FAT32 on a RIS build?

[Guest]

Hi

I have set up and am using RIS on windows server 2003 with a number of WinXP
SP2 and Win2k builds with no problems.

I need to set up an install that formats the HDD in FAT32 instead of NTFS as
there are a few legacy software packages that have trouble with the NTFS
permissions.

I have looked in the .sif file and there is a line saying : FileSystem =
LeaveAlone
I presumed that if the file system was already FAT32 it would be "Left
Alone" but the build still formats in NTFS.

Are there other line in the .sif file I need to modify to get a FAT32
partition, or is there an alternate way?

Thanks

M

If the hard drive is 32GB or greater, NTFS is your only choice.

Sorry I think you missed the point.

I want to know what answers and entries I have to have in the .sif file so I
can get it to use FAT32.

That link is referring to a RIPrep replication.
I am not doing that I am doing a RIS installation, with a ristndrd.sif
answer file and need to know what lines I need to edit/add so that I can do
an install with FAT32 partition and not a NTFS.

Thanks

Great - then what's the rest of this post? hah

I need to set up an install that formats the HDD in FAT32 instead of
NTFS as there are a few legacy software packages that have trouble
with the NTFS permissions.

I have found no apps that have trouble with NTFS..
They might have trouble with file/directory permissions, but those are all
modifiable by a decent admin and a script or two.

I have looked in the .sif file and there is a line saying :
FileSystem = LeaveAlone
I presumed that if the file system was already FAT32 it would be "Left
Alone" but the build still formats in NTFS.

Are there other line in the .sif file I need to modify to get a FAT32
partition, or is there an alternate way?

Quick search with Google lead me to this:

Any help?
