$oem$ folder structure not copied during install

[Vanbursta]

Can someone please help me, I need to do a repair install (rather than a new install) of Windows XP Pro, the install goes fine until XP setup reaches the part where it calls the start.cmd (see the [GuiRunOnce] section of winnt.sif below), and I then get an error that the start.cmd file cannot be found, I have checked it and xp isn't copying the $OEM$ folder structure to the C: destination folder.

The $OEM$ folder is parallel to the i386 folder (IE on the root of the CD) and I have attached a copy of my winnt.sif file below. I can either get the reapir option to work OR I can get the $OEM$ folder to copy to the hard drive, but I cannot get both to work at once, someone mentioned a tweak OEM setting in Nlite but I can't find it, please help if you can as I have been trying for 3 days now without success!!

Also it shows the welcome screen even though I have asked it not to!!

Many thanks for your help

For the repair option to be available, the [unattended] section has to be removed. You cant do both.

1. I don`t know what this is good for - I don`t use this, my $OEM$ is copied without that:

[Unattended]
OEMFilesPath=.\$OEM$

2. There`s no need to remove the Unattended-Section.

While booting from CD there`s a point you could press F6 - press F10 instead.

F10 just gives you the recovery console

We had another discussion about that: http://www.msfn.org/board/wondering-do-rep...sc-t136061.html

After reading it again I think I was wrong, -X- is right - only "Recovery Console" by pressing F10.

I never use this, so my information was probably wrong, I`m sorry.

I have the same problem i cant figure it out nether

[Guest]

The solution was given. Perhaps explain your problem to see if in fact it is the same.

If you have a structure like this :

$OEM$\Samsung\Folder\Files.files , than I think that the files will not be copied ...

Please try the folowing:

$OEM$\$1\Samsung\Folder\Files.files , after windows installation you will have :

C:\Samsung\Folder\Files.files or

%systemdrive%\Samsung\Folder\Files.files
