Aaron Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 You can go to this page: http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/finish.htm to grab CDImage. It comes with a boot image and a batch script to automate the ISO creation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AirMaleDFW Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 @ectavares: The only reason I could see that creating an ISO wouldn't work is if you didn't read the Readme.txt file and edit the file "ISO Creator for WinXP Pro.cmd" so it points to the correct directories.Now, there are many reasons why an ISO won't work after you make it... but for you to fail at the point of creating an ISO is all about editing the batch file.

Exodia Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 ectavaresYou seem to be having lots of problems creating an unattended install. Youre obviously very new to this so i sugest you start over from scratch and take it slow.First things first, slipstream SP1 into your cd, this way it will be integrated for you. Check your other post, i posted a link for you.Then, try creating a simple winnt.sif file and test out the install. Dont add anything until you get that working right. Then just work your way up from there.It took me a 2 days to get my first unattended cd with oem apps and updates working fine. Just take it slow and follow the directions carefully.

borhan Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Did u use Gosh's method?If so, the winnt.sif should placed in "BOOT" folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPamplin Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Use Nero 5 or 6 to make your bootable CD, if you have it, then find a DOS boot floppy and use that as the boot image of the CD (Nero will ask for it when you're making the CD image).Also, your WINNT.SIF has FileSystem=* - Windows will ask you what file system you want, so this line MUST be changed if you want to go fully unattended! Remove that line entirely.Here's the first part of my WINNT.SIF file to get you started:[Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes"[Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended Repartition=No OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes UnattendSwitch="Yes" TargetPath=\WINDOWS WaitForReboot="No" OemFilesPath="d:\Install\WinXP\$OEM$" OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\0INTEL;Drivers\1VIA;Drivers\2SiS" DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore NonDriverSigningPolicy=Ignore KeyboardLayout="US" Hibernation=No[GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=35 OemSkipWelcome=1[GuiRunOnce]d:\batfiles\postxp.cmdGood luck, and keep trying,JP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
