August 18, 200422 yr I'm trying to make an unattended multiboot dvd with windows xp home and pro (along with others). For some reason during the install, windows doesn't do the things that are in the winnt.sif. It asks for my serial key and doesn't transfer over the OEM Preinstall files. I'm sure that the files are in all the right places but I still can't get it right. Here are my files in question.Pro:;Windows XP Pro - winnt.sif[Data]AutoPartition = 0 MsDosInitiated = 0 UnattendedInstall = Yes AutomaticUpdates = Yes[unattended] UnattendMode = DefaultHide UnattendSwitch = Yes OemPreinstall = Yes OemSkipEula = Yes FileSystem = * WaitForReboot = No TargetPath = "\Windows" DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore NonDriverSigningPolicy = Ignore Hibernation = No[GuiUnattended] AdminPassword = * EncryptedAdminPassword = NO OEMSkipRegional = 1 TimeZone = 35 [userData] ProductKey = "XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX" [Display] BitsPerPel = 32 Xresolution = 1280 YResolution = 1024 Vrefresh = 70 [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup = 1 Language = 00000409[systemFileProtection] SFCQuota = 0[GuiUnattended] OEMSkipRegional = 1 OemSkipWelcome = 1[branding] BrandIEUsingUnattended = Yes Home_Page = http://www.google.com Help_Page = http://www.google.com://http://www.google.com .../www.google.com Search_Page = http://www.google.com://http://www.google.com://http://www..../www.google.com[Proxy] Proxy_Enable = 0 Use_Same_Proxy = 1[identification] JoinWorkgroup = MSHOME[Networking] InstallDefaultComponents = YesHome:;Windows XP Home - winnt.sif[Data]AutoPartition = 0 MsDosInitiated = 0 UnattendedInstall = Yes AutomaticUpdates = Yes[unattended] UnattendMode = DefaultHide UnattendSwitch = Yes OemPreinstall = Yes OemSkipEula = Yes FileSystem = * WaitForReboot = No TargetPath = "\Windows" DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore NonDriverSigningPolicy = Ignore Hibernation = No[GuiUnattended] AdminPassword = * EncryptedAdminPassword = NO OEMSkipRegional = 1 TimeZone = 35 [Display] BitsPerPel = 32 Xresolution = 1280 YResolution = 1024 Vrefresh = 70 [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup = 1 Language = 00000409[systemFileProtection] SFCQuota = 0[GuiUnattended] OEMSkipRegional = 1 OemSkipWelcome = 1[branding] BrandIEUsingUnattended = Yes Home_Page = http://www.google.com Help_Page = http://www.google.com://http://www.google.com .../www.google.com Search_Page = http://www.google.com://http://www.google.com://http://www..../www.google.com[Proxy] Proxy_Enable = 0 Use_Same_Proxy = 1[identification] JoinWorkgroup = MSHOME[Networking] InstallDefaultComponents = YesThanks for any help.

August 18, 200422 yr I'm a noob at this myself so this is just a suggestion but all of your lines have spaces,[Data]AutoPartition = 0MsDosInitiated = 0UnattendedInstall = YesAutomaticUpdates = YesEvery example I've seen doesn't have any spaces,[Data]AutoPartition=0MsDosInitiated=0UnattendedInstall=YesAutomaticUpdates=YesI don't know if the spaces will effect anything but if they do it may be just as simple as removing the spaces.
September 11, 200421 yr ClarkKent:Just so you know, the spaces do not effect the functionality of each parameter.md10md:Did you make sure that if your file is WINNT.SIF that you deleted WINNT.SI_?
