ok ive read so many things about registry tweaks, im not even sure where to begin. please any guidance would help. if there is a nice laid out tutorial i would also appreciate that. this is what i have so far: 1. All my registry tweaks are in a file called RegTweaks.reg, and I've placed this file in $OEM$. Also, just to clarify, RegTweaks.reg does begin with Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 2. I have CMDLINES.txt also in my $OEM$ folder, with the following: [COMMANDS] "REGEDIT /S RegTweaks.reg" 3. I have winnt.sif in my I386 folder: ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" AutomaticUpdates="Yes" [Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS FileSystem=* KeyboardLayout="US" Hibernation=Yes [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword="xxxxxxxxx" EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=20 OemSkipWelcome=1 [UserData] ProductKey=xxxxxxxxxxx FullName="JoeyIII" OrgName="" ComputerName=JOEYIII [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 Language=00000409 [Identification] JoinWorkgroup=MSHOME [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes [Branding] BrandIEUsingUnattended=Yes [Proxy] Proxy_Enable=0 Use_Same_Proxy=0 [URL] Home_Page=http://www.google.com Search_Page=http://www.google.com [Components] msmsgs=off msnexplr=off Questions: 1. do I need anything for [GUIRUNONCE], or any batch file? 2. do i need to split up my RegTweaks.reg into HKLM and HKCU files (i know this changes things alot)? Thanks in advance. Feel free to message me or let me know if you need any clarification.

thanks alot that did it. i made a new IDE virtual disk. kind of annoying that it defaults to SCSI. anyways, thanks alot, windows is installing now so we'll see how all of that goes.

Im trying to test my .iso i created following the steps from this website. im using vmware workstation to do this. however, this is the first screen that pops up when windows setup begins: Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer. Make sure any hard disk drives are powered on and properly connected to your computer, and that any disk-related hardware configuration is correct. This may involve running a manufacturer-supplied diagnostic or setup program. Setup cannot continue. To quit setup, press F3. I know this is usually associated with raid/sata, but im almost positive my hard drive isnt. I have a gateway m250 laptop, 80 gig hdd, 1gb ram, 1.73MHz Pentium M. Can anyone let me know if they have any ideas? Here is my winnt.sif file too: ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutomaticUpdates=1 AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" [unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=No TargetPath=\WINDOWS FileSystem=* KeyboardLayout="US" Hibernation=Yes [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword="XXXXXXX" EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=20 OemSkipWelcome=1 [userData] ProductKey=XXXXXXXXXXXXXX FullName="JoeyIII" OrgName="" ComputerName=JOEYIII [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 Language=00000409 [identification] JoinWorkgroup=MSHOME [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes [branding] BrandIEUsingUnattended=Yes [Proxy] Proxy_Enable=0 Use_Same_Proxy=0 Home_Page=http://www.google.com Search_Page=http://www.google.com [Components] Media_utopia = On msmsgs=off msnexplr=off
