unattend from network

[Guest]

Hi, im trying to do an unattend instalation from network, my problem is i
cant make a dos partition larger than 2GB...
First run the fdisk /pri:4000 this will give 4gb for my primary partition.
Then i make a format c: but its format up to 2gb!! Why is this??
Where can i find a format to do this?
I made a boot disk from bootdisk.com (6.22) but when it cames de format time
always happend de the same thing!.
somebody can help with these??
Thanks a lot... From Argentina...!

DOS does not support larger partitions. There are two options I can think
of:

1. Use Windows PE instead of DOS. With a Windows PE boot disk, you could
use the 32-bit DISKPART and FORMAT tools to create a partition as large as
you need.

2. Allow Windows to expand the 2GB partition to the full size of the disk
by including the "ExtendOemPartition" option in the Unattend.txt/WINNT.SIF
file.
