Why not just use the XP CD to create the partition? You don't need anything else. I'm also curious why the 4GB partition? Why not use the whole disk. Users have a hell of a time grasping the notion of a second partition. That may seem hard to believe, but I have worked at companies that had more than one partition on each drive, and 90% of the users had no clue about another drive letter. As for FAT32, forget about it. Use NTFS.
No offense, but these kinds of strategies are out of date. You no longer need to play these games with the OS and setups of PC's. -----Original Message----- From: pavan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 24, 2003 8:26 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions Good morning Everybody, We are planning to deploy windows XP in our domain. For this we are preferring to use the unattended installation method for deploying the Operating system and other software. In the unattended installation process we are planning to create the primary partition as 4 GB. I have used the free fdisk provided by the free dos website, and created the 4 GB primary partition and formatted it. After the initial file copying phase is completed the system just hangs and does not boot from the harddisk. I have the following points to ask: 1. Are there any free disk partitioning utilities which can partition the disk as 4 GB primary partition. 2. Are there any known issues with the FAT32 partition and 4 GB primary partitions with windows XP installation. Any help in this matter will be very helpful Thanks and Regards Pavan. ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
