It's a good idea to keep unattended things on list, even though I was the one who took it off-list. Sorry about that (: The way I initially created my server-side unattended.txt was to answer those questions manually for an installation, then look in C:\netinst\unattend.txt after the installation was complete. I used entries from there to populate ./unattended/install/site/unattend.txt eg I've pasted below the partitioning options from my file: [_meta] fdisk_cmds = "fdisk /clear 1;fdisk /pri:100,100;fdisk /delete /pri:1;fdisk /pri:10,100;fdisk /activate:1" replace_mbr = 1 format_cmd = "format /y /z:seriously /q /u /a /v: c:" I still get prompted for "do you wish to format Y/N" but in looking at my current file, I've just seen the line "fdisk_confirm" so I wonder if I should play with that. I think the two boot options have something to do with the unattended process, and are directly related to the content of C:\boot.ini. I see the menu come up for (I think) three seconds early in the process of unattended installation. I don't get the two options after the unattended process is finished, so maybe something isn't complete for you? Someone else might be able to explain better.
