You don't even need to swap the bootable drive in the BIOS. I use System Commander from V-Com. http://www.v-com.com/product/System_Commander_Home.html I run: Knoppix Windows 2000 Pro Windows XP (Home, Pro, and Media Center) Windows Vista (Build 5744) When the computer comes on the program asks what OS you wnat to boot to and then it does all the work for you. It is not free, but it is the best. I have been using it for about 7 years (different releases of course) and have not had a single issue related to the software. Cheers,

@ OrcoXP How about posting your .cmd and .reg files that you reference in your GUIRunOnceEx.cmd. Thanks

Don't you just hate it when someone spots the obvious? Thanks, I will give it i shot.

My RunOnceEx.cmd runs fine, with one exeption. My NAV Corp 9.0 does not install. It does show up in the list of programs to be installed andthe system seems to take enough time to fully install it. But after reboot NAV is not on system. Here is a copy of my RunOnceEx.cmd. cmdow @ /HID @echo off SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Symantec Antivirus Corporate 9" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\sav\Symantec.msi\ /passive /norestart" /f REG ADD %KEY%\002 /VE /D "Symantec Virus Definition Update" /f REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\sav\update.exe /q" /f REG ADD %KEY%\004 /VE /D "winRAR 3.51" /f REG ADD %KEY%\004 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\winrar\wrar351.exe /s" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Ad-Adware SE Pro v1.03" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\adaware\aawsepersonal.exe /s" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "SpyBot Search & Destroy" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\spybot\spybotsd14.exe /silent" /f REG ADD %KEY%\015 /VE /D "Adobe Reader 7" /f REG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Adobe7\Adobe7.msi /qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\025 /VE /D "Importing Registry Tweaks" /f REG ADD %KEY%\025 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\tweaks.reg" /f REG ADD %KEY%\055 /VE /D "Cleaning Up and Rebooting" /f REG ADD %KEY%\055 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\cleanup.cmd" /f EXIT All of the other programs in the list install and run great, just the NAV. Second question. Is there a way to turn off power management to the NIC in the registry? Thanks.

Actually that is a really good question. I have clients that are still on 128k DSL or even dial-up. EWWW, I know. But I would like to be able to script all current hotfixes to install on a computer to be sure that it is updated. If reinstalling a hotfix will not hurt anything this could be ok.

I need to know if it is possible to use the driver packs from Bâshrat the Sneaky with XPCreate? Has anyone tried this? I have searched the forums, but cannot find where anyone has tried this. If there is a better way to integrate drivers I would like to know also. Thanks for your help.
