You need to create the file. People usually put it in the root of their install media, or you can put it on a USB key.

The first thing you should get is the WAIK, it has the XML builder and the help files to walk you through how to use it. Also, most of those topics are mirrored on Technet.

WAIK info is here.

General examples and questions about making the XML is here:

many thanks i will try this Tripredacus,
