See none of this makes sense, everyone knows everything and tells me to use the TOOL program so I do, that config doesn't work. THis would be easier if someone could post an example WINNT.SIF file they have that works for ProvideDefault.

Still not work.

You called your self dumb, my point is, if I wanted a fully unattended install I would of put that option, hence I don't so I didnt. Thanks

Okay I changed what you said, and its still not showing the first blue screen in the text install part that says "Welcome to XP at the top or something and says hit Esc to install a brand new copy or HIt R to repair a current install" and it skips over the License agreement screen when I told it not too just to see and its still not listening right.

^^You're lost, thanks.

I've tried making a new one. I dunno anymore. Maybe because i'm using it in XPCREATE??? Dunno how else i would do it tho.

How am I missing a lot of entrees when I used the XP SP2 Deployment Tools to create the answer file... Already checked that site, no help.

Hello.... I don't know if this belongs on XPCREATE forum or the MSFN > Unattened forum so I posted on both, correct me plz. I made a winnt.sif file which looks like the following and put it in the CDSOURCE dir. in the XPCREATE folder since thats the program I used for the ISO creation etc etc... >>>WINNT.SIF ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated=0 UnattendedInstall="Yes" [unattended] UnattendMode=ProvideDefault OemSkipEula=No UnattendSwitch=No OemPreinstall=Yes OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\000_SI3112;Drivers\001_network" WaitForReboot=No KeyboardLayout=US [GuiUnattended] OEMSkipRegional=0 TimeZone=20 OemSkipWelcome=0 [userData] ProductKey=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX FullName="Mike" ComputerName=Wallace [identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes [Components] msmsgs=off msnexplr=off zonegames=off [shell] DefaultStartPanelOff = Yes DefaultThemesOff = Yes [iEPopupBlocker] BlockPopups=No ShowInformationBar=No [WindowsFirewall] Profiles = WindowsFirewall.TurnOffFirewall [WindowsFirewall.TurnOffFirewall] Mode = 0 >>> END My problem is it doesn't enter the CD KEY in the boxes or the Time Zone settings, It does Put my name in and computer name in the box then I just hit next. I'm just wondering why some of the winnt settings are actually working and its ignoring others. I have it set to UnattendMode=ProvideDefault because I still want the box to pop up and just enter the specified data in the winnt.sif file so I can either change if I want or just hit NEXT. Also how can I stop it from just skipping over that first Blue screen after it loads all the drivers and such in the beginning it says like "Welcome to Windows XP" and says hit Enter to continue blah blah, right now it just skips directly to the partition creation screen. Skips over the License Agreement where you hit F8 to accept and I even have OemSkipEula=No .... I'm clueless, anyones feedback is helpful thank you.

The XP install gives me a Fatal Error right when the GUI install part starts after the reboot of the file copying completling, The Fatal Error says something about corruption and it must exit blah blah. No clue. I've tried recoping source, tried different CD. dunno.

I got the drivers working now, except I'm just having problems with this whole thing.

It says the Silicon Image SiI 3112 SATARaid Controller drivers are already integrated into XPCREATE so I did the whole process of making the .iso and went to try installing XP with the new CD except it doesn't work with the drivers. It tells me there are no hard drives valid to install XP on. This would be from XPCREATE not slipstreaming the drivers correcting so it doesn't recognize my SATA hard drives. What is wrong?

How do I select what updates I want integrated? I don't want every single one integrated since some of the stuff I don't use.
