I created a floppy image for the fullversion (5 floppy disk) and it works perfectly with EasyBoot. Can you explain to me what is the bcdw/plugin? It seems a good enought protection for me... is there a way for us to use that patched cdfs on our Unattended CDs?

@ Jito463, Thanks! @ Asky, Méga-Thanks! B) I was about to create my floppy image with Winimage but I used RAWRITEXP and your DOS image as you suggested. RAWRITEXP is quite a simple app but it does the job! And the DOS image is exactly what I was talking about... a simple minimal boot disk! I can wait to try it!

so that's it? I just create an autoexec.bat and put exactly: A:\>ADSFI711.EXE A6728IMS.3A0 should I put the A:\> since I am running from a multiboot CD is there a problem with this path?

I got another brillant idea and I wanted to know if someone could help. I'd like to add an option on my multi-boot CD to FLASH the BIOS of our motherboard. Since we always buy the same hardware it would be a great feature. I figured out that what I should do is the following: 1- Build a boot floppy image 2- add the BIOS file + flash program to the image 3- ??? create an autoexec.bat to start the flash program ??? The command I use normally is the following A:\>ADSFI711.EXE A6728IMS.3A0 This is where I need your help as my experience with dos is limited... Also I'd like to know what should be a minimal boot disk. If I build a boot disk with Windows XP, I get the following files (555Kb total): 91Kb - COMMAND.COM (hidden) 22Kb - KEYB.COM 29Kb - MODE.COM 58Kb - EGA2.CPI 58Kb - EGA3.CPI 58Kb - EGA.CPI 1Kb - CONFIG.SYS (hidden) 17Kb - DISPLAY.SYS 114kb - IO.SYS (hidden) 34Kb - KEYBOARD.SYS 32Kb - KEYBRD2.SYS 31Kb - KEYBRD3.SYS 13Kb - KEYBR42.SYS 1Kb - MSDOS.SYS (hidden) Thanks!

Hello everyone, just wondering if someone know how to hide the content of our Unattended CDs... Recently, I burned a boot CD of Acronis Disk Director 9 and I noticed that I am unable to see the content of the CD in DOS and Windows... Seems like a great protection.

Little problem with Nero
Incroyable HULK replied to bart of borg's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
What kind of key do you have? if you have an OEM key you cannot use this switch /sn=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx and you should put your key in a .reg file Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ahead\Nero - Burning Rom\Info] "User"="Something" "Company"="Something" "Serial6"="xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx" and call this file before your installation of nero (example with RunOnceEx.cmd) REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Nero Burning ROM 6.6.0.0" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Nero\register.reg" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 2 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\Nero\nero.exe /silent /noreboot /no_ui" /f -
Clearing Unecessary Files in Drivers Packaging
Incroyable HULK replied to Incroyable HULK's topic in Device Drivers
Well it's about 6Mo of language files... kind of big. Anyway, my point is to better understand Drivers Files but also to save space. My biggest problem is when I get a driver pack with many folders and a lot of files... what can I delete for sure? the setup.exe is probably useless and many other. I started this topic so people could share they're experiment and expertise. Maybe I was hopping someone would come up and say: Well kid, all you have to keep is the .dll + .sys + .inf + .cab and you'll be fine! or something like that. -
I was wondering if anyone get the same as I do... I slipstreamed the Service Pack 1 into Office 2003. If I install and go to office update HERE, it tells me that I cannot update since the installation bla bla bla ... I cannot remember the message exactly ... and I should contact my administrator. Anyone got the same and figured out how to solve it?

Clearing Unecessary Files in Drivers Packaging
Incroyable HULK replied to Incroyable HULK's topic in Device Drivers
Let's say we take a look at my example, in my folder Win2000, Would it be possible to delete all .lhp & .lrc files other than english? should I remove theses entry in the .inf file (keeping only english) or I can leave them there? -
After a clean installation of Windows XP SP2, I get theses empty folders in my Program Files directory: 1- ComPlus Applications 2- microsoft frontpage (with 2 empty sub-folders) 3- xerox Can I delete them safely? Are they going to magically re-appears later?

Hello Everyone, i'm pretty much surprised how much it is adictive to play with unattended installation... Ok, so here is my question: Is there a common way to proceed when playing with drivers package? Let me explain with an example. 1- Let's start with a driver package... let's say this one: Intel Graphic Driver 2- Using WinRAR, I can extract the files from the .exe package 3- Then with common sense, I can figure out that the only folder I should keep is the one nammed Win2000. 4- Now I can put this folder inside my $OEM$ folder and put the proper reference in my Winnt.sif Maybe this example was easy but sometimes with other package you get tons of folders and sub-folders + some .cab files + other unknown files... you get my idea. What I know for sure is that I must keep the .dll + .sys + .inf I'd like to get your tricks, opinions and experience on this matter, any input would be appreciated

Yep, you understood pretty well! Thanks a lot.

Ok, for that part but how would you create this link during an unattended installation? I'd like to integrate it in the Network Neighborhood and then put a shortcut on the desktop...

Is there a way to add a FTP link to the desktop along with the username and password in it?

Unattended Secret: Reducing Size Of Source
Incroyable HULK replied to gosh's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
Well, I just wanted to know where is the real source reduction? I took my Microsoft Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2 Volume Licencing CD and I compared the size: 1- The Original CD-ROM is 574Mo 2- Remove some folders reduce the original CD-ROM to 376Mo* 3- The GOSH method reduce the CD-ROM to 363Mo * Removed Folders at root: DOCS - DOTNETFX - SUPPORT - VALUEADD * Removed Folders in I386: LANG - WIN9XMIG - WIN9XUPG - WINNTUPG So using the SUPER SECRET GOSH method, I loose an incredible 13Mo The only claim left is the speed increase... wich I will test on 2 identical computer later this week. Maybe I'll be able to reduce my installation time of a couple seconds... And if you are still wondering, YES, the use of sarcasm is one of my best quality -

I don't know for WinRAR but for QuickTime you can set these parameter in the QuickTimeInstaller.ini that sit next to your QuickTimeInstaller.exe [QTSETUP] license_option=0 no_dialogs=true registration_dialog=false supress_speed_dialog=true install_qtjava=false install_qd3d=true install_quicklaunch_icons=false install_desktop_icons=false show_sample=false show_readme=false show_programfolder=false install_qtinfo=false show_programfolder=false -
I noticed that cyclopops winnt.bat contains .: Is it valid? in my case I have F: set AnswerFile=.\winnt.sif set SetupFiles=F:\i386 F:\i386\winnt32 /s:%SetupFiles% /unattend:%AnswerFile% /copysource:lang Do somebody know why my winnt.bat generated by setupmgr as assigned a drive letter to it? Also, is the swith /copysource:lang refering to the lang folder? Because I have a localised version of Windows XP (Canadian French) and I have deleted this folder from my CD.
