Hi Martin! I1m afraid that there is no option to set in unattended.txt to control parted. All parted stuff (if I remember well) is int the "master" script of the Linux boot disk (ISO or PXE). Regards tovis PS: The using of parted is not so clean for me, there is a some what strange calculation for sizes. The result is generate a bunch of warnings about using legacy SCSI ioctl interface (or some what). Pure possibilities for choose. Some times partition magic complain about partition sizes, but it's easy corrected. Summa-summorum it's work :) I've used to be install windows on a clean disk, and after installing Linux "by hand" - I've been established some what exotic configuration with two XP + Debian, where the boot loader is lilo, and I hide one of the windows partitions, actually not used.
