Are you trying to put the info in the database? What everyone's suggesting is to put the lines into \site\unattended.txt.

I don't seem to see what I am doing wrong, I dropped in what you suggested for the partition value associated with the mac address of my test computer and when I boot up from my bootcd I still get the prompts for partitioning, formatting, and replacing the MBR.

The prompts I am getting are from the install.pl script, the function
yes_no_choice() is called in the subroutines that do the partitioning, mbr, and formatting. My goal is to remove these prompts and have the commands come from the database. (I am only getting the y/n prompts, my partitioning choice is coming from the database)

My original fdisk command worked properly, I just had to answer y/n whenever it was generated by install.pl, I was not having to make any of the selections for "c drive 100%, c drive 50% and d drive 50%,etc.

Thanks

Our _meta section of unattend.txt file looks (more or less ) like this:

[_meta]
     top=base.bat
     middle="mozilla.bat;tightvnc.bat,cygwin.bat"
     local_admins=""
     fdisk_lba = 1
     replace_mbr = 1
     fdisk_cmds="fdisk /clear 1; fdisk /pri:100,100; fdisk /delete /
pri:1; fdisk
/pri:3900; fdisk /activate:1"
     format_cmd="format /y /z:seriously /q /u /a /v: c:"

And seems to do most of the things you need.

Regards,
Mike
