Hello All,

With nlite 0.95 I created a lean Windows XP installation and with the information on this site I created a winnt.sif answer file.

Some questions remain:

When I start winnt32 /unattend:winnt.sif from the hard disk, I can't select the partition to install to, I can only select to delete the current installation on the current partition.

When I create a CD from the same file set, I'm able to select which partition, but I still miss the option to (quick) format before copying the files.

Also:

I still get some popup windows, which require user attention.

- "Welcome to the Windows XP Setup Wizard"

- "Regional and language settings"

I did some search, but failed to find clues yet.

Here my winnt.sif file:

To skip the Welcome Setup Screen:

Under [unattended], add:

UnattendSwitch = Yes

I don't know why you've the regional settings . Yours seems correct.
