hi! I've a trouble of this type: I'm doing an unattended installation of windows xp with some application like acrobat reader, winzip and office 2003 by a shared folder (c:\winxpdist) on a notebook. This is useful for all my installation, and so i used a shared folder on my notebook! All works fine, but... if i use a shared folder i can't format HD of destination's computer because temporary file are transfered on this pc... I think, well, I format & partiton hd with a floppy and then with a floopy boot network i map a network unit and so type unattend command (My shared folder retain 3 file: unattend.bat [the command for my installation]; unattend.txt [with instructions]; and unattend.udb [with the list of computers names]). This is the problem... If i'm working with a s.o. i type: net use <drive letter:> \\<name notebook>\winxpdist <network unit:> unattend <name destination pc> and unattended installation start... but if i have no S.o. and i use a network boot floppy, like Bart or ghost, i can create network unit, but when i type: unattend <name destination pc> an error occur, like bad command or file or command not found... Why???? Please help me.... And i'm very sorry for my bad english
