Dynamite

Thanks Kelsenellenelvian Just the job, I'm moving from batch file method to WPI and was looking for a way of starting WPI after Windows has fully installed instead of at T12/T13 so I'll give your RunWPI.cmd a go - Thanks again

I'm a newcomer to WPI but don't really see any need for music at this stage. It can wait IMHO until all is installed and running smoothly.

Hi, Just a thought. As an alternative way to the same ends, you could build no start-up/shutdown sounds into a custom theme. This way you can modify all your sounds if you wish

OK joshiieeii I'll give that a go Edit Trouble is Nlite seems to need NTFS and I'm on FAT32 (for backup reasons)

I have XP Pro (original with no service packs) this CD can see my RAID array I Have slipstreamed SP2 into the above as per the guides. this CD cannot see my RAID array, it states there are no hard drives detected I have also tried putting updated Highpoint RAID drivers into my slip'ed CD but still no joy. Slip'ed CD works fine if installing onto a single HDD, but not RAID 0 Question is: What am I missing? I recently downloaded a Slipstreamed DVD made by somebody else, to see if it was just my CD's and this works fine. But has a different file structure (no extra drivers) System: Abit KT7A RAID AMD Athlon 1.2GHz IBM 40GB HDD's (now Weston Digital 80GB HDD's) First part of my winnt.sif - including drivers [Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated = 0 UnattendedInstall = Yes [Unattended] UnattendMode = FullUnattended UnattendSwitch = Yes OemPreinstall = Yes OemSkipEula = Yes ComputerType = "Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC", Retail FileSystem = * WaitForReboot = No TargetPath = "\Windows" DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore NonDriverSigningPolicy = Ignore OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\006_storage;Drivers\006_storage\3ware;Drivers\006_storage\3ware\6000;Drivers\006_storage\3ware\7k&8k;Drivers\006_storage\acard;Drivers\006_storage\acard\6280;Drivers\006_storage\acard\6290;Drivers\006_storage\acard\67160;Drivers\006_storage\acard\671x;Drivers\006_storage\acard\6880;Drivers\006_storage\acard\6890;Drivers\006_storage\acard\68x5;Drivers\006_storage\adaptec;Drivers\006_storage\adaptec\aac;Drivers\006_storage\adaptec\aar1210;Drivers\006_storage\adaptec\i2o;Drivers\006_storage\adaptec\u160;Drivers\006_storage\adaptec\u320;Drivers\006_storage\adaptec\u320r;Drivers\006_storage\ali;Drivers\006_storage\amd;Drivers\006_storage\highpoint;Drivers\006_storage\highpoint\hpt366;Drivers\006_storage\highpoint\hpt371;Drivers\006_storage\highpoint\hpt374;Drivers\006_storage\highpoint\hpt3xx;Drivers\006_storage\highpoint\rr182x;Drivers\006_storage\intel;Drivers\006_storage\intel\eide;Drivers\006_storage\intel\sataraid;Drivers\006_storage\intel\u320r;Drivers\006_storage\ite;Drivers\006_storage\lsilogic;Drivers\006_storage\lsilogic\megaide;Drivers\006_storage\lsilogic\mraid35x;Drivers\006_storage\lsilogic\mylex;Drivers\006_storage\lsilogic\symmpi;Drivers\006_storage\nvidia;Drivers\006_storage\nvidia\eide;Drivers\006_storage\nvidia\raid;Drivers\006_storage\promise;Drivers\006_storage\promise\fasttrak;Drivers\006_storage\promise\fasttx2k;Drivers\006_storage\promise\sx4000;Drivers\006_storage\promise\sx6000;Drivers\006_storage\promise\ulsata;Drivers\006_storage\promise\ultra;Drivers\006_storage\qlogic;Drivers\006_storage\qlogic\12160;Drivers\006_storage\siimage;Drivers\006_storage\siimage\3112;Drivers\006_storage\siimage\3112r;Drivers\006_storage\siimage\3114;Drivers\006_storage\siimage\3114r;Drivers\006_storage\siimage\3124;Drivers\006_storage\siimage\3124r;Drivers\006_storage\siimage\649r;Drivers\006_storage\siimage\680;Drivers\006_storage\siimage\680r;Drivers\006_storage\sis;Drivers\006_storage\sis\eide;Drivers\006_storage\sis\raid;Drivers\006_storage\via;Drivers\006_storage\via\eide;Drivers\006_storage\via\ideraid;Drivers\006_storage\via\miniport;Drivers\006_storage\via\sataraid;Drivers\007_modem;Drivers\007_modem\Ambit;Drivers\007_modem\Ambit\Usbcm.inf;" Hibernation = No KeyboardLayout="United Kingdom"

troycicle If you call your file 'config.xml' and put it into your ZoneAlarm folder [\$OEM$\$1\Install\Applications\ZoneAlarm]on your CD. It should pick this up duing installation, mine does.

Yeh tcouto I got the same thing, with slipstreamed SP2 into the original XP. However I then used a CD with XP+SP1 (already slipstreamed) added SP2 and it works a treat. I have no idea why the black screen - couldn’t find anything on that at the time. Maybe it's stuck in a loop, maybe, I don't know. Sorry I can't be more positive, but your not alone.

Yes - simple answer. I added SP2 to my XP/SP1 CD when SP2 first came out, as SP2 wouldn’t integrate successfully with my original XP. Always having problems during bootup. Since then I have tried again to slipstream SP2 into the original XP and had success. But it was BIGGER! than the XP/SP1 + SP2 (command line entry)strange but true

I have it as December! strange I do have KB887742 as today though. Perhaps it's somesort of custom release thing from M$, just a thought

I do a similar thing (I have UK only) which works fine, with no default US option showing [RegionalSettings] Language = 0809 also under [GuiUnattended] TimeZone = 85 also under [Unattended] KeyboardLayout="United Kingdom" I’m not familiar with the Kiwi keyboard layout but the time zone will of course be different

Well my experence is, I put shortcuts in here... XPCD\$OEM$\$Docs\All Users\Desktop I also copy a little program called 'Desktop icon Layout' copied from my current setup, so that the layout is the same. Program can be obtained here [http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/iconlayout.zip] and quick launch shortcuts are copied using a batch file, I find this method easier to keep track of. The shortcut is placed with it's program in the Install folder... Copy /y "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\Winamp\Winamp.lnk" "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\"
