RE: Partition question regarding OS deployment with SCCM

Hi
it seems you don't have to format the c: drive, just activate it.
see below:

Hi all,

I'm trying to deploy an OS with SCCM 2007. I successfully created an
image, package and task sequence.

With the task sequence I have a problem with the topic Partition Disk.
I want to partition and format the C:\ drive.
- In the task I select disk 0 with type standard(MBR)
- For the volume I specify a primary partition with fixed size of 3 GB
- I select that it must be the boot partition
- I select a quick NTFS format

When this is executed SCCM runs the task and wants to create an E:
drive, and this is because of the following:
Configuration Manager 2007 will automatically assign the next
available drive letter to this partition. (from MS guide and also
noted in the task)

I can solve this with a diskpart script but I think/hope this can be
solved with a task in the sequence.

Hope you can help.

Regards,
JJ.
