Hello,
I am trying to use unattended with a database backend and so far so good.
I need a little help with some examples if anyone out there might be
able to help me out I appreciate it.
My first problem is with adding fdisk commands to the database so
unattended will just make 1 partition with 100% of the space on the
hard drive.
I am using “fdisk /pri:100,100” but it seems that when I go to run
unattended it works but then when windows setup runs through dosemu it
errors out with not being able to find swap space.
My other problem is when Y/N prompts when going to format, partition,
and replace the MBR, I would like to remove them. I started to tinker
with install.pl but I can’t seem to figure out how to take those out.
Specifically I can’t figure out what I need the functions to return
for things to work properly. Below is what I tried.
“Format c:”
return(‘format /y /z:seriously /q /u /a /v: c:’);
This seems to work.
“Replace MBR”
return ‘Y’;
This seems to work too.
I can’t seem to get the “partition the disk” function to work (maybe
because I don’t know perl and it is a little more complicated function).
- in fact I suspect the root of my “no swap space” error is caused by
something I borked while trying to customize this function
I use the phrase “seems to work” loosely because when I revert my
changes everything seems to work, except I can’t pull the fdisk
commands from the database, and I still have the Y/N prompts.
Any help?
This is what I use format the whole drive with just one partition:
[_meta]
fdisk_lba=1
fdisk_cmds="fdisk /clear 1;fdisk /pri:4000;fdisk /activate:1"
fdisk_confirm=0
format_cmd="format /y /z:seriously /q /u /a /v: c:"
replace_mbr=1
