I have beeen wondering how the unattended installation chooses the drive / partition to install to?
The only option we have is Autopartition = 1 or 0

I have the following on my PC
HDD 1
Partitions C, E and F

HDD 2
Partitions D and E

My questions

Situation 1
If all are formatted clean where willXP be installed

Situation 2
If G contains W2K where will Xp be instralled assuming i am installing XP after W2K

Now my laptop
One HDD C and D drives
D would conatin my files moved here for safety where will XP autoinstall?

And no i don't undertant a S**t about MBRs and how and why they are overwritten

I'd appreciate any help on this issue

Someone correct me if i'm wrong but if u put autopartition=0 it will choose the first posible partition to install to, in your case it will be the C: And if u choose 1 you will get the question where to put it when windows is installing. So that would mean it is not unattended anymore but I think it is better.
