Here is my winnt.sif. The CD won't run...and I'm sure I have to do a bit more with it. I will need your explicit help on this...perhaps like an actual winnt.sif from one of you guys, and where to place the files etc.

my winnt.sif:

Thanks!!

well, there's things wrong with that winnt.sif file

but when you say the cd won't run, what is it you are saying? Is it not bootable?

did you actually create that winnt.sif file using the setupmgr.exe from microsoft?

there's lots of info on the unattended guide at http://unattended.msfn.org/

unfortunantely it's rather hard to help with so little info

btw, the oempreinstall=yes would be a good place to start if you are adding more software

oh, and the software key just isn't a proper key for XP either

Assuming the rest is working and teh CD is bootable and installs, and just all your hotfixes aren't working....change

OEMPreInstall=No

to

OEMPreInstall=YES

Then Move the folders i01,i02,i03,i04,i05,i06 into $OEM$\$1\Install

The append %system%\install before each setup call. ie.

Command0=i01\setup.exe

to

Command0=%systemdrive%\install\i01\setup.exe
