[Newer pc cant install old pc win 2000]

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

oslang.cpq

setup.exe

readme.doc

read1st.txt

spnotes.htm

[GUI run once]

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).

[WinNT.sif]

It was the WINNT.SIF file.

It hadnt written to the ISO properally.

Thanx for your help.

[Remove Directories?]

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?

[WinNT.sif]

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 .

[WinNT.sif]

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.
