dude, no offence, just a little bit of sarcasm, nothing else.

+ I don't believe in windows repair. if crap happens - I do a complete reinstall/reformat.

and ofc good job on the explainin

Setup automaticly searches for winnt.sif on a disk.

it would be great if setup searches also on USB keys

(USB keys are a lot better and safer than floppies...)

do you know if it is possible?

I searched by myself, event at microsoft.com, and nothing about it...

Try to create a new topic and more ppl will look at it and probably help.

i'm sure setup searchs usb pens, but weather it actually uses it, like if you put your sata drivers on a usb pen, it reads them, but it doesn't actually isntall them?

Thank you, sIn_maxo! I am exactly what you mentioned in the previous posts - a future nLiter who needs an answer. This issue just came up for me and six months after your great solution. I appreciate your help on this! Some people don't have foresight. I have found solutions to problems in posts as old as 10 year on various forums.

Can't wait to get my repair option back...

the repair option and the $OEM$ setup folder installs

so is it anyway possible to hav it both on the cd?

Well considering that if you change IDE controller (because of mother upgrade or Raid card) the only way to keep XP running again is to do a repair, so that's why is a needed option. No crap there.

When I delete [unattended] section, I won't be able to preinstall drivers, am I correct?

I mean the drivers installed with F6 such as SATA drivers. (I've included them as normal)
