hi in fact i had so much idea from this site , first when i had a course with microsoft they teach you how to make an unattended installation for windows xp but after a time you will feel that its normal , so i came to this site an i developed myself more and more by adding programs to the cd xtra,,,
BUT,,, i made a cd with the programs that i need and after 15 or 20 cds i can say i have the cd iwant,,,
BUTTTT,,, i want the cd to format the c: partion for me
in another word i want to put the cd in the pc and leave for a 70 mint and come back to take a complete instalation with everything
i thougt that i can make a cmd line to format the computer for me befor the installation but how to make it work befor the installation
so i thougt to make some exe file and name it setup.exe and order it to format the computer and lunch the win xp setup after that cause
any one can help me about this

If you want to use your winnt.sif file then all you do is change your DATA tag to show autopartition=1

Ex.

[Data]
   AutoPartition="1"
   MsDosInitiated="0"
   UnattendedInstall="Yes"

Easy, or if you want to use Windows PE you can use a script for diskpart in your winbom.ini.

I tried the above suggestions but my installation still asks which partition and to format the drive. I also want an installation that will allow me to insert a cd and leave. The autopartition set to 1 didn't work for me. Here is my winnt.sif:

;SetupMgrTag
[Data]
AutoPartition=1
MsDosInitiated="0"
UnattendedInstall="Yes"

[Unattended]
UnattendMode=FullUnattended
OemSkipEula=Yes
OemPreinstall=Yes

first of all thank you for reply my message
-----------------
if i changed the [Data] part of the Winnt.sif file as you say to

[Data]
AutoPartition="1"
MsDosInitiated="0"
UnattendedInstall="Yes"

it will install the windows directly to drive c:

BUT: what i need is:
I just put the Unattended XPCD into my CDROM and then it will do everything,,
i mean I WANT IT TO AUTOMATIC FORMAT THE DRIVE C:,,after that install the windows without any interaption from me
here is my answer file

by the way i had a very good program that any one of you will like to have especialy if you work with computer maint. or hardware
this program is a C/C++ toolkit for accessing hardware without having to write device drivers.
You can write once, and it will run on all of these platforms. No kernel or OS knowledge
is required. WinDriver uses wizards to diagnose your hardware and automatically generate
your driver code. It includes support for PLX, Altera, Cypress, QuickLogic,
National Semiconductor,
STMicroelectronics, Texas Instruments, Xilinx, PLDA, and AMCC chipsets.
WinDriver also provides extended support for Windows Driver Model (WDM), Plug-and-Play, and Power Management.
Version 6.2 supports Linux kernel 2.6 and adds an option to start developing
your driver before your PCI hardware is available.

IN A SIMPLE WAY IT GENERATE ANY DRIVER FOR YOU WITH ALL WINDOWS

HAVE FUN

It dosen't matter weather you're "giving us a very good program to use
if you dont like dont use it ". If its warez, or pirated or anything illegal, its not allowed here, and you should know that.

I Recommend you edit the serial out of you're post.

Chris.

not at all, it's not a program I need...
And moreover, in my firm, we don't use any pirated software : 100% of our software is *legal*, unlike the serial you give.

This post doesn't belong here, and your question is answered in another post. Search for MarthaX's recent posts. Please remove your serial from this post.
