Convert.exe - NTFS - Automated

Good morning,

I am scripting the install of W2K3 using the unattend.txt. During the installation it automatically converts the C:\ partition to NTFS but not the D:\ partition. ...so my thinking was just script the command "convert.exe d:\ /fs:ntfs" to run during my post install script which Microsoft states runs more eficiently anyway.

Well, it doesn't work because the convert utility then prompts for the current volume name. Thankfully it will always be the same so I could script it in...but I'm not finding a way to either:
a) pipe the volume name into convert.exe
b) a command line switch that will work

Thank you in advance for you input into this issue!

Eric
 
SORRY!

I just realized I posted this in the incorrect forum. I will repost in the Windows 200X forums
