Thx. I think if I remember correctly, let's say when you do a dual boot of 98 and xp.....if your running in 98 and you start the xp install from with in 98, and instead of choosing upgrade you choose "New Install" one of the options is to A)Choose the dir you want xp installed to & B)Copy the installation files to the harddrive. So thats why I thought there might be a option to do the same in a unattended install
