View Full Version : Modifying the 'Answer File' to bypass partition setup?

Hi all,

I'm running an unattended installation of WinXp Prof using the 'Answer File' (WINNT.SIF) which I've burned onto a CD with WinXPsp1.

My unattended install still STOPS after the setup files are loaded to the hard drive (at the beginning of phase II) and asks me where I want to install WinXP and Makes me also choose the partition and type.

From there it runs through the setup 'unattended'.

How do I get my unattended install to COMPLETELY run through the setup procedure without STOPPING?

I would like to partition as follows: 20 Gig Hard drive:
19 gigs - NTFS - For Windows XP
1 gig - NTFS - for the swap file.

Thanks: I'm assuming I need to create a batch file of some kind and run it somehow from the 'RUN ONCE' box.

not sure if there is any way to get around that.
