Create partition with vbscript

Not in a script language. You need to use a partioning software application
such as Fdisk or PartitionMagic.

Create partition with vbscript

You could use a util called AEFDISK.EXE, it can be found on MS ftp server.
It will allow you to create fat32 partitions on your drive and then you can
install 2000.

Create partition with vbscript

It requires you to be in DOS. It won't work from within Win2000

Create partition with vbscript

As I have mentioned you first create partitions and then install 2000

Create partition with vbscript

Yes, but the user wanted to do it from within Win2K with a vbscript process.

Create partition with vbscript

Te only way you will be able partition your drive automatically is to do it
before W2K install, there is no support in scripting to that, unless someone
can write some program to that.

Create partition with vbscript

Hi,

Although not very convenient, you could do this with a Sendkeys script:
you must be logged on as administrator, launch windsk
then make partition, create, etc...
since all commands support sendkeys, it should work

check with app.activate that if it does ask you to have the signature applied at
first use of windisk.

hope it helps
