Help For Those That Need IT!

Hi Guys,

I managed to get an OEM installation working after MANY hours! using the Multi-DVD method and PDF by "flyakite"

I tested this Using Virtual PC 2004

First Of the construction of the DVD should look like this....

$:\ROOT

$:\ROOT\CDSH

$:\ROOT\SETUP

$:\ROOT\SETUP\WINXPPRO

$:\ROOT\SETUP\WINXPPRO\I386

$:\ROOT\SETUP\WINXPPRO\$OEM$

$:\ROOT\PRO1

Now as for all the files these should be something like this....

TXTSETUP.SIF - IN PRO1 DIR ONLY - DELETE ALL OTHERS (i386)

$:\ROOT\PRO1\TXTSETUP.SIF

SETUPLDR.BIN - IN PRO1 DIR ONLY - DELETE ALL OTHERS (i386)

$:\ROOT\PRO1\SETUPLDR.BIN

WINNT.SIF - IN PRO1 DIR ONLY - DELETE ALL OTHERS (i386)

$:\ROOT\PRO1\WINNT.SIF

PRO1.DAT - IN ROOT DIR ONLY - DELETE ALL OTHERS

$:\ROOT\PRO1.DAT

DELETE ALL :-

TXTSETUP.SI_

SETUPLDR.BI_

SETUPLDR.BAK

Belive I found these in the PRO1 DIR After extracting the boot disks.

MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE EDITED THE "SETUPLDR.BIN"

$:\ROOT\PRO1\SETUPLDR.BIN

With UltraEdit 32 TO MAKE IT SAY "PRO1" Instead of "i386" and make sure you have done this 4 times!

MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE EDITED THE "TXTSETUP.SIF"

$:\ROOT\PRO1\TXTSETUP.SIF

With NOTEPAD TO MAKE IT SAY "\SETUP\WINXPPRO\" Instead of "\" and make sure you included all "\" 's as you see here "\SETUP\WINXPPRO\" - the very end "\".

MAKE SURE THAT THE PRO1.DAT file "PRO1.DAT"

$:\ROOT\PRO1.DAT

Has "SETUPLDR.BINBOOTFIX.BINPRO1" In the HEXCODE - search for it using

UltraEdit 32

ALSO TO GET RID OF THE EULA AND MAKE SURE THAT IT COPYS THE $OEM$ folder over then edit the "winnt.sif" to include

[Data]

UnattendedInstall="Yes"

[unattended]

Repartition="No"

UnattendMode="FullUnattended"

OemSkipEula="Yes"

TargetPath=\Windows

OemPreinstall="Yes"

UnattendSwitch="Yes"

Well I Think I have covered it all. These are everything that I have done to Make sure that my copy was working and after doing them all it was!

So Good Luck!!
