Please write it again, but in different words, but use capital letters, comma's, periods, et cetera, to make it readable.
October 18, 200718 yr By inserting my own punctuation i assume you meant thisI have a legitimate version of windows xp pro unattended version that requires no serial key, yet it keeps asking for one when i go to install it. Can it only be installed from boot up or can it be installed through windows?Unattended cds work from boot-up, not from withing windows. If installing from within windows (like an upgrade etc) the cd will still work but wont install unattended, it will prompt you for all the info it needs.

If installing from within windows (like an upgrade etc) the cd will still work but wont install unattended, it will prompt you for all the info it needs.... unless you start the installation file and supply additional parameters to point to the unattended file. You could include a batch script in your I386 folder which runs the installation file and the right parameters for you, which you could then launch instead of the normal setup file.
October 18, 200718 yr It is possible you have an OEM unattended CD. If they work like the ones we make here, it will prompt for the COA (serial number) if the machine's configuration or BIOS settings do not match the required information in the oemsetup.inf.
