utility with a batch file to partition the drive before setup begins.

Hi,

I am looking for diskpart und I can't find it at bart's HP.

Under:
Several small tools Disktool, Ettool, Ram, PCIscan, FindCD, Sel

there is no diskpart.

Where can I get diskpart?
