The winnt.sif file should be a plain text file, just open it with notepad and look around for the settings you want.

Try this under the [Data} header look for
autopartition = 1
and set it to
autopartition = 0
or add it if it is not there.

Well I'll keep an eye out for anything that sounds like what your looking for. I don't if you tried this one or not but it still doesn't seem to really answer your question.
