aresgodofwar Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 im working on another edition of my unattended windows. things are not going so well. i had everything done, and burned a dvd. stuck it in my crash box and proceeded to install windows. well the screen that comes up and says press any key to boot from cd..... i hit a key, then it goes to the next screen that says something about starting setup, and then it instantly reboots the machine. so i tried on a different machine. same result. so then i tried burning a cd and not a dvd. same. i tried getting a new dvd burner (which im glad i did. dual layer baby!! ) same problem.so then i try booting from my original factory xp cd. works fine. tried booting from my dell oem xp cd. works fine.im not sure what im doing wrong. i followed instructions to the T for copying files from my cd to the harddrive, customizing all the settings, and making the iso with CDImage. then i have used Nero, Alcohol, and Roxio to burn the cds/dvds. nothing seems to work! i'm pulling my hair out over here. can anyone help me?ps: this is gonna suck if it is something small that i missed.

Alanoll Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 doesn't sound like a problem with the CD or ISO creation, since Setup starts. Sounds more like there's a problem setup wise. Without knowing what else you did, and how you edited files, then I'd suggest starting over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aresgodofwar Posted January 29, 2005 Author Share Posted January 29, 2005 @astalavista: no i did not use nlite. just basic customizations like winnt.sif, apps, oem customizations, etc. @alanoll: i will try to make a cd with no customizations whatsoever except for SP2, and post my results.
