djtech2k Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted 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!!-DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djtech2k Posted November 20, 2004 Author Share Posted November 20, 2004 I did it with and XP Pro corporate edition CD. It is a legal copy from my employer.-DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjhart85 Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 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.

djtech2k Posted November 22, 2004 Author Share Posted November 22, 2004 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.-DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjhart85 Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djtech2k Posted November 22, 2004 Author Share Posted 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.-DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djtech2k Posted November 22, 2004 Author Share Posted November 22, 2004 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[GuiUnattended] EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=0[userData] ProductKey=REMOVED FullName="" OrgName="COMPANY"[identification] JoinDomain=DOMAIN[Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes[WindowsFirewall] Profiles=WindowsFirewall.TurnOffFirewall[WindowsFirewall.TurnOffFirewall] Mode=0[branding] BrandIEUsingUnattended=Yes[Proxy] Proxy_Enable=0 Use_Same_Proxy=0Hows this look?

djtech2k Posted November 22, 2004 Author Share Posted 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might want to try sticking it in a work group. Other than that I don't think that would cause your problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djtech2k Posted November 23, 2004 Author Share Posted 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.-DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
