hey thanks for the reply Shark007, I figured out what I was doing wrong. Another attempt at RTFM dumbarse and I got it. "If Winbom.ini is used during your installation and configuration process, the optionalsources=yes line change is needed in the [WinPE] section so that extra files on Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 CD2 are recognized during the preinstallation process."

Thanks TOBE for the help. The key I'm using is the correct one. I'll try adding the contents of disk 2 into the image files and see where it goes. I'm assuming that MC shouldn't be much different than XP, just the second set of .CABS, so I guess no one else has had issues but my moronic self. This would explain why there's not much info on the forums so far maybe? TOBE continued...

Hello Everyone! I'm new here and have done lots of searching on the forums so far, however I've not found much information on Windows Media Center Edition. Sure I know it's very similiar to XP Pro, but i was wondering if anyone has experimented with a unattended preinstall of MC? or has posted an example? I'm actually trying to make an install image to a drive that can be duplicated to other drives. The problem I'm having is that second disk. The image drive I am using currently will install on the same drive, then erase the install folders. The preinstall tools that make the image share on my server never ask me for the second disk, they only use the first for the install. So when the image is copied over and setup on my "image master" hard drive (the one I copy to other drives) will only do a basic XP install, not the MC edition. Please tell me if I'm not making any sense, and I'll try to elaborate further. I've look at many sources for info but just found you guys here. I can tell you folks have got the brains, so any help would be appreciated. :-)
