Using an Extended Partition for Text Mode Files

If you are installing Windows NT Workstation on a disk larger than 2 GB, you can cause Setup to extend the partition on which the temporary files are located into any available unpartitioned space that physically follows it on the disk. These temporary files must be installed on a primary partition. The space used must be limited to 1024 cylinders. Writing beyond cylinder 1024 will cause the installation to fail.

To control whether Setup extends the partition on which the temporary files are located, add the following line to the [Unattended] section:


ExtendOemPartition = 0 | 1

Where:

0

specifies that the partition not be extended.

1

specifies that the partition is to be extended. When the value is 1, you must set FileSystem = ConvertNTFS.
