Look at the beginners section especially finalizing the CD

there 's three downloads 2 versions of cdimage and 1 boot.img

It looks like your using a floppy bootimage..

[melfarra]

Thanks for the reply, but I would need more assistance to solve this matter.

Please give me the trick to let this test work.

Much appreciated

[jbm]

I'll assume you've creatred your source directory. which I refer to as source

Download climage.exe , boot.img and place them in windows

open a command window in the directory abouve your source directory.

and type the following command

CDIMAGE.EXE -l"source" -j1 -m -o -b"%SystemRoot%\Boot.img" "%~s1" "source.iso"

Or you can download Bootiso.zip by Yzöwl at

http://www.msfn.org/board/Click-Create-ISO...847#entry299847

whicj will let you create an iso by right clicking on a diorectory.

Thanks a ton (jbm); I have tried CDIMAGE.EXE and it works perfectly.

Well, I would share this issue too while the installation

1st: unpartitioned, the screen is asked to choose the unpartitioned drive and I won't this msg to appear (NTFS is my chosen). please assist

2nd: shutdown_error, where I got this msg which restart the machine (how to restart without waiting for 60 sec.). Please assist

Pictures are attached

The start.cmd file is attached

Your support is highly appreciated.

ECHO Restarting the PC in 1 minute... shutdown.exe -r -f -t 60 -c "Windows XP will now restart in 1 minute, this will give enough time for the shortcuts to update and for the shell to fully load before its ready to restart!" ECHO

Ummm have you even looked at "your" own code? Simply change the 60 to something else.

;SetupMgrTag
[Data]
	AutoPartition=0
	MsDosInitiated="0"
	UnattendedInstall="Yes"

[Unattended]
	FileSystem=*
	UnattendMode=FullUnattended
	OemSkipEula=Yes
	OemPreinstall=Yes
	UnattendSwitch=Yes
	DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
	TargetPath=\WINDOWS

change your winnt.sif to "FileSystem=ntfs" and change the tile of "autopartition=1"

[melfarra]

Thanks Kelsenellenelvian....

but my question about the 60 sec. shutdown... how to make silent shutdown without any popup msg... I won't bother myself in waiting...

Wanna very silent installation

Much apprecaited...

[melfarra]

MMMMMMMMMMMMMM :angrym: .........No more help about the above question.......

What is the best script for silent mode...??

[jbm]

There's no way that I know of to make shutdown.exe

not pop up that window.

[melfarra]

Hello TEAM,

I have done the changed advised by you as:

Change your winnt.sif to "FileSystem=ntfs" and change the tile of "autopartition=1"

But I still get the blue screen with unpartitioned, then screen is asked to choose the NTFS only because as above I have chosen FileSystem=ntfs).

Rest of installation is working properly with tested softwares successfully...

Please assist for the 1st installation level to avoid the Blue Screen....

Cheers!

[Kelsenellenelvian]

If you put it at 0 it will only popup for a split-sec. As for the other thing I will look into it in a sec.

[jbm]

Adding

[Unattended]
Repartition = Yes

to your winnt.sif will delete all partitions

pn the first drive and reformat the drive

as NTFS.

[Kelsenellenelvian]
