Hi Doberman,

I saw the discussion I tested last night with
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Setup\,SystemPartition, X:\
And also by removing HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Setup\,SystemPartition

On an empty disc, installing Windows with setup.exe, seems a little better by removing the key. It does not display "Do you want to format..." like on Win7PE, Win8PE.
I put it like that , on the server.

In any case, the format problems seems solved  :thumbsup:

Hi Chris,

Just a historical note [if required one day - tested now],
 this also works  :wink:

Code: [Select]
RegHiveLoad,Tmp_System,%RegSystem%
RegWrite,HKLM,0x2,Tmp_System\Setup,SystemPartition,#$pSystemDrive#$p
RegHiveUnLoad,Tmp_System

Thanks Lancelot  :thumbsup:
I keep in mind and I will note it in the script.
According to my tests, it looks better by removing! you can contradict me.
Thanks Doberman and thanks of course to Sp-Star for this great finding :thumbsup:

I absolutely don't, your finding results much better:

....It does not display "Do you want to format..." .....

I wrote here only to write history, In case if required one day for a reason  :thumbsup:

 you again did better to write plugin history notes  :thumbup:
