Hi, I have been working long on this problem. We are starting setup under DOS and have the files precopied to c:. My way to do it works under w2k3 but not under XP. I will show you my config under w2k3 and maybe you´ll see why this does not work with XP? The bluescreen shows right after the installation says: starting windows (so right at the beginning after F6 / F2). This is my unattended.txt: ___________________________________ [Data] MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" [unattended] OEMSkipEula=yes TargetPath = \WIN2k3 OemPreinstall=Yes FileSystem = ConvertNTFS KeyboardLayout = "Deutsch (Deutschland)" ExtendOEMPartition = 1 UnattendMode = FullUnattended DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore OemPnPDriversPath="drivers\Video;drivers\Video2;Drivers\Sound;Drivers\Lan;Drivers\Lan1;Drivers\Other" UnattendSwitch=yes [OEM_Ads] Banner= "ff" ;Background = ;Logo = [LicenseFilePrintData] AutoMode=PerServer AutoUsers=20 [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword = * EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipWelcome = 1 OEMSkipRegional = 1 TimeZone = 110 PROFILESDIR = "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen" [MassStorageDrivers] "Windows Promise FastTrak TX2200/TX4200/579 Controller" = "OEM" "Windows Promise FastTrak TX2300/TX4300/779 Controller" = "OEM" [OEMBootFiles] FTSATA2.sys FTSATA2.inf FTSATA2.cat Txtsetup.oem __________________________ Here comes my textsetup.oem: _____________________________ [Disks] d1 = "Promise FastTrak 571/519/579/771/719/779 Driver Diskette", ftsata2, \ [Defaults] scsi = ftsata2 [scsi] ftsata2 = "Windows Promise FastTrak TX2200/TX4200/579 Controller", ftsata2 ftsata2 = "Windows Promise FastTrak TX2300/TX4300/779 Controller", ftsata2 [Files.scsi.ftsata2] driver = d1, ftsata2.sys, ftsata2 inf = d1, ftsata2.inf catalog= d1, ftsata2.cat [HardwareIds.scsi.ftsata2] id="PCI\VEN_105A", "ftsata2" [Config.ftsata2] value = "", Tag, REG_DWORD, 1 ___________________________________ the txtsetup.oem is located at: \I386\$oem$\TEXTMODE There are also the following files to be found: FTSATA2.sys FTSATA2.inf FTSATA2.cat Txtsetup.oem DontGo.sys ftsata2 ftutil2.dll No other files changed. My commandline for starting setup is: c:\install\i386\Winnt.exe /u:c:\unattend.txt /s:c:\install\i386 As said before, this works under w2k3 but not with XP Please any ideas :-) Thanks, Clemens
