Is it possible to use an unattended install procedure to perform a repair installation of Windows XP? I don't have a problem with an unattended install but once in a while I need to perform a repair install and it would be nice to have a method to do it unattended.

Anyone ever done one successfully (unattended)?

Thanks,

You Have To Add That As A Boot Up Option Open Cmd Promt At The

YOUR-LOCATION-OF-XPCD\i386

Then In cmd promt to get a full list of help type in winnt32.exe /?

This is what you want to read about

/cmdcons

Installs the Recovery Console as a startup option on a functioning computer. The Recovery Console is a command-line interface from which you can perform tasks such as starting and stopping services and accessing the local drive (including drives formatted with NTFS). You can only use the /cmdcons option after normal Setup is finished.

So the cmd might look like this, dont quote me on this it from my memory.

winnt32.exe /cmdcons /noreboot

Negative. See my topic related to the "second R".

Why not Try it my way? I am making an unatended install first. If I am content with it I make a Gost image of it. If I than run in any troubels I simply replace the gost image.

The recovery console does not do the same type of repair that they are talking about. But that wasn't a bad idea.
