Greetings!

Love your stuff so far. Am deploying Dell Optiplex GX260s for WinXP.

Most Dells have a hidden partition that is actually partition 1 of the disk, which I'd like to try to preserve so our warranty still works.

I've worked out what I think are the commands to do so manually:

fdisk /delete /pri:2
fdisk /prio:2000
fdisk /activate:2 (even tho' it fdisk /info /tech alreadys show activated)
fdisk /reboot


After the reboot, I find that I must again activate the partition before I can format. What am I neglecting here?

I think I can manage updating the perl to add this as an option, tho' I am a perl rookie.

Finally, as a future-feature request, what the techs say they want is something really fast with all the defaults built in - more or less a network based boot scenario where one-size fits (almost) all. They'd like a boot floppy or CD they can insert and walk away from till it's time to remove it and reboot, then a quick script on first boot to name the rascal properly and join the domain.
