jammupatu Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Hi all!The scenario is this: I have a MS-DOS 6.22 boot cd which I use to fdisk the harddrive and fire the unattended script over the network. (The network is Novell.) Until SP2 this scenario has worked real well but when I integrated the SP2 the 2GB FAT16 partition met it's limits. I constructed a boot cd using Windows 98 so that I can get FAT32 support. Unfortunately Windows XP's setup hangs right after it copies the first files and stops for a moment before the progress bar appears (that's in text mode setup of course). The machine's hard drive goes real crazy and won't stop seeking (the chassis' light is on all the time).Any idea what I should do?BR,Jammupatu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Frink Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 I assume you are making a large enough FAT32 partition? And is everything otherwise normal up until that point -- the whole process of boot > fdisk > format > connect to network > start XP installation ?
