hello all, I've created my first unnatended windows vista dvd. it's size is 4.3Gb and i created it step by step: 1)integrate the updates before sp1 2)inegrate sp1 3)integrate all updates after sp1 4)make it unnatended i then created an image of it with vlite and burned that on a dvd-rw, I boot up from it but after accepting the license agreetment i need to select the drive/partition where i want to install vista to and then i get this error 0x80300001. I googled it but i didn't find anything that really could solve this problem, so i decided to make a topic about it. i also found another topic here on this forum with same problem and he solved it by formatting his drive tried that but didn't help... andy ideas ? things i've tried: -delete all partitions and make one big one (drive c:) -run chkdsk /r on startup -made a new partiton fully formatted, again chkdsk/r -today(august 15'th) i did a format of my hd, didn't help either. it keeps asking for a driver, on gathering tweakers there is a topic wich is going about the same problem and he solved it by slipstreaming his ichr driver to a floppy. then on the vista setup he said to look after drivers in the floppy and that solved the problem. i Never heard of ichr drivers, i also googled it but didnt found anything usefull. today is an other day, i again started googling my problem but i think it's all going about the sata driver, so maybe deleted something that i shouldn't so i will post my xml file. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend"> <settings pass="windowsPE"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core-WinPE" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="NonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <SetupUILanguage> <UILanguage>nl-NL</UILanguage> </SetupUILanguage> <InputLocale>080c:0001080c</InputLocale> <UserLocale>nl-BE</UserLocale> <UILanguage>nl-NL</UILanguage> <SystemLocale>nl-BE</SystemLocale> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="NonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <UserData> <ProductKey> <Key> Just a Product Key</Key> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> </ProductKey> </UserData> <ImageInstall> <OSImage> <InstallFrom> <MetaData wcm:action="add"> <Key>/IMAGE/NAME</Key> <Value>Windows Vista HOMEPREMIUM</Value> </MetaData> </InstallFrom> <InstallToAvailablePartition>false</InstallToAvailablePartition> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> </OSImage> </ImageInstall> </component> </settings> <settings pass="oobeSystem"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="NonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <AutoLogon> <Password> <Value>robin</Value> </Password> <Enabled>true</Enabled> <LogonCount>1</LogonCount> <Username>Administrator</Username> </AutoLogon> <OOBE> <NetworkLocation>Home</NetworkLocation> <ProtectYourPC>3</ProtectYourPC> <SkipMachineOOBE>true</SkipMachineOOBE> <SkipUserOOBE>false</SkipUserOOBE> </OOBE> <UserAccounts> <AdministratorPassword> <Value>robin</Value> </AdministratorPassword> </UserAccounts> </component> </settings> <settings pass="specialize"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Security-Licensing-SLC-UX" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="NonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <SkipAutoActivation>true</SkipAutoActivation> </component> </settings> <cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim:C:/Users/xpx/Documents/Vista setup !/na sp1-LRMCxFRE_NL_DVD/sources/install.wim#Windows Vista HOMEPREMIUM" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" /> </unattend> untill this far nothing helped... thanks in advance, eye-tea
