prathapml Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 First, put this file inside the I386 folder.Then, check that the name/extension of the file really is "winnt.sif" (because sometimes it is possible to overlook that the file was mistakenly named "winnt.sif.txt" - if you saved it using notepad).

yshimizu Posted September 21, 2004 Author Share Posted September 21, 2004 It still does not read it. I tried entering the Product key that I specified, but It will not install with my product key. If you don't mind, please check my winnt.sif file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a06lp Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 err...i think you shouldnt post your product code here. someone could steal it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 So does everything else (except for the key) act as specified in winnt.sif?If so, are you sure the key you typed in there is a valid key? (SP2 blocks some keys) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tguy Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 When you are building computers with an unattended cd, even in Virtual PC, you need to put your WINNT.SIF file on a floppy disk. Here's how I do it.1) Either mount the .ISO for your build on the Virtual PC cd-rom or put the CD into your computer's cd-rom drive.2) Turn on the Virtual machine you are creating.3) When you see the "Setup is inspecting your computer's hardware...", insert the floppy disk into your computer's floppy drive.I tried including in the i386 directory on my cd, and it did not work for me either.tguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
