BootableCD > How do I refer to the CD drive?

In the autofun.inf file or in a batch file.

How do I refer to the CD rom drive if I do not know the exact drive the user will insert the disk into?

For example

[AutoRun]
open=j:\i386\winnt32 /unattend:j:\unattend.txt
icon=setup.exe,0

I need to get rid of th J reference

tlawlessrr,

Why don't you rename the "unattend.txt" that you've made and rename it to "winnt.sif" and replace it with the one that is in the cd, if you haven't done it already. It should work fine.

[AutoRun]
open=i386\winnt32 /unattend:unattend.txt
icon=setup.exe,0

Not sure if that will work, but it probably should.

setup should start, I don't know if it will find the unattend.txt file..... and you may want to add .exe at the end....

if that doesn't work.....

you could call a batch file...

[AutoRun]
open=setup.cmd
icon=setup.exe,0

setup.cmd

%CD%\I386\winnt32.exe /unattend:%CD%\I386\Unattend.txt

I'm not sure that the current directory (%CD%) is the CDROM drive, if it isn't.....just use

IF EXIST D:\WIN51 SET CDROM=D:
IF EXIST E:\WIN51 SET CDROM=E:
IF EXIST F:\WIN51 SET CDROM=F:
IF EXIST G:\WIN51 SET CDROM=G:
IF EXIST H:\WIN51 SET CDROM=H:
IF EXIST I:\WIN51 SET CDROM=I:
IF EXIST J:\WIN51 SET CDROM=J:
IF EXIST K:\WIN51 SET CDROM=K:
IF EXIST L:\WIN51 SET CDROM=L:

%CDROM%\I386\winnt32.exe /unattend:%CDROM%\I386\Unattend.txt

[sleepnmojo]

setup.cmd

%CD%\I386\winnt32.exe /unattend:%CD%\I386\Unattend.txt

SET CD=%~d0

That would be a little better in this case. The setup.cmd would have to be on the cd, and this would take out the dependency on the file.
