Newbie question...

[Gregg66]

First off..Hello everyone!!

I've been reading the posts on these forums and I'm thoroughly impressed. I've been burning bootable WinXP w/sp2 & Sata support for a couple of months now and I have a question regarding txtsetup.oem files.

Is it possible to combine the information within two separate txtsetup.oem files into one? The reason I ask is I have two different computers. One has Sata Raid and the other has Promise Raid. I'm making bootable cd's for both machine; however, if I can put all of it on one disk that would be even better.

I know I have to modify the txtsetup.sif file with all of the relative information for both controllers. The problem I run into is the txtsetup.oem file. I've tried it once before and received some sort of boot code error 4 I think. Maybe it was something I did that generated the code while the txtsetup.oem file I had made was ok.....

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Edit: Just solved the issue!! I now have a bootable WinXP cd w/SP2, Sata Raid, and Promise Raid for both machines!!

I just merged the 2 txtsetup.oem files together...no problem. I wanted to make sure this worked before I make another with the "unatteneded" Winnt.sif file.

Could you send me a PM on how you did this?

I tried using txtsetup.oem files unsuccessfully for weeks. Your insight and perhaps some examples would be greatly appreciated.
