SYMPTOMS
When you install Windows 2000 using Winnt32.exe with the /syspart switch, the computer automatically reboots after the file copy phase is finished.



RESOLUTION
To prevent this behavior from occurring, add the /noreboot switch to your command. For example

winnt32.exe /tempdrive: /syspart /noreboot

where  is the drive being prepared for deployment.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
The /syspart switch is used to create preinstalled hard disk deployments.
