Strat79 Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Are you trying to run your unattended disk straight from the hard drive? Like you just copied it from the CD to your HDD then tried to run it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strat79 Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 If doing an install from harddrive then $OEM$ should be inside the i386 directory I believe. Try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennh Posted June 15, 2004 Author Share Posted June 15, 2004 to Strat79:yes~i've tried it before.when i try to install unattended OS from HD source,i got a same result as before.=========================================but i found one thing,it seems won't copy those sub-foldersin $oem$\$1(install&drivers folders) by HD installing.but it will copy those sub-folders in $oem$\$1 by CD-boot installing.anything is wrong??thanks for your help!

Strat79 Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 You say you have put the $OEM$ folder INSIDE the I386 folder before? Instead of the root drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennh Posted June 15, 2004 Author Share Posted June 15, 2004 to Strat79:i've tried to put the $oem$ folder onto i386 folder(z:\i386\$oem$)it could work by HD installing afterward,but i got another issue.when it unattend installing by CD-boot,unattend installing failed.because it seems would search the root path for $oem$ folder only,it wouldn't search any $oem$ folder below the i386 folder.i've tred[unattended]oemfilespath="..\i386\$oem$"but it doesn't work atall.

Strat79 Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 ok, i see. Why not just put the $OEM$ folder back in the root on the CD for CD installs. And leave it in the I386 folder when installing from hard drive. I hope I am understanding you right. It's very late for me and I am sleepy. sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strat79 Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Or even if you do put it back into the I386 folder it still gives you this error from CD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennh Posted June 15, 2004 Author Share Posted June 15, 2004 to Strat79:ok,thanks your help.have a nice dream to you .=============================================if i put $oem$ folder to root and put it inside i386 folder too,it could be work aswhatever i want to do .but if i do so , the OS size would over than 700MB.============================================= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alanoll Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 actually....if you were smart and you did what you say here....=============================================if i put $oem$ folder to root and put it inside i386 folder too,it could be work aswhatever i want to do .but if i do so , the OS size would over than 700MB.=============================================use CDIMAGE with the -o option, and it will only write the duplicate files once to the ISO, but it will appear in both places.http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/finish.htmAlso, OEMPath doesn't really work to tell it where $OEM$ is....so I suggest you forget that.
