Need Help...XP SP2 unattend asking for Cd2?

**djtech2k** · November 19, 2004

I have run into a problem that i have never seen before. I have done these things before without any problems. I just slipstreamed SP2 into XP Pro. Then, I created a simple unattend for it. When i run the cd, it gets about 50% thru the load and asks for XP CD2. This is crazy because i dont have 2 XP cd's. Its looking for some files from the I386 that look like they are for TabletPC edition. Has anyone had this? I have redone it different ways with the same result. i am teesting this thru Virtual PC. any help appreciated!!

your using a xp cd that came with your desktop or laptop?

**djtech2k** · November 20, 2004

I did it with and XP Pro corporate edition CD. It is a legal copy from my employer.

I've done it just fine with CORP edition. How did you slipstream? Did you use nlite or do it the "old fashioned" way and use a command line/run? The reason I ask is because when you use nlite you are in another ballpark and maybe you should ask your question there.

If you did what I did, and created it using the commands built into SP2, then I don't know what happened. It worked fine when I did it. I didn't follow the guides here, I found other guides before I started messing with unattended discs, and the guide I used was for SP1, but it worked just fine.

Many people have used the guide here and didn't have a problem with it, so that should not be the case.

I used the command parameteres. I think I used /S:<path>. It appears to work fine, but it keeps asking for disk 2. I dont know why it is even concerned with anything TabletPC related.

That looks right to me. I don't know why its not working. Someting could be wrong in your SIF file perhaps? I beleive media center uses 2 discs, maybe you accidently got that disc.

**djtech2k** · November 22, 2004

Well, my sif file is very simple. The only things I want to accomplish are to have the license number inserted and disable the SP2 ICF by default. The rest is just fluff. My company only has XP Pro, so i know its not that. It is corporate edition.

your missing a lot of key components... i suggest that

u go to unattended.msfn.org and check again on how to make a proper winnt.sif.

even if u use the microsoft resource tool to make the winnt.sif. u still

need to modify it.

here is what mine looks like

OK. I went thru the entire thing again. i added some stuff to the winnt.sif, but nothing that looks important or major. Here is the new version I just edited:

;SetupMgrTag

[Data]

AutoPartition=0

MsDosInitiated="0"

UnattendedInstall="Yes"

[unattended]

UnattendMode=GuiAttended

OemPreinstall=No

TargetPath=\WINDOWS

Hows this look?

**djtech2k** · November 22, 2004

OK. It appears that the slipstream is the problem. I created a new dir am simply put in XP source files and integrated the SP2. I then created an ISO of it and tried it in VPC. I did NOT use anything unattended. It asked for CD2. I cannot believe this!!!!

Any ideas?

I dont know if this realtes to it but you have the PC joining a domain but did not specify any domain logon information. Might want to try sticking it in a work group. Other than that I don't think that would cause your problem

**djtech2k** · November 23, 2004

I got it fixed guys. I thought I would share the results. As I suspected, the SP2 slipstream included some crap for TabletPC. I am guessing it does this because the SP2 is used for TabletPC edition also. The only way I could get it to work is to use nLite. nLite is a util that allows you to create you unattended install, slipstream SP's, slipstream hotfixes, make bootable, and remove crap from the install that you dont want. I used it to remove unwanted stuff from the cd, including TabletPC stuff. I used it also to create my unattend file and then edited it manually. Now, my cd is much smaller and it works perfectly. nLite worked great for me. I have no idea why that TabletPC stuff was happening, but it was.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback.
