Cool - Thanks Aaronxp

I am a newbie with Cmdlines.txt. Where do you place them to execute as above, and do I need to reference it anywhere? This seemed an ideal place to ask as its just what I need

Thanks - gotta give it a go just in case :-)

Thanks numinous - now removed :-) Also: Found a difference with mine and yours though. Under DATA mine has " " around the end. ie: yours looks: [Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated=0 UnattendedInstall=Yes mine is: [Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" Does this cock it up??? What do others have?

****t !! I havent ! The log file says exactly the same as the screenshot. Nothing further to assist? I am so confused. Can some one post me their [data] lines in winnt.sif please? thanks Heres my winnt.sif - can you see any errors? [Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" [Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS Repartition=No UnattendSwitch="no" WaitForReboot="No" DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=No OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=085 OemSkipWelcome=0 ProfilesDir="%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\" [Display] BitsPerPel=32 XResolution=1024 YResolution=768 Vrefresh=70 [UserData] ProductKey=removed FullName=Home OrgName=User ComputerName=* [TapiLocation] CountryCode=44 Dialing=Tone [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 Language=00000809 [Identification] JoinWorkgroup=MSHOME [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes [Componants] msmsgs=off msnexplr=off media_clips=off Accessopt=off AutoUpdate=off templates=off fax=off Clipbook=off hypertrm=off rec=off pinball=off freecell=off minesweeper=off solitaire=off spider=off hearts=off zonegames=off [GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\main_batch.cmd %systemdrive%\install\hotfixes\hotfixes1.cmd %systemdrive%\install\hotfixes\hotfixes2.cmd %systemdrive%\install\hotfixes\hotfixes3.cmd %systemdrive%\install\applications.cmd

Can you believe it!!! In case anybody else is clumsy enough to copy and paste without checking. This is MS answer: SYMPTOMS When Windows 2000 Setup boots into GUI mode, you may receive the following error message: Fatal Error: An error has been encountered that prevents setup from continuing. Internal Setup data structures are corrupted (phase 0). CAUSE This error message can occur if you are performing an unattended installation of Windows 2000 using a CD-ROM boot and there is a floppy disk containing an unattended Setup file that has been renamed to Winnt.sif in drive A. The error message occurs if the Winnt.sif file is missing the [Data] section of the file, or if some of the entries in the [Data] section are missing. RESOLUTION To resolve this issue, edit the Winnt.sif file and place the appropriate entries in the [Data] section. For additional information about the [Data] section, please click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 216258 How to Perform Unattended Windows 2000 Installation from CD-ROM I had speech marks on 2 parts as shown - this caused th error! [Data] Autopartition=0 MsDosInititated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes"

It seems like one thing after another getting this whole thing sorted. Can anybody throw any light on the screenshot error please?

HA!! Would you believe it! A case of cant see the wood for trees!! I had the : 1. win51 2. WIN51IP 3. win51ip.SP1 files missing !!!!! guess what - works a treat now doh!! Thanks gents

Just to make you feel better, you are not alone. Mine boms out with VPC once all files are copied and it reboots to complete the install. Gives a fatal error ? Am working on it :-)

I have looked at the root of my XP cd with SP1 slipstreamed and i had the following: 1. $0em$ 2. I386 3. Autorun.inf 4. Setup.exe I am racking the grey matter here but shouldnt there be a couple of other files in the cd root??? could this be it?

I am a novice at this type of work and have spent hours setting up my .cmd files etc etc. The hotfix .cmd all work great. I have read the whole **** forum to ensure I get things right. Wasted disk after disk (untill I had a blonde moment and used CDRW!!) So burnt the disk with a blank XP.iso (off this site) after adding my files. Nice clean drive, formatted.. then the issue begins! The system boots - finds my cd - boots from CD - reassuring blue background with `select to install 3rd party raid etc..` THEN!!! "Please put the Windows XP service pack 1 CD in drive A" WHAT!!!! It has just been reading the CD so how can this be? My winnt.sif: ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" [Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS WaitForReboot="No" DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=85 OemSkipWelcome=1 [UserData] ProductKey=ooooppppsss FullName="Home" OrgName="User" ComputerName=* [Display] Vrefresh=72 [TapiLocation] CountryCode=44 [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 SystemLocale=00000809 UserLocale=00000809 InputLocale=0809:00000809 [Branding] BrandIEUsingUnattended=Yes [URL] Home_Page=http://www.google.co.uk [Proxy] Proxy_Enable=0 Use_Same_Proxy=1 [Identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes [Components] msnexplr=off freecell=off hearts=off minesweeper=off pinball=off solitaire=off spider=off zonegames=off [GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\main_batch.cmd %systemdrive%\install\hotfixes\hotfixes1.cmd %systemdrive%\install\hotfixes\hotfixes2.cmd %systemdrive%\install\hotfixes\hotfixes3.cmd %systemdrive%\install\applications.cmd Any answers please

Thanks - just tested again with : start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Sygate\pspf1.exe /-s -f1 This works virtually to the end. It stops on a final screen asking to finish? How do I accept this... if this answer is here then its sorted :-) cheers

I have tried Sygate firewall with the -r switch as suggested in this thread. It fails and asks for the normal manual input Does anyone else know the full line I need for this many thanks

Data002 - Got all excited for a moment then if I find it in th emean time will post

Data002 Aggghh ... pass on the goodies I have been trying to do Norton 2004 can you post your commands please :-) :-)

whats the name of the program :-)

I would like to do the same ie: auto format. I have looked on the link you mentioned.. at lengh as it was my main inspiration. It doesnt mention formating, only partioning. If they are fine and as required how can we kick in a quick format before anything else occurs ? many thanks

Thanks for prompt replies. I tried both methods without success. At command prompt it appeared okay.. it said `are you sure y/n` selct yes and no errors reported back. However in windows still there ? Well confused

MS say the below - however mine WONT delete?? can anyone help.. I get `access denied` I am logged in as admin? The Windows XP SP1 Installation Temporary Files Folder This folder is not required after you install the service pack, and you can safely delete this folder. When you install Windows XP SP1, this temporary folder is created on the volume that has the most free space. The folder name contains 20 random characters, and is not always created on the same volume as the Windows folder. For example, this temporary folder may have the following name: 9470bb12e8a4f3447657236478e41c5 This folder is automatically deleted by Windows XP after you install the service pack. However, if the folder is not automatically deleted by Windows XP, you can safely delete this folder.
