- To format HD to NTFS during Unattended Install of Windows XP Pro?
- Posted by FlashGordon on January 18th, 2006
When doing an "Unattended Install" of Windows XP Pro - I would like it
to delete any previous partition(s) and format using NTFS - prior to
fully installing Windows XP Pro.
What syntax must be used in the WINNT.SIF file to be able to acheive
the above.
For example - in the WINNT.SIF file - the syntax should be....
[Unattended]
Repartition=yes
FileSystem=ConvertNTFS
and so on....
Any help would be appreciated
Regards
FG
