Help with RIS answer file and auto format of HDD

[Kyle]

I have had a few laptops come inthat i want to set up a RIS image for. The laptop HDD's are formatted into 3 partitions. Is it possible in my RIS answer file to tell it to delete all the partitons on the drrve and set up one C:?

 

This is the top part of my sif file but no matter what i try with it it still does not delete the partitons and complains it cannot fit windows onthe c: drive.

Hi the easiest why i found to get my ris answer file working was to use the stepmgr.exe in deploy.cab file

 

Have a look at this Customizing Unattended Setup

this will create the option you want for you ris answer file.
