****! I just re-read Gosh's thread. I have to put winnt.sif in the BOOT folder... Not in the i386 one... Stupid me... EDIT: Arggggh! Still the same message... Now I'm sooooo confuse... EDIT 2: Nevermind... I rebuilt the thing with CDImage and now everything's ok... Jesus! I'm learning the hard way...

Ok! I slipstreamed the rollup, tried it and everything worked like a charm. Then I did Gosh trick to reduce the size of the cd. Once again, everything went peachy. Finally, I put back my previous $oem$ folder and the remaining hotfixes, edited my batch files, but when I try to boot up, I get the following: CDBOOT: Couldn't find NTLDR Any suggestions?

I have a couple of quick questions to ask. Btw, huge thx to Aaron and Gosh for those tutorials. Even a noob like me was able to make a unattended XP cd... Wich is quite remarkable since I never did a batch file in my life before that... Ok! Here goes: I just slipstreamed the new rollup like Aaron showed and it's working a-1. Now, I would like to do the "slimfast" trick on my cd and then add the other hotfixes and some appz. I would like to know if I proceed like this (just to be sure): 1) Reduce the size of my "new" rollup CD with Gosh method. 2) Then make a $oem$ folder with some other hotfixes and appz, creating a new winnt.sif file in the process, but without touching the dosnet.inf this time. Is this correct? Thx!

Thx again... I'm done with questions now... LOL! Huge thx....

Ok! One last thing (I know I'm asking a lot), I was wondering if it's possible to turn off the Welcome screen when XP first launch. You know, where they ask if you want to activate your copy and your name, etc. Btw, thx A LOT for the fast reply. I owe you one... or two...

I have this: @rem SetupMgrTag @echo off rem rem This is a SAMPLE batch script generated by Setup Manager. rem If this script is moved from the location where it was generated, it may have to be modified. rem set AnswerFile=.\unattend.txt set SetupFiles=E:\i386 E:\i386\winnt32 /s:%SetupFiles% /unattend:%AnswerFile% /copysource:lang Btw, I did an install with the oempreinstall turned on to yes and it worked great. Thanks so much...

Thx man! I'll give it another try. Btw, I did read that Important note but I tought it was only to install the extras silently. My english is not that good when it comes to such nuances. Anyway, thx a lot. Btw, is my unattend.bat file at the right place?

First I would like to say hi to everybody. This tutorial is quite great actually. But I do have one problem. When it's time to install the extras it doesn't work. It says it doesn't find my "applications.cmd" and "applications.cmd" on C:. I don't know why it looks on c: for them. I must have missed something in the tutorial, even tho I read it about 10 times now. In my $oem$ --> $1 --> I have the 2 following folders: DRIVERS and INSTALL. In the INSTALL folder, I have 4 directory + the following: applications.cmd, main_batch.cmd, services.reg and unattended.bat. Maybe the last one isn't in the right place? Here's my Winnt.sif code: ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=1 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" [Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=No TargetPath=\WINDOWS DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\Videocard;Drivers\USB2\Drivers;Drivers\Ecran" [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=35 OemSkipWelcome=1 [UserData] ProductKey=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX FullName="XXXXXXXXX" OrgName="" ComputerName=Nasty [Display] BitsPerPel=32 Xresolution=1024 YResolution=768 Vrefresh=120 [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 SystemLocale=00001009 UserLocale=00001009 InputLocale=0c0c:00011009 [Identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=No [NetAdapters] Adapter1=params.Adapter1 [params.Adapter1] INFID=* [NetClients] MS_MSClient=params.MS_MSClient [NetServices] MS_SERVER=params.MS_SERVER [NetProtocols] MS_TCPIP=params.MS_TCPIP [params.MS_TCPIP] DNS=Yes UseDomainNameDevolution=No EnableLMHosts=Yes AdapterSections=params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1 [params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1] SpecificTo=Adapter1 DHCP=Yes WINS=No NetBIOSOptions=0 [Components] msmsgs=off msnexplr=off minesweeper=off pinball=off zonegames=off [GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\main_batch.cmd %systemdrive%\install\applications.cmd Any help would be greatly appreciated...
