Newbie needs help

[ANON837]

I'm still trying to work my way around Vista and WSIM. I created an image from scratch and syspreped it without a sysprep.xml files. I would like to attach an unattend xml to it to automate the next install. I have been trying without success to automate installs with custom wims and it just hangs at the screen with the cursor and "please wait". I wouldl ike to know how would you attach the unattend.xml to a particular wim? Or do you drop it somewhere on the soon-to-be-imaged drive after you diskpart it?
