Rob325's idea sounds like what I would like to do. The other options, don't offer much advantage to me over what I already have. My logic is... 1: Put the CD in and boot from it 2: Wait a minute or so, then put in the Computer Name 3: Go surfing (in the ocean) and forget all about what I was working on 4: Come home to a 100% configured PC Rob- Since you have seen it working, could you give me some more ideas on what to do next? Lets assume that I can somehow boot from CD and run a batch file that asks the computer name. Next thing to do is copy winnt.sif to the ramdrive and modify it by changing the computer name. What do I do now? Assuming my hard drive is not formatted, how do initiate Windows setup and point it to the modified winnt.sif file? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, Slacker
