Hello All,
I have a RIS server running on our network and we use for our desktop PCs - Compaqs that are virtually identical, apart from one batch has a 20GB hard disk and the other batch has a 40GB hard disk. Now we have a particular build that is currently based on a 40GB variation of the Compaqs. I had to create this build because I was getting alot of build failures due to the fact the HD size didn't match the one of the image. My question is; can I edit the ripref.sif file so that I nominate just 20Gb of the disk for the build? Then, if I'm building a 40GB Compaq, after the machine builds, I can partition the rest of the disk, and if I'm building a 20GB Compaq, I won't need to change anything.
Any ideas?
 
you should be able to use

[RemoteInstall]
Repartition = Yes
UseWholeDisk = Yes

and it shouldn't matter what size disk you are using. It will just format the entire drive as one partition.
