3bciq2 Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 If you install WinXP from within the a Windows GUI you will be give the option to copy installation files to the hard drive before setup initiates. Is there a command, option or setting that I am missing that would allow the same process to occur when doing a clean install and booting from the unattended CD?I'm sure it is something simple, it always is, but if someone has an answer I really would appreciate the help.Thanks In Advance...3bciq2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfranco Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 to copy the setup files you need to find out which letter your cdrom is:@echo offIF EXIST D:\WIN51IP.SP1 set CDROM=D:IF EXIST E:\WIN51IP.SP1 set CDROM=E:IF EXIST F:\WIN51IP.SP1 set CDROM=F:IF EXIST G:\WIN51IP.SP1 set CDROM=G:IF EXIST H:\WIN51IP.SP1 set CDROM=H:IF EXIST I:\WIN51IP.SP1 set CDROM=I:IF EXIST J:\WIN51IP.SP1 set CDROM=J:this would be enough to find your cdrom drive letterthen in your batch scriptmd %systemroot%\i386copy %cdrom%\i386\*.* %systemroot%\i386this will copy your i386 folder to your win folder.This is what i can do right now.I'm not so sure if it exactly works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
