MDT - Clean and Dirty Installations

  All, 

  I was just wondering if it is possible to have both clean and dirty (Installing OS on a partition without wiping out all others, Dual Boot etc) installations setup using MDT 2010 Update1. 

  Let me tell you what I have accomplished till now. I have managed to do an LTI in such a way that the user has to do a PXE boot and select the OS. After that everything is fully automated i.e. partitioning and formatting the disk; Installing OS+AV+Reqd Software. All this is done based on the model of machine the end user is using and his concerned department. 

  I have changed my customsettings.ini and bootstrap.ini files accordingly.

  The challenge at hand for me now is to incorporate dirty installation as well; as sometimes the user wants a clean format on a build machine without loosing data on another partition and the current options of mine will not ask for anything except OS type.

  However, I have never disabled the refresh scenario in any of the Task sequence so i cannot get it over my head as to why that option is not being shown at the time of PXE boot. I`m pasting the bootstrap.ini file below for you guys to have a look.

  Thanks in anticipation

  Ravi
