but it doesn't.

when u buy a blank hdd, there is no partition on the thing. (eg, not
formatted).

we use ghost at work to copy the stuff over onto the blank hdd's.

it must auto create a fat32 partiton and format or something, coz thats how
it works :)

only takes about 6-7minutes to copy the image from the cd onto the hdd -
bang, windows installed (preinstalled)
