gui_m Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 hello! this the first time i tried this n i have a little problem. i download the UltimateBootCD v2.4. I boot from the cd fine and i load up Bart's Boot CD and mount the winXP image. Know i run dir command on the mounted drive and try running winnt.exe but the thing is no HD's are found... how do i do a network installation by mounting a drive?

eth0 Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Use bartPE with the appropriate storage(such as raid drivers) + network drivers loaded.map your installshare:net use [driveletter:] \\server\installshare /user:validuseraccountstep 1Use Diskpart rem select future c:\ drive - disk 0 is the primary IDE master diskselect disk 0rem wipe the disk cleancleanrem create a single primary partition, mine is 10GB - alter to your wishescreate partition primary size=10000rem set the drive to mount at c:\assign letter=cactiveexitstep 2Then format the new partitionformat c: /fs:ntfs /y /v:sysStep 3Then run your unattended.Since bartPE / WinPE is a win32 environment you can now use winnt32 instead of DOS winnt (which would fail anyway)set AnswerFile=.\unat3.txtset SetupFiles=.\i386.\i386\winnt32 /s:%SetupFiles% /unattend:%AnswerFile% /copysource:langI run all 3 in unattend.bat like this:diskpart /s dodisk.txt: dodisk.txt contains scripted diskpart actions from Step 1format c: /fs:ntfs /y /v:sysset AnswerFile=.\unat2.txtset SetupFiles=l:\i386l:\i386\winnt32 /s:%SetupFiles% /unattend:%AnswerFile% /copysource:langYour $oem$ folders should be inside i386 if you do a network install.On completion of copy action (t-51 or so) reboot and take out the bootCD.Sit back, have a coffee and relax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravashaak Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 I've yet to mess around that much with network installs, although I have performed a couple in the past. However, I plan to delve more deeply into the topic soon just to broaden my experience. Your info should prove valuable. Thanks eth0. - Ravashaak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
