Speeding up install of 2k3

[sysadhater]

Hey there.

I'm using WinPE 2 to automate all of my installs, essentially I boot into PE 2.0 then using startnet.cmd I run a series of commands...

I'm trying to tweak that series of commands to make it as fast as possible, does anyone have any tips for installing windows 2003/XP as fast as possible?

Currently I am installing Windows 2003 via a network share like this z:\i386\winnt32.exe /unattend:z:\i386\unattend.sif

would it be faster to first copy it to the hard disk and then install it from C?

It doesn't really take that long, but squeezing any additional ticks out of the clock is always a good thing.

Thanks,

SYSAD
