I_Broke_My_MHZ Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 I'm doing a DOS unattended install of Win2k. So basically I have all the stuff on the hard drive. The install files are in a folder called "win2kinst" and $oem$ and i386 are next to each other. In dos I enter the commandwinnt /s:c:\win2kinst /u:c:\win2kinst\winnt.sifAnd it works, able to read the winnt.sif file 'n everything. The only problem is, the contents of $oem$ do not copy. What do I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepnmojo Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Most likely you don't have this line in your winnt.sifOEMPreinstall=YesPost your winnt.sif if you do, and people can take a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik_demon Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 If you use winnt.exe or winnt32.exe, the $OEM$ folder must be inside the i386 folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_Broke_My_MHZ Posted April 5, 2005 Author Share Posted April 5, 2005 I did have OEMpreinstall=yes in winnt.sif.I tried it with $oem$ in i386 per your suggestion, but the problem with that is when I do that, all the names of the files in the oem folder get converted to MSDOS compatable names what with the ~ and the numbers. So... damnit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik_demon Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 At least that means that I am right when you use winnt.exe you can only use short file namesPlease download the Windows XP Service Pack 2 Deployment Tools hereextract the .CAB file, and open deploy.chmThen search the document for something like: how to use winnt.exeThe info is somewhere inside.Good luck!

I_Broke_My_MHZ Posted April 5, 2005 Author Share Posted April 5, 2005 Ehhh I guess that means I need to manually change filenames in oem and reconfigure the batch file. But OK, at least it's fixable. Thanks a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 search the deply tools for $$Rename.txt, that allows you to keep the names, and change the names after copy automatically via setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
