Installation restarts at T-30


Recommended Posts

(noob alert) This is my first try at an unattended Windows install.

I've slipstreamed SP2 unto a virgin XP CD. This image (XP-SP2) works like a charm (tested with vmware). I then went to work and followed the guide supplied on msfn.org.

Installation starts normally but it chokes at T-30 after/at the end of the networking installation. The computer then reboots and (after reboot) i get a message that installation is restarting (which it does). So i end up in an endless installation restart loop. I've looked around and did not find anything similar to my problem which means it's probably nothing but i can't figure it out.

The culprit is probably winnt.sif since nothing else has been called at this point. So here it is.

Does anyone have a clue about this?

rootdown & risolutore

did you do any of the following?

1. Did you edit your bootup screen?

2. Did you edit your WPF file?

3. Did you edit your setup bootscreen?

4. Are you using RunOnceEx.cmd or Batch Files?

5. What else did you modify?

Your winnt.sif looks good to me.

I did not modify any file, did not trim down XP and I'm using a batch file.

I have an $OEM$ folder with software to install in $1\Install and i have stuff in $PROGS folder.

I'm using a cmdlines.txt and useraccounts.cmd but that should not be the problem since it hasn't been called yet.

My version of XP is a french version so that could be it.

I did use nlite but only to slipstream SP2, not for editing and trimming down Windows.

I'll start back from scratch once i get back home (at work).

I'll post my RegTweaks.reg and batch file tonight when i come back home.

No nlite from now on. I used because it was recommended by the tutorials on msfn.org. I should have known better and just go command line. I'll keep you posted on how it goes.

Thanks for the help (and the link too).

I'd be willing to bet I know the reason this problem is happening. I had the EXACT same problem occur yesterday in VMware, and only figured it out once I had tested it without my winnt.sif and it worked.

I was running my ISO in VMware with my winnt.sif, and everytime at T-30 it restarted, said "Setup is restarting..." and went back to T-39. So, I took the winnt.sif out and tried again. This time it worked. However it asked for the computer name, and I entered "computerA" for example. Well the computer VMware is running on is also named "computerA" and the installation told me the name was already in use and I had to pick something else.

So the solution in my case was to pick a different computer name. In other words, if the computer name in your winnt.sif is already in use on the network and installation has access to the network at the T-30 stage, it won't alert you that it is in use and will just go into an endless loop from T-39 to T-30.

I would suggest either choosing a different computer name in your winnt.sif or leaving it blank to test it.

Hope this helps,

Yo flyakite, that could be it. My the winnt.sif computer name is the same as my main box (which makes sense for a reinstall). I'll try that tonight. Although i think that when i installed using only the XP-SP2 cd it worked (and i think i used the same computer name).

Thanks both for the help, i now have a glimmer of hope that it will work tonight.

so it depends on what?

In the past i used to test in vm the winnt.sif with the same name of the machine without any error till sp1, and now with sp2 I got thi bug? Really a bug I think,

It's installing!!

I've changed the virtual computer's name in winnt.sif so both the virtual and real computers would not have the same names and it worked. Thanks flyakite for the heads up and thanks Astalavista for the support. This board is great!

Now comes the task of customizing this baby...
