unattended installation of windows 2000 (XP)

Posted: 08-11-2003, 01:06 PM
Hi all!
I'm playing with unattended installations of Windows 2000 server and XP pro
from CD in my test lab, and everything works fine, except I can't achieve
this:
I have one 30 GB hard drive. I want to delete all partitions on it, create
one primary partition of 10 GB, format it as NTFS and install Win 2000 (or
XP) on it. I know I can put Repartition=Yes line in the[Unattended] section
in the answer file, but then I when installs finish I have windows installed
on my whole hard drive.
If I don't include repartition=yes line, then installations stops through
text-mode part and ask me where do I want to install windows.
Is there any way to control how setup program partition and format hard disk
space from unattended instalations? I had read Microsoft documentation
(unattend.doc and ref.chm), but couldn't find such an option in answer
files.

Thanks!
