OEM folder Not copying to Hard Drive

[Rambeaux]

I got the unattended portion of the Boot disk to work, however when the machine boots up it cannont find c:\install\mybatchfile.cmd . I search for it and it not on the hard drive. Can anyone help me?

in your winnt.sif file do u have the line OemPreinstall=Yes

Did you set OemPreinstall="Yes" in your winnt.sif file?

Could you attach your winnt.sif (with the key blanked out)?

Most likely, you have missed out the following setting:

[Unattended]  
OemPreinstall=Yes

That is the value which governs whether files in $OEM$ get copied to HDD.

If you have set it properly, then check if the directory structure is proper. See if your $OEM$ folder is directly in your CD-root (i.e., it should be parallel, not beneath the I386 folder). Also, see if you have a $1 folder within $OEM$ - the $1 folder should have all the files as you want it on your C: drive. Check whether your CD-writing application has changed all the "$" characters into "_" (i.e., under-score) characters.

EDIT : gotta be faster.

In the few minutes that was taken by me to respond, there were already 2 replies, which said what I was going to!

does any of you three think it's anything ELSE? 3 people saying the same thing. NICE. lol.

@Rambeaux

I believe they're on the right track. Do check your winnt.sif file.

Yep, That was it. Thanks!!
