I need assistance, plz.

[Hypnos]

O.K, this my situation..

I have edited winnt.sif and winnt.bat so that its fullunattended, but when i go test it

with VMware4.0 the first part goes fine.. partitioning, it copies files and the $oem$ map.

Then there comes a reboot, what is normal. But after this reboot it doesnt come up with the GUI mode..

I guess the installation process doesnt know where he stored thoose copied files

somehow...?? or, VMware has a misconfig...??

If I need to post my winnt.sif, No Problem

Thx!!

The best way to do a VMWare install is with an iso image.

You might need to post a bit more info, but you winnt.sif should look something like this:

I think i had a bug in VMware..

I installed it on a different pc, and my unattended cd worked fine there..

So, i updated VMware.. and now i have no probs with this part...

but other probs occur.. as usual
