create a file called fixboot.reg paste the following text into it: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\vds\Alignment] @="Alignment Settings in Bytes" "Between4_8GB"=dword:00000000 "Between8_32GB"=dword:00000000 "GreaterThan32GB"=dword:00000000 "LessThan4GB"=dword:00000000 now run this command before doing any diskpart steps: reg import fixboot.reg this resolves disk alignment issue with winpe 2.x etc

go to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=43264 and down load the latest au client. you will be able to do a silent install

Hi superbikkel, ive done a little experimenting with winPE and i wish to remain using it for the same reasons as you. what im trying to do is replace the cmd on startup with an exe, actually its a flash based exe. i want to make an app in flash and use it to call the various tools that i use.

Have you tried VMware to test the ISO, i had this problem and was getting really frustrated. Found that the disks i was using were cheap and the cause of the problem. changed the disks and problem not happened since. Recommend testing with vmware

thanks for that, looks like what i missed. will test and let you know

[unattended] UnattendMode = FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS Repartition=No UnattendSwitch = Yes WaitForReboot=No this is a clip from my winnt.sif file. though just before installing windows starts i get a pop up box saying welcome to windows setup then click ok to continue. from there it continues in unattended mode any thoughts
