Mazin, I hope that your children be plentiful and healthy, so that one day everyone might inherit your genes and bring an end to all suffering brought about by such minute details. It worked. Thank you very much.

I created my unattended install, burned it to cd and put the answer file on a floppy diskette, but it isn't recognized, as I get prompted for everything from regional settings onwards. I am a bit obsessive compulsive I guess, since I could always just fill the prompts (I'm not even using the OEM function for anything) My diskette consists of WINNT.SIF and WINNT.BAT (and no they do not end in .TXT). Also, before I list their contents, I'm going to ask a more important question: What are the possible causes for not using the answer file, and if I can, how might I determine which might be causing my setup's ignoring of the answer file?
