It's easy enough to understand. Most new guys take one look at the guide, think "I'm bored and I don't understand it" before they've read it and ask questions. Well I have an answer. Click Here Try reading again.

XP pro upgrade editions can upgrade from home without formatting.

Or cd %systemroot% DEL *.LOG /S DEL *.TMP /S EDIT I forgot you only wanted %systemroot% There is a command you can use with RD to del empty folders but I'm not sure. DEL *LOG*.TXT /S I'd recommend this for a clean install only. Some files don't end with .log, but have log in the name. See Yzöwl's post below.

I use unattendedswitch=yes and it works for me. Don't know if you need it though. Try removing all your xxxxxxx=Yes under [components] and see if it works and still installs them.

Yep, ctrlaltdel doesn't work for me twice.

Make a batch file for 32bit mode: CMDOW @ /HID cd %CURDIR% .\i386\winnt32.exe /Unattended[5]:[winnt.sif]It's something like that. Winnt32 doesn't read the answer file by default. put the batch in the root of your cd. This copies all neccessary files and reboots your pc after 5 seconds. If it doesn't work, try removing the [ ] brackets.

I meant the regfile, under Wallpaper=%WinDir%\Web\Wallpaper\Cobra computers.jpg I've tried variables in that but it didn't work, so i used reg add. I didn't say anything about it not working in winnt.sif...

It looks fine to me, (what is homenet anyway? just asking) so it must be your source. Sorry. Try removing stuff in nlite not from winnt.sif.

This is getting ridiculus... http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/4/ http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/33/ Or nlite! Read plz... Why do you need a cab of all hotfixes and drivers? It takes as long to integrate the cabs in nlite as the drivers and hotfixes anyway...

I find norton IS/antivirus 2006 VERY unstable. Try AVG free temporarily and see if that helps.

Or open cmd and type net localgroup Administrators xxxx /add And replace xxxx with username. Net user works for me when control panel doesn't.

I find regshot hard because it scatters dupe entries in the txt file and the old ones as well. Use installrite

Er... Vista Sounds.msi? I don't like overclocking, got a fine 3ghz dual-core cpu anyway!

Just open safe mode, only take a screen of the task manager process list (not the window bar, otherwise we'll know you're in safemode) and you win

Or use RVM update pack

Unlocker is for access denied and file is in use with another process!

Make sure this is in your winnt.sif [UserData] ProductKey=xxxxx-xxxxx-xx-x-x--x-xxx Or whatever your sn is

Put your stick in before it says installing drivers. Or to make things easier, for full unattended install, just before you boot from the cd. It wouldn't work after "installing drivers" because plug and play service isn't enabled until first boot.

Just open nlite and check if fax services is in there in the first place. Don't mod anything unless you want to. Can you post your winnt.sif? And take out your serial number. Most ppl forget...

If sp2 is slipstreamed then you can't uninstall it. But if you install it post sp0 or sp1, you can uninstall it. I get limited or no connectivity in virtual pc. But that's emulated wireless internet and only when I am downloading something while vpc is open.

Maybe there are errors in your windows installation. Or just IE, in which you could just reinstall sp2. Check your %systemroot%\Setuperr.log and see if there's anything there.

Or a norton ghost image.

It doesn't support environment variables in the registry - well not in that section anyway. So you might have to make a batch file that translates %WinDir% to the windows dir and some REG ADD commands. An easier way, use an inf file to add the reg file!

So, you downloaded a MCE XP iso did you?... Tut tut Did you remove network drivers in hardware support? Because nlite might have removed the support but not the entries in txtsetup.sif, hivesys.inf etc.

Try user profile hive cleanup. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en It's still good at speeding logoff/on up even if you don't have problems.
