Thanks again!! Everything working fully unattended now!!! Maybe my last two questions were a little "dumb"? If so, maybe you could point me to some websites/ forums were I should have read about this? Sorry I missed the part about <settings pass="WindowsPE">... [EDIT: After re-reading all the documentation, it all seems so simple, maybe it's just my fault that I sometimes can't grasp some concepts before I actually *try* them ] Thank you very much for your very clear and precise answers up to now, thanks to you I now have a powerful PE (SE v17) system combined with a fully unattended W7 setup on one USB stick! (plus my automatic PostInstall system, which installs all my tools and applications).

Maybe I shoud rephrase that last question a bit more clearly: - Why is it that a W7 autounattend.xml file works on a normal/ full install, but leaves one "Attended" screen in a WinNTSetup2-based install?

JFX, Thank you very much for your reply. The "sysletter:c" did the trick!! I'm very happy that everything works now, this means that I come ever closer to my "everything on one USB stick" goal! Right now, I have Win PE SE on it, some more Grub-started stuff (Ghost, ADDS, etc), W7 setup from WinPE SE (thanks to WinNTSetup2!), my backups (Truecrypt volumes), etc. As I said, the Windows 7 setup is going smoothly, including autounattend.xml. I'm using the same file as I used on my "standalone" W7 install stick (that install is completely unattended, except for the HD partitioning screen). When I use the file in *this* setup (using WinNTSetup2), there is one (and only one) screen I get, just before setup is done. It's the "Activate" screen, which asks me for the serial. The screen also has the "Acticate automatically" checkbox. I didn't get this screen on the "other" USB, so I wonder what particular setting it is that I should add in autounattend.xml. But I'm VERY happy with the way things are going up to now, thank you very much for this great utility!!!

Hello everybody, I'm new to WinNTSetup2, I think it's a great utility and I'm looking forward to using it (from my "Master" USB, which is a bootable WinPESE v17 USB stick, with all my backups in Truecrypt containers, extra software, OS ISO's etc). So far, I've done two major tests, one for XP and one for W7. It would be very nive if you could help me a little with the following: This is what I do: (1) Boot my test-laptop (HP nc6320, one HD) from USB stick using WinPE SE v17. (2) Disk management: Format HD: One partition, format NTFS, active (3) Run OSFMount, this mounts my W7 (untouched MSDN) setup image to F:\ (4) Start WinNTSetup2 as follows: WinNTSetup2_x86.exe -nt6 -source:f:\sources\install.wim -syspart:c: -setup -unattend:"autounattend.xml" -savedriveletters This is working nicely, with just one issue: My systemdrive is now called D: I tried the above setup without the "savedriveletters", it didn't help. I'm running out of ideas, even though I've been reading a lot of stuff about this issue. Can anybody give me some hints to test out? My ultimate goal is to make a little AutoIt/AutoHotkey script to automate the install, looks like I'm very close, if I could only get the driveletter right...
