    Windows XP install using BartPE

    in Windows PE

    Posted

    Hi,

    First, sorry if this forum is more for WinPE than BartPE, but I feel I would have the same problem with WinPE.

    I am currently trying to launch my unattended Windows XP from bartPE and I have a problem that I can't seem to solve...

    My XP Setup files are on a network share.

    I format the C: drive.

    And then launch my commandline to launch the winnt32 from WinXP, which is as follows :

    winnt32.exe /syspart:c: /tempdrive:c: /unattended:winnt.sif /makelocalsource /s:[networksharename]\i386

    The setup process launches inside of BartPE, and when finished, I reboot from the bartPE session.

    Then, the text-mode setup of XP takes place, without any problem.

    Once the files have been copied, it reboots.

    But then, instead of going to the GUI-mode setup, I am presented with another text-mode setup screen, which says :

    "CAUTION : A Windows folder already exists that may contain a Windows installation"

    and then ask me if I want to remove the existing folder or quit the installation...

    To be honest, I don't understand at all why I can't get to the GUI mode setup.

    I've done searches on message boards and google and my command-line doesn't look so much different than others (and I tried a lot of variations, without success).

    So far, I am doing my simulations on a virtual machine.

    Any idea ?

    Thanks a lot for your help !

    Network share at the Setup

    in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003

    Posted · Edited by Yusuke

    Hi and happy new year.

    I am looking for a way to connect to an Access database located on a network share during the GUI Setup to change the computer name based on the MAC Address.

    Unfortunately, I can't seem to be able to connect to a network share at any stage of the setup.

    net use says that the workstation should be enabled, but even after enabling it, it still doesn't work.

    I started all the services I could during the GUI setup but it didn't allowed me to get into the network share.

    The network adapter is up and running and I can ping the host computer without problems.

    For updating reasons, I need the database to be on a network share rather than on a quite static media like the Windows Setup CD.

    Is it possible to connect to a network share during the GUI Setup ?

    Thanks a lot in advance for your answers,

    Yusuke
