Thank you. The problem seems to be known.

OK, but how to do ?
I don't found any explanation about the syntax of these options
/spec: pri:50,100 ......
I tried the fdisk_cmd without the /spec:7 option. Does'nt work
I tried fdisk_cmd="fdisk /clear 1; fdisk /pri: 12000; fdisk
/activate:1" Does'nt work
the generated command was:
parted -s /dev/dsk --mkpartfs primary fat32 0 12000
parted -s /dev/dsk --set 1 boot on
Always the disk is "unpartioned". It has always the maximum size.

The used parted version is very old 1.6.22. The actual is 1.8.8
But how to compile it ? It's dependend of the libc.so version

It is perhaps sufficient, because the installer creates a fat 32 file
system (4 GO size) on the first partion, and, after
windows format the partion in Ntfs.
