I don't found any explanation about the syntax of these options /spec: pri:50,100 ...... I tried the fdisk_cmd without the /spec:7 option. Does'nt work I tried fdisk_cmd="fdisk /clear 1; fdisk /pri: 12000; fdisk /activate:1" Does'nt work the generated command was: parted -s /dev/dsk --mkpartfs primary fat32 0 12000 parted -s /dev/dsk --set 1 boot on Always the disk is "unpartioned". It has always the maximum size. > 2. use newer version of parted (NTLDR not found problems? ) The used parted version is very old 1.6.22. The actual is 1.8.8 But how to compile it ?
