Thanks, I was wondering about that. searched for it in help, guess I didn't search very good. Now I go to search in autoIt help and find it right away. Mmm must have been half asleep before. Just tried my script using autoit's shutdown function. works much better

I came up with this script that runs shutdown.exe but I don't know how or if its even possible to not have the shutdown.exe window pop up. setting the timeout to 1 is the best I could do. If you leave it off it defaults to 30 seconds. I didn't try setting it to 0 Dim $value Dim $yes Dim $no dim $value dim $timeout dim $nobutton $timeout=01 $yes = 6 $no = 7 $nobutton = -1 $value = MsgBox(4,"Restart required","Click yes to restart No to cancel",60) If $value = $yes or $value = $nobutton Then Run("shutdown.exe -r -t " & $timeout) EndIf

It's definetly fake the only difference is the version number in the file.

I don't see anything wrong with what you did. This is what I use for my promise controller. [SourceDisksFiles] fasttx2k.sys = 1,,,,,,4_,4,1,,,1,4 Also I'm not compressing the file with makecab.

This is the first time I've seen your post. Sometimes it takes awhile. Anyway, this is what I have. Also you might be better of just setting it how you want and exporting this key to a reg file because my settings may not be what you want. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CabinetState] "FullPath"=dword:00000001 "FullPathAddress"=dword:00000001 "Settings"=hex:0c,00,02,00,1b,01,e7,77,60,00,00,00 "Use Search Asst"="no"

I place all my HD controller drivers in the same folder without any problems.

Promise has beta drivers for the fastrak s150 tx2 card on their web site. That card has 2 SATA and one IDE connector.

There shouldn't be any problem. I edit hivesft.inf without any problems.

This is the reg file I use for autologon Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "DefaultUserName"="username" "DefaultPassword"="password" "AutoAdminLogon"="1"

you can find the switches for hotfixes by typing hotfix.exe /? at a command prompt, where hotfix is the name of the hotfix. I rename all mine to KB######.exe I think most of them would be hotfix.exe /passive or /quiet /norestart and if you want to reboot at the end use shutdown.exe -r -t 30 which gives a count down of 30 seconds. Also have you checked out the stick post 'HOTFIXES'

I've seen it posted that OemPnPDriversPath doesn't work for CD. All I know is I've never got it to work. This is the method I've been using for XP Pro. Haven't tried it in win2000 add these line to winnt.sif. of course editing it for your path/drivers [CODE} [Data] OemDrivers=OemInfFiles [OemInfFiles] OemDriverFlags=1 OemDriverPathName="%SystemRoot%\DRIVERS\005HD" OemInfName="fasttx2k.inf","NVATABUS.INF","NVRAID.INF","s150tx2k.inf","Si3112r.inf","SI3114R.INF","ulsata2.inf","VIAPIDE.INF","VIASRAID.INF" Edit the txtsetup.sif the sameway you've been doing and copy Fasttrak.sys to the i386 directory. Copy your driver files to the dir you specified in OemDriverPathName. This thread has more info on it http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=49374

Thanks it worked with out the extra space.

If your going to use autoit then you can keep the exe file. But if you extract the drivers and integrate them you could save some room on your cd.

Are you copying the files to the i386 dir on the cd?

wouldn't using the attrib command in a batch file work? attrib Displays or changes file attributes. ATTRIB [+R | -R] [+A | -A ] [+S | -S] [+H | -H] [drive:][path][filename] [/s [/D]] + Sets an attribute. - Clears an attribute. R Read-only file attribute. A Archive file attribute. S System file attribute. H Hidden file attribute. [drive:][path][filename] Specifies a file or files for attrib to process. /S Processes matching files in the current folder and all subfolders. /D Processes folders as well.

Try "cmd.exe .\reg tweaks\regtweaks.cmd"

download the file in the sticky post titles registry tweaks. you find a lot of tweaks in it. Just make sure you read the instructions They're not ment to all be applied at the same time. Your looking for unprotect system files.

double check you entered it right in the unattended file. This is how I have it in my winnt.sif [userData] ProductKey = XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

found my answer had to change set what=%1 to set what=%~f1

This will have to be applied in cmdlines.txt if you want it to effect all users. When I applied them I had to reboot before they would take effect, I haven't tried them in an unattened install yet but I think they should work. Note I've set the 24 hour to display leading 0 in the hours so I could tell the diff from 12 at a glance. Also H or h makes no difference in the registry. 24hour Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International] ;H=no leading zero HH=leading zero ;still displays AM PM in 24hour mode ;This changes time to 24 hour clock "iTime"="1" "iTimePrefix"="0" "sTime"=":" "sTimeFormat"="hh:mm:ss tt" 12hour Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International] ;H=no leading zero HH=leading zero H 24 hour h 12 hour ;still displays AM PM in 24hour mode ;This changes time to 12 hour clock "iTime"="0" "iTimePrefix"="0" "sTime"=":" "sTimeFormat"="h:mm:ss tt"

Have a look here http://www.intel.com/products/processor/in...cts_processors&

How do the admins know who you are from one logon to the next, when your IP address is different each time? At least that was my interpretation.

I want to copy the command line variable to an environment variable but something like set myvariable = %1 doesn't work

You right there is a pentium D processor that runs at 3.2Ghz I checked on the intel web site to get my info don't know how I missed that. But according to the intel site here http://www.intel.com/products/processor/pentium_D/index.htm the pentium D's are the only ones that support EM64T. The link I clicked on to get to that page was 'CPU's that support EM64T' But I'l have to take your word for it since you have the CPU. Page is probably outdated.

How do you assign a commandline variable to environment variables? using this in a batch file if I don't type anything after mybatch I'm prompted and what is properly assigned the value. But if I type "mybatch doit" its not. Or is this not possible? mybatch set what = %1 if Not DEFINED what set /P what=? echo %1 echo %what% Thanks for any help
