Hi

Newbie here :hello:

Just a quick question. I've been looking at nLite with a view to creating an unattended install CD for XP. The application works great and I highly recommend it :thumbup

One question though. I was hoping to skip the disk format section at the beginning of the installation. Is there a way to do this? I was under the impression that adding (or amending) the following sections in the WINNT.SIF file would do the trick, but I'm not having any luck -

[Data]
Autopartition=1
UnattendedInstall="Yes"

[Unattended]
Filesystem=NTFS
Repartition=Yes


Basically, I create the ISO image and then use MagicISO to amend the file before burning the image to CD. Am I doing something wrong here? Any advice greatly appreciated!!

Attached File(s)

  • Attached File  WINNT.SIF (1.16K)
    Number of downloads: 47

this will delete all partation of hard drive and then create only one partation then it format it with ntfs...
If you skip file system NTFS to * then i hope no error will occer.

And take in mind don't provide Key when upload file on net
