Hi, Until today i got success installing WinXP unattended from a CD when winnt.sif file was in floppy disket a:, NO .bat file used. To do that, 1) i've deleted i386/unattend.txt and setupacc.txt 2) select BIOS Priority boot as: CD boot first then the Hard Disk as second boot and the floppy disket as third boot. The problem is that with the newest laptop there is no disket and no possiblity to add it. I tested today an unattended install with tha winnt.sif file in a USB Flash memory then in an SD memory... without success. Does anyone have an idea how to??? Regards coucou

Hi, I've a JetFlash 128MB Usb Falsh Memory. Since this morning I can't access to it although its led is ON and Windows Exlorer detect it as "Removable Disk (H:)". When i click on it, i get "Please insert a disk into drive H:" message. Is there any how to make it working or at least to recover the data in it??? Regards coucou

TX all, @blinkdt: Usually, i write scripts with AutoIt and solve that problem with sleep(xxxx). The problem is, AutoIt Window Info report for each CopyToDVD "active window screen" except the las one. NO "Window Title", "Status Bar Text", "Visible Window Text". Then, i opted to install CopyToDVD silently with the switches above, call sleep.exe 30 and then call Taskkil.exe to get ride of the last screen. Does my syntax above is correct??? Regards coucou

Hello, I am trying to install CopyToDVD 3.0.56. The silent command " /VERYSILENT /SP- /NORESTART" works, but WPI moves onto the next command (taskkill) before it is done, which is a problem. So, I need to add a sleep time with the CopyToDVD setup.exe command. I have the sleep.exe file in a directory on my DVD and can call the command, but I'm not sure for the correct syntax (here bellow) to make it wait for say 30 seconds. prog[pn]=[CopyToDVD 3.0.56'] cmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Software\\VSO\\copytodvd3_setup.exe /VERYSILENT /SP- /NORESTART'] cmd2[pn]=[''%cdrom%\\Software\\VSO\\sleep.exe 30'] cmd3[pn]=['taskkill /F /IM vsostart.exe'] rega[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Software\\VSO\\VSO.reg'] dflt[pn]=['yes'] cat[pn]=['CD/DVD Burners'] ordr[pn]=[400] pn++ Does anyone could check and confirm??? Regards coucou

Hi, I nearly finished my UA (WinXP+over 100 Appz) DVD and there's 2 problems remains. 1 error and 1 cosmetic. 1) No disk error: after the WinXP install and restart, i got an error message: "'Windows No Disk' 'There is no disk in the drive.

Anyone have any idea how to solve this problem??? 2) Cosmetic: how to make the RunOnceEx dialog wider that i might try is making a longer text string (see enclosed image)??? Regards coucou

TNX DarkShadows, I didn't red yet yr thread, but i'm going to. I rebuild my UA (WinXP+Appz) DVD.

WPI started from the DVD. Have you any idea what it could be??? Regards coucou

Hello, I'm using a UA (WinXP+Appz) DVD. When I run it, after the WinXP install and restart, my cdrom is not detected and i got an error: "'Windows No Disk' 'There is no disk in the drive." Although i have this in my wpi.cmd file @ECHO OFF for %%i in (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if exist %%i:\WIN51 set CDROM=%%i: echo Found CD-Rom as drive %CDROM% When wpi.cmd is called by winnt.sif [GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\wpi.cmd Any help would be appreciated Regards coucou

Hi, Hope i not pollute this thread with my question. Can I use cdswitch to detect my CD/DVD??? In fact I'm using a UA (WinXP+Appz) DVD.

TNX all for yr help @DL: You're right. This i do search without success. In fact my problem is not assigning drives. As i wrote above, After the WinXP install then restart my cdrom is not detected and i got an error: "'Windows No Disk' 'There is no disk in the drive." Although i add this in my .cmd file cmdow @ /HID @echo off FOR %%d IN (c: d: e: f: g: h: i: j: k: l: m: n: o: p: q: r: s: t: u: v: w: x: y: z:) DO IF EXIST %%d\WIN51 SET CDROM=%%d I think, maybe i should use drive assignement. Have you any suggestion for CD detection problem??? @spiritpyre: Yes, in case of 2 HDD installed.Regarding RunOnceEx, i don't use it directly (i've no more RunOnceEx.cmd). I'm using WPI which include it anyway. My problem stay entire! Regards coucou

Hi, @jjvs: I'm interested by yr diskpart suggestion for another problem i have. During the WinXP there are 2 restarts. 1st after copiying files from CD to the HD and the 2nd after Windows installation. Then after the windows installation, my CD is NOT detected and i have error message: "'Windows No Disk' 'There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive' [Cancel] [Try Again] [Continue]" Using diskpart and diskpart.txt, how the system know that the cdrom (and not a hard disk) is assigned to z? Is there any documentation about diskpart? Cheers coucou

Tnx all @spiritpyre: 1) Like you i think it something to do with Administrative Tools/Disks Management. I did it along time ago and not remember how. 2) TNX for the link. Finally i'll do like jbm+2forza suggestion. 3) Sorry, I added now the enclosed image on my original post (here above) Regards coucou
