[Unpartitioned space]

Any1 knows why Windows automaticly leaves 8mb of unpartitioned space during install?

Its left for converting to a dynamic disc.

[1hour 4 formating a 40GB HDD]

Installed Win2k on my notebook. And it took 1hour to complete it.

If I recall correctly that is not normal. And the HDD is rated at 4300RPM's.

btw. I tried creating and formating the partition with Partition Magic 8 first but Win2k installation program just refused it and said the partition was damaged and corrupted... So my only other option was to wait... wait.... wait.??

btw. The Win2k CD was nLited

Sounds like it could be a driver issue. Did windows actually install or no?

[Applying a Default Theme]

I saw that but I'm not using a .theme file im using a .msstyles file. Will it matter?

[Applying a Default Theme]

How do I assign a theme to be apply'd after the unattended setup is done.

What I mean is, after the unattended setup is done, and the PC restarts and loads windows, I want a certain theme to already be applied instead of the default Luna theme.

Specificaly this one:

[RUN WPI FROM CD]

My WPI starts up again, thenx for your help mate !

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

No problem

[RUN WPI FROM CD]

If you need anymore help you can message me on AIM.. Its in my profile

[reactivate Configuration-Button]

Go to your WpiScripts directory, then open the useroptions.js file with notepad and change var var showOptBtn=false; to say var showOptBtn=true;

[RUN WPI FROM CD]

Ok...Heres what I did. I put the WPI.cmd file in the $OEM$\$1\Install\wpi\ folder so it copies that to the hard drive.

Under GUI run once thing, just leave that to the default:

[GuiRunOnce]

%systemdrive%\install\wpi\wpi.cmd

When it calls the WPI.cmd, the CMD file searches for the CD drive that has WPI on it. Here is my WPI.cmd file:

****** Where it says BoXP.txt , MAKE A File on your XP CD like something.txt and change the below to match that, the CD has to have a file on it for it to search for *********

@ECHO OFF

REM Example, how to look for CDROM-drive. Must have a file to identify in its root (like WIN51 or WPI.ico).
for %%i in (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if exist %%i:\BoXP.txt set CDROM=%%i:
echo Found CD-Rom as drive %CDROM%

REM Determine the WPI startup path. 
REM if wpi should run off the cd the replace %~dp0 with %cdrom%.
set wpipath=%CDROM%\wpi

REM Hide this command window.
"%wpipath%\common\cmdow.exe" @ /hid

REM Font installation - the smooth and customizable way.
start /wait %wpipath%\common\fonts\fontinstaller.exe

REM Special registry tweak needed.
regedit /s "%wpipath%\common\wpi.reg"

REM Make WPI directory the current directory.
for /f "delims=: tokens=1" %%i in ("%wpipath%") do %%i:
cd "%wpipath%"

REM Start WPI and wait for its end
start /wait WPI.hta

REM Cleaning up the desktop.
del /s/q "%userprofile%\desktop\*.lnk"

REM Confirming a reboot...
echo Dim WshShell, oExec>%tmp%\WPI.vbs
echo Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")>>%tmp%\WPI.vbs
echo answer = Msgbox(" Installation has finished! Should I REBOOT now? ",VBYesNo,"BoXP Post Install")>>%tmp%\WPI.vbs
echo if answer = 6 then>>%tmp%\WPI.vbs
echo oExec = WshShell.Run("SHUTDOWN -r -t 5", 1, true)>>%tmp%\WPI.vbs
echo end if>>%tmp%\WPI.vbs
echo set WshShell = nothing>>%tmp%\WPI.vbs
%tmp%\WPI.vbs
del /q %tmp%\WPI.vbs

exit

:end

What this will do is, it will find the RIGHT CDROM drive, the one with WPI on it, and then it will run WPI from that. If you use my WPI.cmd file above, it will run wpi from %CDROM%\wpi . Then if you have your programs set to install from %CDROM%\Install just put your programs in a folder named Install on the cd.

If you do the above, it will work Good luck
