Instead of adding everything and testing it, start with winnt.sif alone and test it. Then put everything else back in one at a time until the problem is narrowed down.

So you want Microsoft to make a filter to not block popups that have sexy women on it?

You won't need those two in Components for Windows 2000 (msmsgs=off and msnexplr=off). Because it doesn't come with Windows Messenger or MSN Explorer, only XP does.

Yep, its new

Is your image over 2GB? Virtual PC doesn't like it, so the only workaround is to use Daemon-tools or Alcohol 120%. More is explained here: http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/finish.htm - Under Notes.

Have you tried without specifying cat files? call out a cmd file in your svcpack.inf, something like: ECHO This is svcpack.inf executing PAUSE EXIT So you'll know if its been executed or not. --- For home_page to work, you'll need the following in winnt.sif: [branding] BrandIEUsingUnattended=Yes This should have been automatically created with setupmgr.exe though...

cmdlines.txt can only be tested at T-12 minute stage of Windows XP Setup. But you can easy debug cmdlines.txt by running the commands listed in there in a Command Prompt.

Hi muslim, you can get an updated copy at: http://flyakite.msfnhosting.com/downloads.htm (thanks to Flyakite)

Thanks for that info Shark007, its now obvious that my current IDE drives is the serious bottleneck in this high-spec PC. I'll be getting myself a WD Raptor 74GB SATA drive soon!

In my view, a licence is expensive for Standard edition, costing about $800 for a single licence. If you're happy with the features provided by Windows 2000 Adv. Server it would be best to stick with it. Try ebay if you're lucky but you will want to make sure it hasn't been activated. Getting your domain name to point to your static IP is done by going to the Administration options provided by the domain seller, simply edit your "A Name" Record for "www" in DNS to your own static IP, and wait about 24-48 hours for the DNS to propagate.

2) No, CDROM is just an environment variable you created with IF EXIST, it can be named anything really. You could have it like this if you wanted to: IF EXIST D:\CDPath.txt set SOMEOTHERNAME=D: and the environment variable pointing to where it located the file "CDpath.txt" will be called %SOMEOTHERNAME%

REG ADD %KEY%\215 /V 1 /D "msiexec -i \"%CDROM%\Software\VMware4\VMwareWorkstation.msi\" INSTALLDIR=\"C:\Program Files\VMware4.exe\" ADDLOCAL=ALL /qn USERNAME=flob SERIALNUMBER=****-****-****-**** REBOOT=ReallySuppress" /f Execute the file then check the registry to see if its output correctly.

If you do get more RAM: Existing 32 MB ram = Windows 95/NT4 64 MB = Windows 98 128 MB = Windows 2000 192/256 MB = Windows XP/2003

Depending on what you use to route, you could possibly block access to the Internet based on the MAC address the NIC uses. Its possible with IPTables

Upgrading from Windows 98 to XP is problem-prone and can cause all sorts of problems... Still, try updating the graphics drivers for your card (there are new driver updates every month or so for ATI/Nvidia)

Oh no not the flying zebras again! Welcome to MSFN Swerver

Do you use XPCREATE? Otherwise I'm moving this post to the Software Hangout forum.
