The XP/W2K setup can only use 4G fat32 for it's primary setup, after
second reboot the partition is extended to the end of the disc or,
in this case, to the begin of the next partition. That's why we must
create first a partition in the size that we want for C:, then the
second partition for D:, then delete the first and create one with
4G size, which during setup is extended to the begin of D:.

Yes, that's right. Fdisk only creates the partition(s), after that
the partitions are formatted according to the content of the
variable "format_cmd".

Andreas, please specify which unattended version (4.6, CVS, ...) you
use, what you've tried (booting with dos-disk or linux, what
settings in unattend.txt ...) and we'll try to help you.

When I tried the same thing (documents and settings on d:) I only
found the mentioned solution from Thomas Lohschmidt which I somewhat
extended for my needs, but it only works with linuxboot:

You can adjust your config.pl to what you need. Please tell us where
you've got into trouble so we perhaps could help. But please be
aware, with some hardware (especially with SATA-discs) there are
some problems that can arise, see other mails in this list.

If somebody else has an other solution for the formating problem,
I'm surely interested, too.

Best regards,
Falko
