bluesteel,

You may want to look into this instead as it has a command-line interface..

I use GDisk.exe from the Ghost package, works fine too. How many other partition utils are we using here....?

Dear,

We are using also GDISK from Norton Ghost product.
Its command can easy defined in a BATch file.
You can easily define all type of partition and
with more flexibility as f.e. FDISK.

A GUI version can be Partition Magic software from Powerquest.
greetings.

IIRC, Partition Magic is also scriptable.

Gdisk if you use ghost, Partition Magic/Drive Image if you use that one. Other than that sysprep can do very basic partitioning I believe.

the idea is that the MS tools work... But there is usually a better alternative (seldom are they free)

I have only come across 1 exception, and that is KiXtart. (this has changed recently, but is certainly reasonable)

If he ever ports it to Linux, I may convert...

(I wonder what it is about these guys from the Netherlands... Do they have nothing to do during the winter, but write code???)

From my experience with Ranish Partition Manager, it has always been free.

On the - http://www.ranish.com/part/ page..

quote:

There are, also, included command line interface similar to gdisk and a simulation version that works with the
large files instead of messing with the real disks.
