i used setupmgr from xp deploy tools to create my answer file, it then made me 2 files which is: unattended MS-DOS Batch File, and unattend.txt. i remaned the unattend.txt file to winnt.sif and copied it to C:\XPCD\I386\. but what do i do with the unattended MS-DOS Batch File?

nothing just delete it. all u need is unattended.txt and rename it to winnt.sif

not true put the batch file in the root of the CD and make sure that it is named

Edit: the winnt.sif file is there just as a backup

whoa, lucky i didnt del it

ty for help

The msdos file unattended.bat may be deleted.

There is absolutely no reason or advantage to

have either of those files in the root of the cd.

rename the unattended.txt file to winnt.sif and place it in the i386 folder.
