I found where to put the xml file with the OOBE options;)

my question is, where do you put that other file?? The one with the OOBE options. Thanks Ciao

Hello, My problem is that when I want to deploy Windows Vista Business with WDS and a Unattend.xml file he gives a error on the workstation. The error comes when the installation wants to copying the Windows files (first step). the error that's shown is: "Windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of installation. To install Windows, restart te installation". It's a SATA disk maybe that's the problem?! Now I have used diskconfiguration in my Unattend.xml file. When I don't use diskconfiguration the installation goes on and it works. I have used the diskconfiguration step by step manual from the site: http://firegeier.unattended-sponsor.de/en/answer_file_3.html. So I don't know what the problem can be and that's why I write this topic. Thanks & Ciao
