ausun

No. My hard disk has two partitions, drive c is for OS and drive d is for storing data. I don't have an external DVD ROM so I put the vista source files to d:\vista and booted the computer into Windows PE with a USB flash disk. Then I formatted drive c, copied the vista boot directory and boot.wim in souces directory to drive c, made drive c bootable with command 'c:\boot\bootsect.exe /nt60 c:', reboot the computer, and started the installation by typing the command 'd:\vista\sources\setup.exe' in rescue mode. During installation the system prompts me for the names then I can change the computer name back. It is a small but weird problem. I suspect it is because I didn't start the installation with the setup.exe in the root directory.

Thank you! I will try to figure out the cause for issues 3 and 4. For issue 5, I set the computer name to AUSUN-Q1U and verified the values in Last Session_u.ini and Autounattend.xml. But during installation the computer name field was pre-filled with AUSUN-HP which is the name of the computer I create this disc with. So weird?

I have a Samsung Q1U with Windows Vista Home Premium pre-installed. I created my own vista disc based on the DVD shipped together with the machine. After installing it to Q1U I got some problems. 1. The touch screen works. But when trying to open Calibrate in control panel I got a complain “Failed to enumerate digitizer devices”, so I can’t calibrate the touch screen. 2. Tablet Input Panel won’t launch. Nothing happens when clicking the TIP button on the task bar. 3. Vista can't be activated with the product key printed on the rear of the machine. 4. Cursor keeps switching between arrow and arrow-glass. It seems some application is running in the background and taking some CPU time. I turned off the indexing service but it doesn’t help. 5. The unattended installation for Computer Name doesn’t work. The following lines are the contents of my Last Session file. Is there anything wrong with my configuration?
