Hi, i did a complete new unattended DVD and it worked like a charm. Seemes tio be my Version i made with vLite that causes the trouble with the unattended.xml file. Yeah really nice guide here, thnx for this.

Hi, i have probably named it autounattend.xml just wrote it wrong in the post but ill check. I havent tried the source folder version yet, will do that tonight. Ill let you know asap if that works. Im testing with a burned dvd and a real pc <-- old fashioned but more fualt resistant @Yager ill try your config file and see if i have something wrong in mine. Thnx for the quick answers.

Hi, i followed your guidelines and started the install. It still asks for the Serial number as if it couldnt find the Unattended.xml file. I tried it on cd and on usb stick. I checked the tutorial and my dvd twice and it seems allright any ideas why ?

Hi, as far as i searched for that a long time ago and as far as i know theres no way to do that. You can let XP Installation format the HD but then it takes the WHOLE HD and does 1 C: Partition.... correct me if im wrong

Man now he removed the serial and you post it again.......pretty useless to post it in quotes... Could any admin take that out of that post?

Thnx a lot dark, thats what i needed ) Cheers

Hi Guys, i just integrated all Post SP2 Hotfixes with NLite. Is there a way to see what hotfixes are installed in my XP Pro when i install XP with that Nlite CD? I can just see a few hotfixes, not all... even with [hotfix.exe] /l i only get a few hotfixes listed. After i install them from my hotfix CD they are all there. I just want to be sure that all hotfixes are installed without using the Windows Update Tool. Cheers

Heyas, is there a way to include the serial number to change at this point? and maybe a Registration set to integrate at this point. If that would work i would be set with just one cd )

I think you can copy your files to the personal folder. If you copy them directly with your install windows does another profile with a User."Group or Domain name" profile name. If you copy the files at the startup after the install reboot it works.

Heyas, just create a .....$OEM$\$1\INSTALL Folder and they will be copied to your windows partition. The name of the folder is free configurable, but without folder all your installation files and folders will be copied to the root of your windows partition. I myself did this with my AIOCD and it works perfect. Use ..$OEM$\$$\ for files you want to copy into the windows folder and $OEM$\$DOCS\ for files you want to have in your documents and settings folder.

Heyas, it does with my Boot CD..... The message:"Press Any key to boot from CD " always appears before my boot menu appears. ???? Thought that was the default on any boot cd....

Hi, you gotta format the first partition by hand. That means in the setup menu. The partitioning in winnt.sif is only per physical disk afaik. Put the license number from your OEM Version in winnt.sif and it will install over your preinstalled version. Best way is to format the partition where windows is installed and do a clean new install cheers

Ahh thnx a lot Chunkdog.

Heyas, could anyone of you explain what purpose CurrentControlset, ControlSet001, etc have in Registry? Just curious about that. Thnx in advance. AirMR

Hi, my Ghost 2003 Boot CD works fine, so its not the "cataloug" feature. I packed the Boot Floppy into an image and refer to that image with diskemu. Works like a charm

Heyas, Dunno if this ist what you want to achieve, but i will try to explain my way of having different $OEM$ Paths. I use a new winnt.sif for every PC with different Drivers, etc. I have a winnt.sif for my first, my second PC with different OEMFilesPaths. I use another winnt.sif for a clean XP Install without third party drivers. My DISKEMU.cmd main part looks like this: print print ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ print XP BOOT CD print print ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ print F1=Help print print 1) WINXP PRO MR SP1 UA (K7S5A/SBLive/Detonator 5214/AT2500TX NIC) print 2) WINXP PRO MR SP1 UA FLAT (K7S5A/SBLive/Detonator 5214/AT2500TX NIC) print 3) WINXP PRO MR2 SP1 UA (KK7VTA3/AC97/Detonator 5214/Compex NIC) print print 4) WINXP PRO SP1 Standard Unattended print 5) WINXP PRO SP1 Standard Unattended FLAT !! print 6) WINXP PRO SP1 Standard print print print 9) Windows 98 Bootdisk print b) Ghost Boot CD MR print c) Ghost Boot CD MR2 print print g) Ghost Tools print q) Quit to command prompt print r) Reboot print print Esc) Boot first harddisk print print Hit the key of choice: :mainkey ; timeout is 30 seconds, default key is escape getkey 30 esc onkey 1 run XPP1.DAT onkey 2 run XPF1.DAT onkey 3 run XPP2.DAT onkey 4 run XPP3.DAT onkey 5 run XPF3.DAT onkey 6 run XPP4.DAT onkey 9 run 98SE.ima onkey b run gmr.IMA onkey c run gmr2.IMA onkey g goto ghost onkey x goto dev onkey q quit onkey r reboot onkey f1 goto help onkey esc boot 80 I dunno if this goal can be achieved more easily, but this works fine for me, and you can easily change the diskemu.cmd to add more different driver paths. As far as i know the installation only parses the oemfilespath included in the winnt.sif. If not, my whole typing work for these configurations was just a waste of time

think i found the reason. I slipstreamed a SP1 XP..... had 3 files in the root directory: win51ip win51ip.SP1 win51ip.SP2 after i took a non slipstreamed xp version and slipstreamed Sp2 it worked.

Hi, my slipstreamed xp pro unattended says after booting that it needs a full xp pro install CD to proofe if this update can be applied...????!!!!! Any suggestions ?? Thnx in advance

Heyas, i just updated my multiboot cd ( SP1 different XP Pro Install options, worked perfect) with slipstreamed SP2. The funny thing is, that i get caught in a loop displaying me my Boot Menu other and other again..... Does anybody have an idea why this happens? Thnx a lot

msgina.dll and explorer.exe as far as i know. Dunno which one is for "shut down" and which for "log off"

Its only one file: winntbbu.dll. Search for it here in the unattended section. I cant provide a download space, otherwise i would enable it for download.

just downloaded new version and saw the Syntax Great Work Benjamin.

HI Benjamin, im just trying to rename a PC with the logged in User Account. I cant get the /UseAdmin Switch to work. Is it disabled in 2.0 ?

Use: $OEM$\1$\install

This doesnt work under classic control panel. Is there any way NOT to use the "new" control panel in XP and add a link to it ???
