Perhaps Unattended can wipe the partition table, at least if you tell
it to "Use Whole Disk" ?


It already does, or tries to.  By default, our first partitioning
command is "fdisk /clear 1" which translates into the Parted command
"parted mklabel msdos".

Have you made any changes to Z:\dosbin\install.pl, Z:\site\config.pl,
or Z:\site\unattend.txt related to partitioning?

Unless the mklabel command also preserves some state, which I suppose
is possible.  Wow, that would be broken...

I *have* fiddled with the site\config.pl for partitioning, but I just double-checked what happens when you select "Whole Disk C", and it still does the $pre_cmds;$ret;$post_cmds. $pre_cmds is just 'fdisk /clear 1'.


I will double check whether manually invoking "parted mklabel msdos" after an FC2 install fixes the broken stuff.
