Unattended DVD works, sort of

**LW1** · October 31, 2004

Hello, i just made my 1st unattended DVD that contains XP Pro W/SP2, Office2003, various drivers & software progams. But after testing the image with Virtual PC my name is set a Limited User, instead of Administrator, my ATI 9800 AIW Pro drivers were not loaded, instead it shows an SIS Video Adapter, Creative 16 bit audio drivers instaed of the SB Audigy, Intel Network Adapter instead of the integrated Realtek.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I am interested in learning how to fully automate the installation of Windows and the applications. I am familiar with the usual unattend.txt file, but am not familiar with this method.

Could someone point me in the right direction? Basically I'd like to know if there is any special software required, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Virtual PC has its own drivers for these devices. You won't be able to test your drivers with Virtual PC.

As far as your user account problem, I'm not sure. At what point during the installation is 'useraccounts.cmd' being executed?

**LW1** · October 31, 2004

As you can probably tell im a n00b at this, how can I tell when its being executed?

Thank you for your time & help

**LW1** · October 31, 2004

P.S. would VMWare load its own drivers also ? As it would b nice to test them before burning to a dvd also

Thanks Again

**lilweirddude** · October 31, 2004

like...

is it in cmdlines or guirunonce?

Nope. You're in the same boat with vmware as it comes with its own drivers.

Getting back to your user account problem:

You need to call that batch file. It won't execute on it's own.

Place 'useraccounts.cmd' in $OEM$

Make a text file named 'Cmdlines.txt'. In that file place this:

[COMMANDS]
"useraccounts.cmd"

Save it to the $OEM$ folder.

If you already have a cmdlines.txt file, then just append "useraccounts.cmd" to the end. The quotes are necessary.

//I was trying to post this earlier but I think MSFN had some trouble...

**LW1** · October 31, 2004

Hello, this is what I have in the useraccounts.cmd which is in the $OEM$ folder.

[COMMANDS]

"useraccounts.cmd"

"REGEDIT /S regtweaks.reg"

Thanks Again
