Shoshoni Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Okay first off, I want to say that WinPE is really coming in handy when it comes to automatically formatting the drives. My next step was to install windows xp via winnt32.exe as pointed out by Gosh. The install starts, it only copies the $BT folder. When winnt32.exe is done, it doesn't restart the pc as it should. When I restart manually, Setup starts textmode setup, load its files and simply states that it needs the WinXP Home cd. And if I'm not mistaken the $LS folder is the most important one right? ;SetupMgrTag[Data] AutoPartition=1 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes"[Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS UnattendSwitch="yes" OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\000_chipset;Drivers\001_network;Drivers\002_monitor;Drivers\003_tv_out;Drivers\004_usb_chipset;Drivers\005_printer;Drivers\006_scanner;Drivers\007_audio;Drivers\008_vga;Drivers\009_wlan;Drivers\0010_modem" DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore[GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=110 OemSkipWelcome=1[UserData] ProductKey= FullName= OrgName="" ComputerName=MD8083-WINXP[Display] BitsPerPel=32 Xresolution=1280 YResolution=1024 Vrefresh=70[RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1[FavoritesEx] Title1="MSFN's Unattended XP CD - Introduction.url" URL1="http://unattended.msfn.org/index.htm" Title2="Russian language online tutorial and Russian phrasebook.url" URL2="http://www.waytorussia.net/WhatIsRussia/Russian/Part1.html" Title3="Portrait art tutorials.url" URL3="http://www.portrait-artist.org/" Title4="Sony DNA Support NetMD.url" URL4="http://www.sonydigital-link.com/dna/dna.asp?l=nl"[Branding] BrandIEUsingUnattended=Yes[URL] Home_Page=www.google.nl[Shell] DefaultThemesOff=Yes DefaultStartPanelOff=Yes[Proxy] Proxy_Enable=0 Use_Same_Proxy=1[Identification] JoinWorkgroup=Werkgroep[Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes[Components] msmsgs=off msnexplr=off pinball=off freecell=off hearts=off zonegames=off AccessOpt=off WMAccess=off WMPOCM=off OEAccess=off IEAccess=off[GuiRunOnce]I am completely lost here. Could it be the fact that I am using Longhorn's PE engine?Does the /localsource switch (winnt32.exe) make any difference?Many thanks for help in advance!

likuidkewl Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 What does your batch file for installing look like? There are a few exampes here in the forums, and yes you should make local source on a seperate partition.It just makes life simpler, or you can install from a UNC path.

mats Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 I do it with a unattend.txt but the cmd line is .\i386\winnt32 /unattend:.\i386\unattend.txt /syspart:c:you will have to do the reboot in your script. Winnt32 will not reboot automatic. This is by design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
