Thank you! that worked perfectly! I am now going through the unattended install forum thread to see if I can find out anything about how to make the home page stay - Thank you kindly for your help and patience!

Thank you, that did the trick - now if I could get the display and the URL information to stay? any ideas on those? I tried to add the autoconfirm = 1 and it still did not take the display - it ask me to confirm the settings. Thank you again for your help..

help, if anyone reads this - I have burned around 10 dvds trying to get this method to work. I am a newbie and this so tell me everything in plain english. The drivers will not install; I have it setup to do a clean format - do you see anything else wrong? Also do I need a copy of the winnt.sif and winnt.exe in the system32 folder? Here is what my winnt.sif looks like and it is located under my the I386 folder which is located at the same folder as $OEMS$: ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=1 MsDosInitiated= No UnattendedInstall= Yes AutomaticUpdates= Yes [unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS Repartition = yes UnattendSwitch=yes WaitForReboot=No [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=35 OemSkipWelcome=1 DetachedProgram=".\system32\cmd.exe" Arguments="/Q /C FOR /F %I IN (%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\$WINNT$.INF) DO (FOR %J IN (%I$OEM$) DO (IF EXIST %J (start /min /D%J Drivers.cmd)))" [userData] ProductKey=*****-*****-*****-*****-***** FullName="unknown" OrgName="mine" ComputerName=* [identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP [Display] BitsPerPel=32 Xresolution=1024 YResolution=768 Vrefresh=75 [branding] BrandIEUsingUnatteded=Yes [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes [Components] msmsgs=off freecell=off hearts=off minesweeper=off pinball=off solitaire=off spider=off zonegames=off [shell] DefaultStartPanelOff=YES DefaultThemesOff=YES
