If you are booting from a CD, it WILL NOT use a file named unattend.txt it doesn't matter if it exists or not it will not use it so, thats why i asked why deleting if it dosnt matter (maybe for the 2kb of space )
this is what i did: 1: copy windows XP cd to Harddisk 2: create a Winnt.sif file: ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=1 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" [Unattended] UnattendMode=ProvideDefault OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=No TargetPath=\WINDOWS UnattendSwitch=yes WaitForReboot=No DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore KeyboardLayout=Dutch [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=NO AutoLogon=Yes AutoLogonCount=1 OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=110 [UserData] ProductKey=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx ProductID=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx FullName="Daan" OrgName="www.start.start" ComputerName=xxxxxxx [Display] BitsPerPel=32 Xresolution=1024 YResolution=768 Vrefresh=85 [TapiLocation] CountryCode=31 AreaCode=013 LongDistanceAccess="5114093" [Branding] BrandIEUsingUnattended=Yes [URL] Home_Page=www.start.start Help_Page=help.home.nl Search_Page=www.Google.nl [Proxy] Proxy_Enable=0 Use_Same_Proxy=1 [Identification] JoinWorkgroup=Mshome [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes [Components] msmsgs=off msnexplr=off freecell=off hearts=off minesweeper=off pinball=off solitaire=off spider=off zonegames=off [GuiRunOnce] Command0="control userpasswords2" 3: Copy it to \XPCD\I386 4: used that program from this site to create an bootable image 5: copyed it to a CD-RW 6: reboot my computer with the cd, and instaled windows and still it askes me for a serial number and things like that(i meen that nothing has been filled in for me). what am i doing wrong ???????????????????
i want still can chance the information (something like blueprints ) but its not only the serial number i dont get. its more. also the computer name and things like that, do i forget something? (look at my other post to see what i did)
ok, so then whats the problem? the only thing i do is creating a Winnt.sif file and put it in: \XPCD\I386 this is my Winnt.sif file: ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=1 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" [Unattended] UnattendMode=ProvideDefault OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=No TargetPath=\WINDOWS UnattendSwitch=yes WaitForReboot=No DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore KeyboardLayout=Dutch [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=NO AutoLogon=Yes AutoLogonCount=1 OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=110 [UserData] ProductKey=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx FullName="Daan" OrgName="www.start.start" ComputerName=xxxxxxx [Display] BitsPerPel=32 Xresolution=1024 YResolution=768 Vrefresh=85 [TapiLocation] CountryCode=31 AreaCode=013 LongDistanceAccess="5114093" [Branding] BrandIEUsingUnattended=Yes [URL] Home_Page=www.start.start Help_Page=help.home.nl Search_Page=www.Google.nl [Proxy] Proxy_Enable=0 Use_Same_Proxy=1 [Identification] JoinWorkgroup=Mshome [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes [Components] msmsgs=off msnexplr=off freecell=off hearts=off minesweeper=off pinball=off solitaire=off spider=off zonegames=off [GuiRunOnce] Command0="control userpasswords2" and still it askes me for a serial number and things like that.
