no.

you're just doing something wrong elsewhere. Though I would recommend you do install SP1.....

why is that alanoll?

(not trying to mock u or anything, I'd like to know if its neccessary for slipstreaming...)

[Alanoll]

it's not neccesary...

but it just seemed to me like he was going to install a bare XP system without applying any updates.....that's not so wise....

Now....did I say slipstream? I could have sworn I said install.

no.

ok, so then whats the problem?

the only thing i do is creating a Winnt.sif file and put it in: \XPCD\I386

this is my Winnt.sif file:

;SetupMgrTag

[GuiRunOnce]
    Command0="control userpasswords2"

and still it askes me for a serial number and things like that.

ProductKey = ProductID (best to have both entries.) unless of course the key is invalid.

shouldnt that be UnattendMode=FullUnattended
