Imp123 Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 HiI'm installing Windows XP Professional unattended (not upgrade) - initiated from Windows 2000/XP (not boot on CD). Everything is running smooth since I use an unattended file, but during the text-based installation the setup halts since it detect an existing installation in the \Windows folder. I'm required to hit L or something to continue. Is there any way to force installation and avoid getting prompted?The problem is related to the fact that the unattended file contains TargetPath=\Windows and that a Windows installation already exist in this folder.[Data] AutoPartition=1 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes"[unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore DUDisable=YesThank you!

But I don't know if you want that.
Imp123 Posted January 26, 2005 Author Posted January 26, 2005 HiThe unattended file already contain AutoPartition=1, but since I initiate the setup from Windows 2000/XP, this parameter is ignored. I need to do a "new" installation - not an upgrade, and I need to start setup when Windows 2000/XP is running.Thanks for your reply, other suggestions?
