soporific, I just tried copying those files into the os root directory. The $win_nt$.~ls directory now looks like this: autorun.inf i386 readme.htm support win51ia docs printers setup.exe win51 Still the same issue. It wants to grab the files off of the CD. So I understand this better, does the $win_nt$.~ls/i386 directory end up as c:\i386?

First and foremost, I would like to commend you on your use of Raoul Duke. Secondly, pardon my ignorance, but how do I reference $win_nt$.~/ls/i386 in InstallFilesPath?

Hello All, After spending a week googling for a solution I thought this may be a good place to turn to solve my problem. I am currently trying to use a modified version of unattended.sourceforge.net to install Windows 2003. I was able to add the necessary Mass Storage drivers to my image and boot to the textmode portion of the setup, but after the drivers finish loading, I am presented with this message: insert the CD labeled: "Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition CD-ROM" into your CD-ROM drive For some reason, instead of being copied from local disk, the installer wants to copy the files from the OS CD. I've looked through all of the MS documentation on the subject and I believe my setup looks fine. This is what is copied to my hard disk during the PXE portion of the installation: $/ - contains drivers from i386/$oem$ $ldr$ - copy of setupldr.bin $win_nt$.~bt/ - contents of i386 directory and the i386/system32 directory $win_nt$.~ls/ - contains the i386 directory boot.ini ntdetect.com ntldr txtsetup.sif my boot.ini file looks like: [Boot Loader] Timeout=2 Default=C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT\BOOTSECT.DAT [Operating Systems] C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT\BOOTSECT.DAT = "Installation/Upgrade Windows" My C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT\winnt.sif file looks like this: [Components] iis_pwmgr=On iis_doc=On iis_www=On iis_inetmgr=On iis_common=On [GUIRunOnce] command9=%SystemDrive%\DPsFnshr.exe [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes [Display] Xresolution=1024 BitsPerPel=32 Vrefresh=75 YResolution=768 [params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter01] DefaultGateway=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx IPAddress=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx SubnetMask=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx [UserData] ComputerName=XXXXXXX ProductKey=XXXXXXX [_meta] z_password=XXXXX format_cmd="format /y /z:seriously /q /u /a /v: c:" macaddr=XXXXX z_user=XXXXX z_path=XXXXX/install fdisk_cmds="fdisk /clear 1;fdisk /pri:4000;fdisk /activate:1" x_path=//XXXXX/other replace_mbr=1 OS=win2k3 fdisk_confirm=0 fdisk_lba=1 [NetOptionalComponents] LPDSVC=1 [GuiUnattended] OemSkipWelcome=1 TimeZone=35 OEMSkipRegional=1 AdminPassword=XXXXX AutoLogon=yes [Unattended] DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore FileSystem=ConvertNTFS OemSkipEula=Yes UnattendSwitch=Yes NonDriverSigningPolicy=Ignore UnattendMode=DefaultHide OemPreinstall=Yes ExtendOemPartition=1 [Data] UnattendedInstall=Yes AutoPartition=1 MsDosInitiated=1 floppyless=1 OriSrc="A:\I386" OriTyp=5 [LicenseFilePrintData] AutoMode=PerServer AutoUsers=5 Does anyone see anything wrong with my setup that could be causing this issue?
