Ok heres the steps ive taken maybe someone can tell me where i went wrong...

Started with source files from a Dell Royalty Disk (for activation reasons). Then used Nlite to update service pack to SP3 and to do my registry tweaks as well as remove unwanted items and make my unattended... Then Used DPs_BASE.exe to slipstream driver packs from DriverPacks.net. Then used makeiso to make the iso.

Threw it in VirtualBox and everything goes as plan except the Computer Name dialog comes up and has what i have in winnt.sif highlighted. So i have to manually press enter and then everything works like a charm...

Ive tried switching the comp name in winnt.sif to * without success. Has anyone ran into this problem? Is it because of VirtualBox or something else?

Below is my winnt.sif

The page that comes up has two options; computer name and admin password, and since you've only defined the computer name but not the admin password in your winnt.sif, then i'm guessing that this is the problem...

Try to add 'AdminPassword=*' (or whatever...) under [GuiUnattended]...

Posted without double checking... Will try to add the line and get back to you
