Guys I need some help ATM I use RIS to start ghost to deliver my images then Sysprep them. I have to use Ghost as Win2k3 doesnt allow delivery of all operating systems + I need dual boot configurations. My newer Computers boot to RIS as they have bootable network cards. The problem I have is my older PC's need a floppy disks to boot into RIS. When I select the menu to load ghost from the RIS server is asks for files from the Floppy which is not there as its just a RIS boot disk. (I hope Ive explain this properly) Cant anyone suggest anything to stop this happening apart from replacing network cards/PC's

I too have this problem ATM and my [unattended] part my winnt.sif is very similar. Im yet to experiment and try earlier NVIDIA drivers. It seems as if its waiting for input like the driver signing window but nothing comes up. Whilst I assumed it was the NVIDIA drivers I wasnt sure until this thread. I have set "DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore". My XP unattend works perfectly with similar settings! Ill be experimenting over the next few days to fix this but if anyone has got a solution it would be a big time saver Thanks

Thanks for the reply: RealCato: - Sorry I forgot to preview the post or I would have given more info.... Its the "Welcome to Windows setup press next to continue" then when next is pressed it continues - unattended from there. Ive used nLite when I was experimenting but used Winnt.sif Creator 2 instead to make the initial sif file. idle.newbie: Thanks I think that could be the answer - Im trying it as I type Thanks both for the response yuruga

For some reason I have to hit next just before the driver install... I can seem to find anything that is causing it.

I am new at this and want to learn - I am slowly working through all the problems and Ive had a few which Ive sorted. Im getting this error in Virtual PC 2004 "internal data structure are corrupt (Phase 0)" on the first goot entering GUI mode. (Im glad I havent burnt the DVD yet I would of wasted a Spindle of 50). What have I done wrong? Ive read a MS Knowledge Base article saying that it could have been MsDosInitiated = 0 and the UnattendedInstall = Yes but mine are correct? Im creating the ISO with CDIMAGE and the ISO size is 1.35G Ive tried Virtual PC with both Its virtual drive as well as Alcohol's Virtual Drive My intentions are a simple Unattended install with Office and a couple of apps. I want to get complicated later. My Winnt.sif looks like: [Data] AutomaticUpdates = 1 AutoPartition = 1 MsDosInitiated = 0 UnattendedInstall = Yes [Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEulA=Yes OemPreinstall=No TargetPath=\WINDOWS Repartition=Yes Unattendswitch="Yes" WaitForReboot="No" OemPnPDriversPath= DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore AutoActivate=No [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=No OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=255 ProfilesDir="%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\" [Display] BitsPerPel=32 XResolution=1024 YResolution=768 Vrefresh=70 [UserData] ProductKey=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx FullName="xxxxxxxxx" OrgName="xxxxxxxxxx" ComputerName=ARNOLD [TapiLocation] CountryCode=61 Dialing=Tone [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 Language=00000809 [Identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes [Components] msmsgs=off msnexplr=off media_clips=off Accessopt=off fax=off hypertrm=off rec=off zonegames=off [Shell] DefaultStartPanelOff=Yes DefaultThemesOff=Yes [GUIRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\Regisryhacks.cmd %systemdrive%\install\appinsto.cmd %systemdrive%\install\applications.cmd Any Ideas would be gratefull
