Come on someone help. my win2000 copy is registered 2 me but its for my old compac pc. my hd crashed! Ruddy virus!! So I built a new one, new cpu/mother board/hd. Ive tried making a unattended copy but it wont work. Please help me someone.

Hello people. I have a compac p3 with a include cd of Windows 2000 pro. I go to install this on my new p4 machine which i have built but it comes up this os is not distributed with this machine. Is there a way arround this? I know a little about making an unattended cd so could I do something to make it work? Folders on the cd are compaq discover i386 setuptxt support usw2k_zx valueadd root files inc autorun.inf cdrom_ip.5 cdrom_nt.5 cdromsp2.tst name.bin oslang.cpq setup.exe readme.doc read1st.txt spnotes.htm Thanx

Am I right in thinking that this part of setupmanager runs a setup program stored in $OEM$ folder. If so can this be a installrite setup file? The setup file will reboot and is silent. does this matter? reason being I wish to auto load the resouce CD files(4 setups).

It was the WINNT.SIF file. It hadnt written to the ISO properally. Thanx for your help.

how do I make a CMD file? Do I just copy and paste into notepad and save as clean.cmd ? Do I then put this into the runonce gui?

Done that. Ok ill go through what ive done. Tell me where ive gone wrong. My system is a Dell 2350 with 30Gb HD Split into c: 5gb d: 25gb Also has DVD+rw as drive e: I like to leave c: alone if possible so I always install windows into d: Using UltraISO:- Make CD image of XP_SP1 cd Extract boot image of XP_SP1 cd UltraISO now says the iso is bootable. I then "save as" d:\unattended\XP_SP1.iso I then find and run "setupmgr.exe" I follow the instructions changing all to UK and install from CD options (twice) I then save as d:\unattended\WINNT.SIF the program then tells me that I have 2 new files:- WINNT.BAT WINNT.SIF I now open D:\unattended\XP_SP1.iso I goto the i386 folder and delete WINNT.SIF I add file and open D:\unattended\WINNT.SIF This places the file into the ISO I then "save" I close UltraISO I use Roxio easy CD/DVD creator 5 Basic to open the ISO file. I burn the CD I should now have a bootable unattended cd .

I can make bootable ISO images of the cd's using UltraISO and I have tried making a unattended of the Dell XP home. I made the basic WinNT.sif and placed into the i386 folder. I then made a bootable ISO. The system (Dell 2350) wouldnt boot from cd. Help

I have read the topic on how 2 do. I copied and pasted to note pad and saved as WFP.reg [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWinlogonAdd] "SFCDisable"=dword:FFFFFF9D clicked and ERR Help!! Where when I get it to work would i place into the WinNT.sif??
