There is solution for this!
You can add many partitions with RIS, but automatically after the
first login!!!
This is my solution, and I made more then 400 PC with this:
1. Make one PC, resize system partition with disk utility like Partition
Magic, and leave free space after.
2. Make RipRep Image
3. Change some commands in "\RemoteInstall\Setup\English\Images\<image name
dir>\i386\Templates\riprep.sif" like [RemoteInstall] UseWholeDisk = No
4. make bat file & use disk utility like Microsoft DiskPart with answer
file, were you can set many tings
Something like this in your bat file :
diskpart /s Script.txt
echo y | format d: /fs:ntfs /v:data /q
shutdown /r /t:0
.and this in unattended file (riprep.sif):
[GuiRunOnce]
"<path to file> \<your bat file>.bat"

I found that the best search for this group is Google, here is the link tto
search just this group:
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&group=microsoft.public.win2000.setup_deployment
(The URL may break, paste it all).
RIS will examine and image the system drive only, the other partition is
ignored. You probably will need another utility like Ghost to image the
entire physical drive (don't forget to sysprep it first).
I know this but it's expected that the new riprep system
(their system partition) has the same size of the
original (both systems are identical HW) but it allocates
all of the disk! No spare disk space!. It seems not to
work properly. I'll continue investigating. Many thanks.
