Hi Falko,
> [...]
you're right. Since I like totally unattended setups I didn't give it much thought. I will see, if I find a way to call the code in install.pl.I think, there should be something to warn about erasing the full drive, 'cause the function with the question according to "fdisk_confirm" isn't called here ... =8-<
You can edit site\unattend.txt for each case and have the partition_cmds set accordingly.It would be better, too, if we could distinguish between the system partition and the data partition(s), e. g. Only C: -> partition_cmds_system Whole Disk: -> partition_cmds
In case of installation we can decide to partition the whole drive or just renew the system partition without data partition(s).
Your code looks ok to me, I will give it a try on my next install, probably tomorrow.So, I've got a slightly different solution here. I'm no perl programmer, but it seems to work here (I've reduced the setup to two partitions, but this surely can be changed):

You're right, but I only use the linuxboot, so it isn't relevant for me, either.I think, there should be a test, if we are under linux, with the "$is_linux" function, too. But this isn't relevant for me.
What script have you got for converting the D:,E: ... partitions to ntfs?I plan to use the "convert"-utility which is shipped with windows.
It's is very simple:
CONVERT D: /fs:ntfs
should convert drive d: to ntfs without data loss. But so far I have only read about it, I haven't tried it myself yet.
No, I leave them where they are, I install all other programs to drive D: using appropriate switches or variables in their setups, e. g. TARGETDIR=D:\ for ActivePerl oder /dir=D:\Tools\<programname> for Inno Setup etc. It works most of the time, if there is a program which doesn't recognize the directory switch I use autoit.As you use a separate partition for programsdir: do you change the default programs dir via registry?
Thanks for your comment. Best Regards Thomas
