I created an unattended installation for Windows Server 2003 (Standard Edition) using the instructions on this website for unattended installations. However, I assumed that no user input would be necessary whether the OS was installed as a host or guest (virtual machine) OS. However, when I install the OS on a virtual machine, I am prompted for two inputs, 1. which partition I want to install the OS on and 2. what file system do I want to use to format this partition. Can these options be included in the winnt.sif answer file so that no user input is required to install a fully automated installation of this OS on a virtual machine?

PS: Please find attached my answer file and screen shots of the prompts that I need to respond to.

hello,

I think you have to add "repartition=YES" to the [Unattended] section

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

[Unattended]
UnattendMode=FullUnattended
OemSkipEula=Yes
OemPreinstall=No
UnattendedSwitch="Yes"
TargetPath=\WINDOWS
repartition=YES

good luck,
Danny
