PsychoYoda Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 During my installation, Windows comes up w/ a box that says that there is a missing section in the winnt.sif file. I checked it and it was there. it was the "computers name" (mine is Kyle). So when I asks me to fill it in, its already filled in, but i have to press next. Is that b/c its not all caps?*EDIT* I just copied down the error:"Unattened Setup is unable to continue because a Setup parameter specified by your system administrator or computer manufacturer is missing or invalid. Setup must therefore ask you to provide this information now.Once you have furnished the required information, unattended Setup will continue."It then goes to the "Computer Name" screen, but the box is already filled in with the info in my winnt.sif file and the box is grayed out so it's unchangeable.

prathapml Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Maybe you haven't set the mode to be used for your unattended. Maybe you used "Provide Defaults" instead of "Full Unattended". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
