I am trying to do unattended installations of W2K. I have no problems unless the hard drive was used prior to the w2K install with a different OS (Linux usually). Is there a way to force the system to ALWAYS do a full format instead of a quick format? Here is the code from the winnt.sif file that I am currently using. [Data] AutoPartition=1 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" [unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\Pro100" OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes Repartition=Yes FileSystem=ConvertNTFS

YOU GUYS ROCK!!! Thanks a lot. You fixed not only my driver problem, but also my script problems. I REALLY appreciate the help! Tony

I changed the name of my directory to $OEM$ and it still does not work. Here is what I have in my winnt.sif: [unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemFilesPath="\$OEM$" OemPnPDriversPath="\Drivers\Pro100;\Drivers\Pro1000" OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=No Repartition=Yes FileSystem=ConvertNTFS Any Help would be greatly appreciated... Tony

Geez, I'll bet that will fix the problem. What a dork I am... I had the $1 folder named correctly, but not the $OEM$... Thanks Tony

p.s I searched on this subject and am doing what I found in the searches... I think Tony

I am working on an unattended installation of w2k from a bootable cd and cannot get the %OEM% directory to work. I want to load additional drivers, and copy some file to the hard drive. I cannot get it to work at all. My directory structure is as follows: \%OEM%\Drivers\Pro100 I also had a directory directly below the \%OEM%\ named C so that it would copy those files to the C drive. does this not work on a bootable cd? In my winnt.sif file I have the following: OemPnPDriversPath="\Drivers\Pro100 It doesnt seem to be working. Any assistance would be appreciated. Tony

I have never used either of those programs. I'll look them up though because I am NOT rich.... Thanks Tony p.s. HELP!!! I am still stuck on this ....

I am trying to change my W2K unattended install to work with multiple hard drive systems. I had it working with no problems with a single hard drive using absolute pathnames for the GuiRunOnce to run my final install script. With relative pathnames I cannot get it to work. I have the winnt.sif in the I386 folder (as I did with the single hard drive load) and my batch script residing in the root of the CD. I referenced my batch file as follows: Command0=..\w2k.bat This did not work. When windows finishes loading and goes to find that file it says it cannot find it. I have tried numerous variations of this to get it to work. I have wasted at LEAST 15 cds trying to figure it out. I am at a complete loss. Any help would be appreciated.. Tony
