Alright

When I boot either with BartPe or WinPE, and I start my Unattend setup file, I get this error message:

"The specified setup script file (C:\scripts\unattend.txt) in inacessible or invalid"

Here is the part where I am calling the unattend file:

echo
diskpart.exe /s "pepart.txt" 
format c: /fs:ntfs /v:"" /Q /Y

c:
cd \

mkdir Scripts
copy u:\Scripts\unattend\Control\WinXPsp2EN\*.* c:\scripts
copy u:\Scripts\unattend\stage1\*.* c:\scripts
copy u:\Scripts\unattend\Common\*.* c:\scripts
copy u:\scripts\mini-setup\*.* c:\scripts

u:
cd source\Winxpsp2en\i386

winnt32 /unattend:c:\scripts\unattend.txt /syspart:c: /noreboot
reboot

My unattend file is located in u:\Scripts\unattend\Control\WinXPsp2EN which get copied locally. (I have verified)

Here is the first part of my unattend file:

[Data]
    AutoPartition=1
    MsDosInitiated="0"
    UnattendedInstall="Yes"
    AutomaticUpdates = 1

;   UnattendSwitch = No 	 ; Set to yes during winnt installation to skip welcome
;   Win9xUpgrade = No 	 ; Indicats if this is an upgrad

I have checked everything, ACL, security...but can't find the problem.

thanks for any help

Use Xcopy instead copy

You should probably reboot after partitioning your disk. If you dont then you get all sorts of strange errors, even though the disk seems to be partitioned and formatted correctly.
