Tripredacus Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Yesterday we have gotten in an order of 3 machines that the customer wants to have XP Pro SP2 loaded onto them. We normally use a CD and a Distribution Share to install XP. These machines do not have CD Drives, or CD Drive support, and will not detect a USB CD Drive. While we may still have the option of installing XP via a USB Key, there is still another option which would be more beneficial to us in the future.We are also battling with the fact that we cannot reference the winbom.ini from the WinPE 2.0 to do an unattended install of XP from PXE similar to how we can do that with Vista. If anyone has any info on this instead, it may help. First let me tell you what I did.I started the install of XP on ANOTHER computer (my test computer). It formats the drive, downloads the CFGSET and then copies the Source files to the drive. The computer reboots and enters textmode. After that is finished, I turned the computer off. I then hooked it up to my test WDS and uploaded the drive image. I drop the image to the target machine, and reboot, and Setup starts and fails at the x7b error meaning the MassStorage driver is wrong.I have mounted the WIM but do not know how to put more drivers into it. Any ideas?
