This is a copy of my winnt.sif file without the key and my name. and a copy of the winnt.bat file

I've made a slipstreamed sp2 xp disk with a unattended install. It works fine as long as i have a OS installed. What I would like to know is how do I do an unattended install on a system without an OS installed?
