firstly great tool thanks to this tool and http://unattended.msfn.org/index.htm iv learnt to make my best xp disk so far with sp2 some drivers and a few other bits, any more id be stepping into xp dvd anyway the problem is I set autopartition =0 and filesystem =* as i want control over this section however 1 option that it skips is looking for old instance of xp and giving me the R (repair) option, any ideas on the winnt.sif entry to enable this would be most grateful. iv done a quick search of the forum and gone thru a lot of the ref.cfm that came with setup manager wizard and come up with nothing :/ TIA
