1 WinXP wont format my C drive so I got Windows dual install on my C drive this doesnt work.

2 I setup drivers Install like in unattended for WINNIT.sif and it doesnt install my drivers, the script keeps running through the gui install but breaks after that and I have to the do manual seal.

So how do get to format my c drive and install my drivers.
I found driver grabber but didnt use it for this install will try using it on this try.

- There's an option in WINNT.SIF that lets you choose a partition where you install Windows. If the partition you choose has a system, it lets you format it.

Just a quick one have not tried this yet. If I had a single drive two partitions with windows already installed on one how do I set default for windows to install on the same partition automatically. Thought I'd ask?

Using WINNT.SIF for this (your) purpose can't get it to work automatically
unless the partition is pre-formatted.

If a partition is pre-formatted and has no system on it, WINNT.SIF
can be configured to do it automatically.

But, in your situation, where a system has been already installed; I'd suggest
that you add the following entries to your WINNT.SIF.

With these entries in my WINNT.SIF, I strike my keyboard 5 times, if I want to
install Windows on drive C.

1- ENTER --------> I agree to install Windows on drive C, where drive C is highlighted by default.
2- C ------------> I agree to format the drive I've chosen. This "C" is NOT for drive C.
3- Down Arrow ---> I choose to format drive C as FAT (actually FAT32).
4- ENTER --------> I confirm the format choice.
5- ENTER --------> Go execute my commands!

The formatting process takes a minute or more according to the size of drive C.
Windows Setup continues automatically afterwards.

I, even, strike the keyboard from memory as I already memorize the 5 strokes.
