This effect is only if you use the hole hard disk in one partition, I have try to find out why. But a simple solution was faster then my search. So we create the FAT/NTFS partition 100MB smaller than the full size. The ExtendOEMPartition=yes in the answer file will extend the partition to the maximum during the installation. With the file: https://unattended-gui.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/unattended-gui/z/etc/init/profiles/unattended-gui/01install which was the base for the nt5 install script you can: - install win NT/XP/W2K/W2K3/Vista/Windows 7 - install NT/XP/W2K/W2K3 on a fat or ntfs partition without the 4GB limitation - install via multicast - install compressed installation files - ....

You can also strip of the main parts of the Makefile from our project to bring up your Makefile to the newest versions. I have used the Makefile from unattended to build the boot stuff for unattended-gui. So its nearly the same. (without the perl stuff) https://unattended-gui.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/unattended-gui/bootcd/Makefile See also: http://unattended-gui.sourceforge.net/www/index.php?loadsub=quwiki&func=wiki&type=index&show=4 Maybe we can also do some "cooperation" ;) with the boot environment... For all those people who have problems to build the boot stuff. There is a quite simple solution to build it on windows (cygwin) and nearly all linux distributions: http://unattended-gui.sourceforge.net/www/index.php?loadsub=quwiki&func=wiki&type=index&show=4#4. See here 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 If you have questions feel free to ask. greetings mario > mvh > Nils Olav > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
