unattend + autopartition

[Guest]

Hi, my problem is this...
I have to install several times xp prof. in differents Hws...(specially Hard
disk).
But in every machine the HD must have 2 partitions. (HD size/2).
So im trying to create a basic unattend except for the autopartition.
So in my unattend autopartition=1 and im gues that windows will ask me for
the size of the partition. But it doesnt...
How its works? How can i set up for any machine the size of the partition
that i want to create...
Thanks...

Create the partition manually before doing th eunattended install.
Setting the answer file to *not* automatically partition will then leave any
existing partition setup unaltered.
It's not too hard to have the partitioning done (before the XP unattended
setup) automatically as well.
A simple bootdisk with a batchfile calling for FDISK with appropriate
parameters in an input file should do the trick.
