Thanks for all the suggestions. The file I attached winnt.sif.txt was an error. It is really named winnt.sif and is located in the /XPCD/I386. I am booting from a CD that contains an iso image of XP (used CDImage). I am just wondering how winnt.sif is called. I was told that I needed to create a batch file using winnt with the unattend switch to get this to work. If this is true can anyone show me how this is syntaxed and where the batch file should be placed. Details are appreciated Thanks again to this wonderful forum, it's good to have a community of experts

I have created an answer file using setupmgr, and renamed it winnt.sif. I subsequently placed it in the I386 folder which is off of a folder called XPCD and ran CDImage for XP. This created and ISO image that when ran from Virtual PC will boot and start the setup process for windows, but I am always prompted for the things I answered in the answer file. Can anyone point to the error of my ways. Thanks...your help is greatly appreciated winnt.sif.txt

I've slipstreamed XP and it works, problem is the answer file I created with setupmgr is not working. I remaned it winnt.sif and placed it in the /XPCD/I386 folder because the install will be done from the slipstream CD of XP. Can someone help me with this issue thanks. Oh by the way setupmgr creates a batch file as well, not sure what to do with it. Thanks again I have also included the file winnt.sif for review
