    cable questions

    in Hardware Hangout

    Posted

    That card should have come with a DVI to HDMI adapter. I would use that along with HDMI-HDMI 1.3a cable.

    Also, it should come with an S/PDIF audio cable that attachs to the spdif header on the motherboard(if one exists), thus making it possible to send sound across HDMI.

    WMP10 from SVCPACK

    in Application Installs

    Posted

    If a 3rd party app can do it, then I should be able to do it without that application. Lots of other people seem not to have a problem doing the way I specified above, so I don't understand why it doens't work.

    If I run the command after windows has installed there is no problem. So it seems to be just a problem with it in SVCPACK

    I have never been able to get WMP10 to install. Everything else here installs fine, just not Media Player. Even if it is first listed, it still doesn't install. I always have WMP9 that starts up. Why?

    ;Windows XP
    [Version] 
    Signature="$Windows NT$"
    MajorVersion=5
    MinorVersion=1

    hfnetchk download

    in HFSLIP

    Then this:

    C:\mbsacli.exe /xmlout /wa /nvc >C:\WU.TXT

    This downloads something but then fails with an error message saying that my computer is not on a server or something. At the second attempt, the error message displays immediately.

    mbsacli 2.0 requires that the Window Update agent 2.0 be installed. Other than that, you need the latest security update catalog (wsusscan.cab). Use the /nd switch to keep from downloading anything. 

    mbsacli /nd /nvc /wi /xmlout /catalog wsusscan.cab > scan.xml

    This will give me an xml report, but I can't do anything with it. The documentation says mbsacli has report switches, but I can't seem to use them: 1) you can't use them in conjunction with scanning switches, 2) I can't even run mbsacli without using the /xmlout switch

    AutoPartitioning not working

    in Multi-Boot CD/DVDs

    Posted · Edited by SnakeOiler

    OK, my bad - I was not explaining my problem thoroughly: the manual processing starts right at the beginning, as in my unattended file was not being read. Sure enough, I have it in the wrong directory. Fixed that and all the automation is now working.

    It still stops, though, when trying to format the partition. Still says disk is damaged, blah blah blah, install Windows on a different partition. :(

    Edit:

    I got it to work! My setup directory was called 'Windows XP Pro', so I tried removing the spaces from it, calling it 'WindowsXP_Pro'. Made the according change in txtsetup.sif, for the sourcepath: and viola! it worked.

    AutoPartitioning not working

    in Multi-Boot CD/DVDs

    Posted

    I have triple checked all my file changes and included my winnt.sif here. right now I am only testing out the XP install. When the install gets to the partitioning, everything becomes manual. then to top that off, when I walk through the process of deleting the partition and recreating it - it will not format it, saying the disk is damaged, etc. This is crap, because I have another unattended install (non multi-boot, only XP) that works beautifully on the same HDD. I don't know where to go.
