thanks for the replies all! $OEM$\$1 - worked a trick i set the option to YES and it all worked.. a few bugs with my batch script, but nothing i cant handle .. thanks all!

"When the \$OEM$\$1\Install is copied over to the hard drive during Setup, the layout is: C:\Install\" thats from the OEM reference .. confused

the winnt.sif wasnt working because it was in the wrong directory.. as for the OEMpreinstall.. makes sense to me.. ill give it a shot and tell u guys whats the result thanks

Hey guys.. my first attempt of making an unattended xp and its gone wrong! My issues are.. 1.) the $OEM$\$1 folder with my applications in doesnt get copied over! 2.) the unattended wizard i made doesnt work! it still asks all the **** questions I think my issue is my winnt.sif file. Am i correct by putting it in the CD root? (i.e G:\) Below is a copy of my sif: ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=1 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" [Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=No TargetPath=\WINDOWS DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore OemPnPDriversPath="drivers01_sound;drivers02_webcam;drivers03_tv;drivers04_motherboard" KeyboardLayout="United Kingdom" [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=**** EncryptedAdminPassword=Yes OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=85 OemSkipWelcome=1 [UserData] ProductKey=**** FullName="Andy Taylor" OrgName="" ComputerName=CHERRY-FU [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 SystemLocale=00000809 UserLocale=00000809 InputLocale=0809:00000809 [Identification] JoinWorkgroup=MSHOME [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes [Components] msmsgs=off msnexplr=off freecell=off hearts=off minesweeper=off pinball=off solitaire=off spider=off zonegames=off [GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\auto.cmd

ahhh seems a skipped step 4 on beggining users. my bad
