[help]removing Files With A Winnt.sif

I'm having a problem deleting useless folders such as MSN Gaming Zone, Netmeeting, Frontpage, and Online Services while using my winnt.sif. I would like to know if anyone here knows the commands i need to include to get rid of these folders in my next Unattended format session?

Maybe this will help.

While we are on the point josh, how the hell do you format when doing an unattended install? :blink:

you create a winnt.sif file put it on a floppy. While reinstalling windows you put in the floppy right when it says "Setup ist examining windows hardware." This makes it so I dont have to put in my serial# or my Username. Basically I can just leave and come back in a half hour and I have a brand new fresh start. Comes in hand when you have more than just one or two PC's.

You didn't understand my question....my point is that when I am running an unattended install using a floppy with a winnt.sif file on it, I must have a clean formatted primary partition. The unattended install does not format the hard drive. So if I already have an operating system on the drive and I start an unattended install, it will not format the partition and then do a clean install....it will simply overwrite the OS with the new one which is not what I want.

So my question is, is there a way to force the unattended install to format the primary partition or any partition for that matter?

ohhhhh! Sorry sid. Ok I think I know why you're experiencing this.

[Data]
    AutoPartition=0
    MsDosInitiated="0"
    UnattendedInstall="Yes"

Make sure AutoPartition is set to 0.
