  • 1.  script to format C drive

    Posted May 22, 2009 10:13 AM
    I just got a bunch of computers that came with Free dos the only way I am able to image them is to format the C drive first with this command FORMAT C: /S /V but it will ask if your sure. I don't care to do that for every single one of them. I tried the setting to delete OEM partation but that didn't work either. The only boot image that will work is dos for now so any command I do use would have to work under dos. Any suggestions ?

    You can deploy the fat32.img to all the systems. You can also use a -nooem switch to remove the partition
    then run the convert to ntfs script afterwards.

    Also a scripted OS install job will convert the filesystem to NTFS if you are thinking of doing that also.
