jaclaz Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Start by trying to use nLite.That is aimed towards 2k and XP , interesting suggestion. If I remember correctly, NT 4.00 used unattended.txt rather than winnt.sif:http://www.computing.net/answers/windows-n...m-cd/19543.htmlCheck this:http://web.archive.org/web/20040605031250/...e/wksStudy1.htm(courtesy of The Wayback Machine)And these:http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-...11-5027113.htmlhttp://www.microsoft.com/technet/archive/w...t/gdautset.mspxExplanation of allowed values and sample here:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/155197/en-usjaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have try my winnt.sif and I get a BSOD.so it is something wrong with it.and if I rename it to unattended.txt then it is not recognized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
