unattended install - partition hard drive first?

Guest

A quick question about what condition the hard drive needs to be in for an
unattended xp install. I wiped the original partition with fdisk. Then I
created a fat 16 active partition. Then I rebooted and formatted the fat16
partition. When I start the unattended install, I get the message that
Windows cannot find a big enough partition. Can someone please point me to a
site that explains how to rectify this through my answer file by telling
Windows to re/partion a drive and then format it?
The only other thing I thought of that might be causing the error message is
that we install a 5 mb hidden partition for our Altiris client. But wouldn't
that show up in fdisk?

Thanks for any and all help,
Jeremy

I actually found the complete guide in the ref.chm file for the setup
manager. I think I'll be able to figure it out from there.
Thanks,
Jeremy
