Batchfile automate Fdisk and reboot

Can someone please send me a set of batch commands or script to use for automating fdisk and reboot. For example, this would be a part of a DOS network client bootdisk or build disk for ghost imaging, and on some laptops that come directly from manufactures, i have to delete the existing partition in order to create a virtual/ram drive to copy the net files over to the hardisk. It would have to be done in such a way where it would delete the existing partition, create a new one, format the drive to a small size maybe 100megs or something for virtual/ramdisk and then reboot the pc/laptop and it shouldn't repeat the process, but instead create the virtual/ramdisk on C:\ (HDD) and copy the net client files over from the boot floppydisk. Also is there a useful dos menu util which i could use for giving me the option to enter a new machine/netbios name for multiple client network connections, as the name conflicts when having multiple connections with the same name on the network.
