bq286 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Hey all,I work for a non-profit that refurbishes old computers, and as such there are sometimes extra partitions and such on computers. I want the WINNT.sif to make one partition on the drive, then format it NTFS and install Win2k automatically. The current WINNT.sif I have doesn't seem to actually format the drive, it skips through the EULA and such properly, then says 'Formatting' but never moves from 0%, and then starts copying files. So the below sort of works, but I don't think it deletes partitions/formats right:[Data]Autopartition = 1MsDosInitiated = 0UnattendedInstall = YesUseWholeDisk = Yes[unattended]DriverSigningPolicy = IgnoreExtendOemPartition = 1FileSystem=ConvertNTFSOemPreinstall = YesRepartition = YesTargetPath=\WINDOWSUnattendMode = FullUnattendedUnattendSwitch = YesOemSkipEula = YesWaitForReboot = NoNoWaitAfterTextMode = 1NoWaitAfterGUIMode = 1NonDriverSigningPolicy = Ignore(and yes there is more below, but that all works right)Thanks in advance...

maxXPsoft Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 (edited) I done this once awhile back, you have too many invalid entries.UseWholeDisk - Valid only for RIPrep (Remote Installer Preparation) imagesFileSystem=ConvertNTFS - Don't think you need that with the Repartition = Yes >> Deletes all partitions on the first drive and reformats the drive with NTFS.So to sum it up I think you only need these 2 entries and not the others I mentionedAutopartition = 1Repartition = Yesof course with your others Edited February 1, 2006 by maxXPsoft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Express Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 This is part of my winnt.sif and it works fine, it reformats the drive and only adds one partition.Good Luck.;SetupMgrTag[Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" AutomaticUpdates=No[unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\000_chipset_dc5000_d530_evo;\Drivers\010_broadcom_nic;\Drivers\011_intel_pro100;\Drivers\012_intel_pro1000;\Drivers\020_intel_graphics;Drivers\021_nvidia_graphics;\Drivers\022_ati_graphics;\Drivers\023_color_grapics;\Drivers\030_ADI_audio;Drivers\031_SoundMax" DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore UnattendSwitch = Yes Repartition = Yes FileSystem = convertNTFS ExtendOemPartition = 1, NoWait[GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=BLAHBLAHBLAH EncryptedAdminPassword=Yes AutoLogon=Yes AutoLogonCount=2 OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=35 OemSkipWelcome=1[Display] BitsPerPel=32 Xresolution=1024 Yresolution=768 Vrefresh=75 AutoConfirm=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
