How to create a Unattended WinXP CD with a Norton ghost restore CD

[wongrod]

Hello everyone, I am a new comer and fine this topic very interesting and all the tips are very useful.

I would like to try it on my PC but I what I have is a restore CD with Norton Ghost file sine my compare is from a parallel inport retailer and so there is no original restore CD.

So it is possible to create a Unattended WinXP CD from the ghost or directly from system folder on my hard disk?

Thank you very much for your help in advance and looking forward to hearing from you soon.

You should go in steps:

1) re-create a "normal" XP install CD from the files you have

2) from the CD in point 1) above create an unattended install

For re-creating a XP CD, you might want to read these threads and given links:

Then you should (manually, or through nlite or other app) slipstream service pack 2 and integrate your specific drivers (if any).

Once such a Cd is tested and found to be working, you can go on slipstreaming further updates and start the unattended.
