May 28, 200422 yr I have some questions about a Network Unattended Setup.1. If I do a network setup, do I modify the winnt.sif file?2. can I use any network boot disk to start the setup? I do not have WinPE.
May 29, 200422 yr 1. you are using an unattend.txt file (it is the same as winnt.sif but the name dont matter). you can save it on the bootdisk or on a server share. when starting setup you have to use switches to point to the unattend-file.like: x:\i386\winnt /s:x:\i386 /u:x:\unattend.txtand yes you should modify it since you want a real unattended setup. you can find a deploy.cab somewhere on the xp-cd - there are helpfiles (like deploy.chm) with all possible entries in the unattend file and a program called setupmgr.exe (i think) which can create an unattend.txt after you made all changes to fit your installation.2. you can use any dos/win bootdisk. you have to add networkdrivers to be able to connect to the server and to be able to map your install-directory. further you have to partition the hdd and to format before you can start the network-setup. dont forget to load smartdrv after you formatted the hdd but before you start setup!i am using a win2k server for installation and found a really nice and easy to use/configure win-net-bootdisk here:http://members.iinet.net.au/~bdriver/bootdisk/ which supports about 60 nics.
May 31, 200422 yr Author $OEM$--$1---DRIVERS------000_chipsetboot--unattend.batHow do I refer to my driver folder in the unattended.txt file? Do I still use Drivers\000_chipset?
