Well that's the point- so he can use this XP CD to set up his computer(s) (each with their own keys) and not have to use a separate CD for each. He is also on dialup so having SP2 and hotfixes and drivers integrated will really make things easier for him and speed things up. It's not really about the unattended aspect of the CD, but moreso for these updates. So deleting the entire [userdata] section will prompt the user for a key and name, etc. when it is set up? Ruahrc

Thanks for the answer! Do I need to put two quotes in it still or just nothing? For example: ProductKey = "" ProductKey= Ruahrc

I recently made an unattended setup CD with the latest SP2, updates, drivers, and everything like that when I last set up my PC in April. I even created up a WINNT.sif file which included my XP CD key and username, etc- so that the setup would be completely unattended. I want to burn a new XP Setup CD for my dad- but want to remove my XP CD-key and name from the CD so he can use his. I want to leave it blank too so that he will be able to use the same CD with all theh updates, etc. already installed on multiple machines. Is this merely a matter of erasing the CD-key from the WINNT.sif file? I copied all the contents of my XP Setup CD to my hard drive and edited the WINNT.sif file for a friend, so I know how to create a new bootable image and burn the iso and everything... but when I did it for my friend he put his own CD key and username into the .sif file. What I want to do now is make it completely blank. Could someone let me know if this would work? Just erasing those certain entries in the winnt.sif file? Here is a copy of my winnt.sif file (personal info removed of course)... just want to make sure it works! --------------------------------------------------------- ; ; Generated by nLite 0.99.9 beta ; [Data] Autopartition = 0 MsDosInitiated = 0 UnattendedInstall = Yes [unattended] UnattendMode = FullUnattended UnattendSwitch = Yes OemPreinstall = Yes OemSkipEula = Yes FileSystem = * WaitForReboot = No NoWaitAfterTextMode = 1 NoWaitAfterGUIMode = 1 TargetPath = Windows Hibernation = No [Display] Xresolution = 1024 Yresolution = 768 BitsPerPel = 32 Vrefresh = 75 [systemRestore] MaximumDataStorePercentOfDisk = 10 [GuiUnattended] AutoLogon = Yes AdminPassword = * TimeZone = 04 OEMSkipRegional = 1 OemSkipWelcome = 1 [shell] DefaultThemesOff = Yes DefaultStartPanelOff = Yes [Components] [userData] ProductKey = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" <--Can I just make these fields empty or have a * in them?
