Hi everyone! Got my XPCD finished and bootable and it installs windows xp pro sp1 (corporate) fine. Settings are automatically setup etc. But none of my applications/updates work eg DX9.0b When WinXP is finished installing it comes up with an error message and I quote: Windows cannot find 'C:\install\batch.cmd'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the start button, and then click search. All files such as hotfixes ARE copied to the HDD after formatting. Daniel (see below for my code sections)

What's WinISO (where can I get it?)

As topic. My CD is finished but I now want to make it bootable. Can anyon explain to me in very simple terms how to do this? Daniel

NO not extractable. Thanks for the suggestion tho. I'll try it out. Daniel

Hi everyone! My unnattended XP CD is almost complete and I'm just about to burn it but I want to know if it will make any difference defagmenting the HDD before burning? Thanks Daniel

hmmmmm... Mines an OEM version and when I copy it to the HDD there is only 1 thing copied and that is the "SETUP" Application thing. Can I use this? It says "32-bit Setup Launcher" (no quotations) under the name SETUP. Daniel

Thanks

I want to integrate Norton Utilities into my unnattended XP setup but I'm not sure how. Anyone help me by telling me what to put into my batch file? Also do I just copy straight from CD, then add lines to batch file then everything should be OK or any other steps? Thanks Daniel

So how exactly do you integrate this into the batch file? Just copy SHUTDOWN -r -t 60 -c "Restarting computer in 1 minute" to end of batch file? Before "EXIT"? Any ECHO's needed before or after? (Yes I know im a n00b ) Thanks Daniel

Thanks mate. I should have really thought about that. Anyway. Anyone got any suggestions?

Hi everyone! I'm pretty much finished my super XP CD (well except for removing unnecessary windows hotfixes) so could anyone look over my batch files, winnt.sif etc. and make suggestions/corrections? This CD is done from the point of view that I'll install it on multiple PC's all with different hardware specs (I have a full legit version of Windows XP Pro corporate edition - as many installs as I like) Thanks in advance! batch.cmd CLS @echo off ECHO.

Hey there! Excellent work! I am a total newbie to this and have been attempting to follow the guide at http://www.MSFN.org/unattended/index.htm but I'm stuck. I have copied my CD contents (XP Pro Corporate ) to a Folder called XPCD on the C Drive and have created winnt.sif and moved it to the I386 folder but I now need to edit this. How do I do this? (I mean how do I actually get into the notepad editing thing so that I can add edit etc entries?) Please help me. Daniel
