Thank you for reading my post. If you respond thank you for responding. Warning dumb questions ahead !! I'm sorry 1. Can a unattened install be done with a XP Volume Lic CD ? 2. When does the floppy go into the floppy drive? After choosing to boot to cd ? After the first restart after formating the drive and copying files? Leave it in the drive only pop out the floppy when the machine needs to restart and boot/reboot? 3. This is what I am using and is currently failing ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=1 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" [unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=No TargetPath=\WINDOWS [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=XXXXXXXXXXX EncryptedAdminPassword=Yes OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=35 OemSkipWelcome=1 [userData] ProductKey=XXXXX-ZZZZZ-XXXXX-ZZZZZ-XXXXX FullName="General User" OrgName="XXX" ComputerName=XX-XXXXX [TapiLocation] CountryCode=1 Dialing=Tone AreaCode=XXX LongDistanceAccess="9" [identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes
