Is there any way to force a FULL format during a Windows
2000 unattended installation? Here is an excerpt of my
winnt.sif file:

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

[Unattended]
UnattendMode=FullUnattended
OemPnPDriversPath="\Drivers\Dell_Modem"
OemSkipEula=Yes
OemPreinstall=Yes
Repartition=Yes
FileSystem=ConvertNTFS

Any Help would be appreciated...

If you modify the templates\ristndrd.sif file and change Repartition and
UseWholeDisk values to No as shown below, you will be prompted to set the
disk partition and size manually.


[RemoteInstall]
Repartition = No
UseWholeDisk = No
