Jaclaz, Thanks for the fast reply. This is a great forum to look up things. I understand better now about the installation of my utilities programs in a dual boot environment. I was trying to be lazy and not have to install somethings twice. I see now that I will have to. Thanks, Dzgruntld Yes, I am a Postal Worker. No, I do not own a gun.

Greeting MSFN, I understand dual booting so I can have two or more operating systems on one computer. My question or part I am not sure of is,will or can the operating systems share applications/ programs? Example: Disk0 partition 1 Windows XP partition 2 Windows Vista partition 3 Utility Programs ( firewall, anti-virus, word processor, etc) partition 4 My Documents folder With my utilities installed on partition 3, will each OS be able to access and run the same program? I think I mean can I install the utility programs once into a single partition? With My Documents installed on partition 4, will each OS be able to access and modify files and the other OS still read a modified file? I hope I am making some kind of sense in my questions. Thanks, Dzgruntld Yes, I am a Postal Worker. No, I do not own a gun.

Greetings MSFN and Alman84, I am not asking the question right, I know what I want:) I think I understand the coding ""firefoxinstall.exe -ms"". That is telling windows to install Firefox and do it silently. My question is: Where will windows find the "" firefoxinstall.exe"" It is not on the hard drive yet, we are still installing the OS. Right?? So I am thinking ""firefoxinstall.exe"" will be on the Unattended Install Disk. Where do I extract/ copy the ""firefox.exe"" to?

Greetings MSFN again, I think I found the answer to my own "duh" question. I needed to read more of the instructions. Somebody please correct if I am wrong. I THINK I need to copy the actual program itself into the: \$OEM$\$1\Install\Applications\"Program's Name"\ folder, ( I would need to make the folder??) Thanks again for a great site, Dzgruntld Yes, I am a Postal Worker No, I don't own a gun

Greetings MSFN, This site is really nice to learn from, I am having fun learning to make an Unattended install disk. I am following the online guide and a lot of it makes sense, so far. My question seems like one of those "duh" ones so bare with me please. I am following the part about installing applications, sort of understand the switching and telling Windows to do this and that. So here is the "duh' part, where do I put the actual programs I want? I know,( I think ), the applications' software has to, should be somewhere for Windows to find. How would I keep the Unattended install under 700MB so I can use a CD if I add everything I want? I don't mind using a DVD if I have to, just trying to reach a new level of Geekdom. Thanks for a great site and the information, Dzgruntld PS: Yes, I am a Postal Worker. No, I don't own a gun.
