Alanoll Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 please use CODE tages. They're not hard to figure out, just press the code button, paste the text, press the button again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durex Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 So basically youre trying to have 1 UA cd, but use it for multiple PC's.. which of course each would need to have different hostnames and CDKEYS?Id be very interested to find the solution to this as well, as I would make things much more convenient. (Course I havent searched for it so someone has probably already covered this before) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCT Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 just make a cmd file that asks u what computer your using, or make a script that detects the pc & sets appropriate pc name / resolution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durex Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Right, but the winnt.sif is loaded way at the beginning of the install... how would you implement this?Again, I havent search a bunch for this.. not really sure what terms to use to be honest.. so if its been covered (which i wouldnt be surprised if it has) hit me up with some search terms or the thread and Ill stop buggin ya...

Tinywoods Posted January 12, 2005 Author Share Posted January 12, 2005 Thank you for all responses. :>Alanoll OK I?fll use Code Buttons from next time.> durexYes, I have three PCs that need to have different hostnames and XP CDKEYS. So I set ?gblank?h in ProductID part. Actually, it is not full unattended mode. I need to input ProductIDs and select ComputerNames for 3 machines.I have visited many sites that describe about winnt.sif, but I could not find out any solution. > MCT It?fs a good idea. ?c.?@I want to try the cmd file if you have.I do not want to use a winnnt.sif in floppy. I want to use just one DVD for my PCs when I install XP pro and Office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prathapml Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 You can make a multi-boot disc with 3 different BOOT folders (each having a different winnt.sif).So that when the CD boots up, it will ask which of the 3 options to install and you just choose the one you want - that's all.

Tinywoods Posted January 15, 2005 Author Share Posted January 15, 2005 I understand there are two ways to make an Unattended DVD for my three PCs. One is a cmd file that ]Bonkers[ has posted, another one is three-winnt.sif. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=21316&st=10http://www.911cd.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=3352Cmd file is too difficult to understand for me due to my less skill. So I chose three-winnt.sif. However, three-winnt.sif is also difficult for me to make a DVD. I do not understand to load three boot.Bin files in one time. I may need to make a script file to load them. Nero Burning ROM can not load more than two boot.bin files in a same time. I may need more time to find out solution. Now I'm studying!

Incroyable HULK Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 I suggest you follow the "official" guide http://flyakite.msfnhosting.com/ which is close to the 911cd.net solution... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
