Wizardry Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 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,Wiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsmokingman Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 You Have To Add That As A Boot Up Option Open Cmd Promt At The YOUR-LOCATION-OF-XPCD\i386Then In cmd promt to get a full list of help type in winnt32.exe /?This is what you want to read about/cmdconsInstalls 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaRKNeSS666NL Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 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.D@RKNeSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siginet Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 The recovery console does not do the same type of repair that they are talking about. But that wasn't a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
