Your challenge should you choose to accept it is to find a definative guide to the stages of Windows XP setup. I mean details about t-13, cmdlines, textmode, gui mode, etc.

I have been searching all over the place and can't really find a definative guide on this. I'm interested in exactly what can and can't be done durring these setup phases.

Thanks all!

jachin: Welcome to the forum.

See the Timeline on the reference guide: http://unattended.msfn.org/global/timeline.htm

It's almost complete. I would change that [setupParams] runs at T-13, not at T-9 (at least in Windows XP SP2). The same goes to RunOnce\Setup (the forums claims that it's executed at T-34, but it's started at T-13 too).

Thanks lads, stay tunned as i have a very cool new method for unattended os install that you all may be interested in.
