hm, just reading the line it should work. Only missing is fat32 formatting ..

What if you take out fdisk_cmds="xxxxx" of unattend.txt and run parted in interactive mode: Delete the fist partition and create a formatted 4GB fat32 partition with the boot flag set. winnt.exe (under dosemu) is doing some black magic when choosing witch partition to use, it might pick the wrong one.. But, it should pick the partition with the boot flag set. ..or it is a bug in unattended. the fdisk <> parted translation is quite confusing, we should probably allow a custom script to be run/specified from fdisk_cmds in cases like this.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
