Hi Carl,
You can tell NT to use the full disk capacity with an unattended
install. The switch that goes into the unattend.txt file is
[Unattended]
FileSystem = ConvertNTFS
ExtendOEMPartition = 1
You will need to be sure to sepcify NTFS as the file system.
For more information, take a look at Microsoft's deployment guide.
