the thing is that there are so manny different users i would like to have all the "general" info (such as what workgroup to be in, we have a default admin password, basicly everthing but the user name and cd-key) on the actual CD, so that if one of the other tecks here uses it to install they only halft to enter the cd-key and username into an answer file on a floppy righ tand the rest of the info is on the cd, safe from some of these people :/

XPCREATE fits in with the fact that this is what i am using and thought there might be a way to make it work using something special in this program set.

the two option involve getting this to install, the computers that i am using this for do not nesicaraly need this update, and i do need it to be a fully automatic thing goign from starting with a new empty folder set, ripping the OS cd and then burrnign an iso.

I am a PC technician and we have many people who want to get windows XP installed on there computer. The computers are all makes and models with varying NIC cards. I thought I could do a RIS server and use a USB NIC to do the install but the only USB PXE disk would cost to much to get to make it work. Then I thought about just using an unattended file and bat file on a floppy and have it point to a network share but as of yet have not gotten this to work. Does anyone know of a way that I can use a single floppy to install over a network to a client computer of unknown make and hardware configuration and have the CD-key and name stored on the floppy in an easy to edit format? Thanks for any help Walter
