BioHaZarD... You Say : ((( there is a xpboot.img file that gets copied or put as a seperate track on the CD so that the computer treats the CD as a boot floppy to run the winnt.exe ))) i have an image to do that.. not like normal windows XP poot CD. in normal case.. it tells u to press any key to boot from CD-rom .. & u should do that fast or PC'll poot from hard Drive. what i did.. is a normal (windows98 start-up disk) but editing it's Autoexe.bat So it boot directly wihtout asking u to press any keys, Auto loading (smartdrv.exe), & puts u at the first screen of windowsXP setup. i test it to make pootable XP-CD.. & it working fine,,

HOW can i escape from adding CD-key of windows xp in the (Answer file) when i delet it's line in answer file.. winXP setup tell my that i put wrong CD-key in script file (answer file )..! i want setup to ask user for his CD-key without giving any messages ! other meaning.. whant the license agreement & the cd-key window to appear for the end user to put his CD-key.. what i should do in the answer file to make this Go ?? --------------- * any one know any thing about (bootcfg1.exe) ?? it gives me worng message when i open windows explorer ??

Thanks Bi0haZarD.. Yesterday.. i managed to do some fix to make the setup never search the CD-rom for winnt.sif it's not a good way.. but it worked.. all i do a patch file with this command @echo off cd i386\ start /i winnt32 /unattend1:unattend.txt exit ------------ where (unattend.txt) is the answer file , i put it inside (i386) folder i think (winnt.sif) for CD installation only.. !!! the setup gos fine.. it's all about (winnt32 /unattend1:unattend.txt ) command.. it tels the setup that it's an Unattended setup.. & the answert file is there.. if there is mutch petter way for this.. please tell me.. By the way.. this command for New istallation ONLY.. not for updating ..

Hii i need help about making unattended XP istall.. but from HardDrive.. not from istallation CD !! -How can i use Unattended install when my XP source files (installation Files) were in my hard drive & not from CD . it's all about "Unattend.txt" & "winnt.sif" ,, but don't know how !! i know i can use CD unatteded install by copying "Winnt.sif" inside (i386) but what about when I have installation files on my HardDrive ??? *-Other meaning.. ( when U copy windowsXP installation CD to ur HardDrive ) i think .. during whendows setup.. it search floppy & CD-rom for (winnt.sif).. But it doesn't look for it in (i386) folder. How can i make setup manager know the place of (winnt.sif) in (i386) folder ?? thanks...
