hm i am currently learning how to install windows unattended ..i finished the beginners part..right now i am starting the intermidate section..well i have a question.

the thing is that i do not having something matching up in my winnt.sif file...

on the page is written

To edit the WINNT.SIF file, simply open it up in notepad and edit it as follows:

[unattended]

OemPreinstall=Yes

UnattendSwitch="yes"

OemPreinstall=Yes instructs Windows XP Setup that there is an $OEM$ distribution share on the CD. This will tell setup to copy them over to the destination hard drive of where Windows is being installed.

UnattendSwitch="yes" instructs Windows XP Setup to skip the "Welcome to Windows XP" screens, where user account and Internet setting-up takes place. If you didn't skip this then it wouldn't really be "unattended" would it? :-) (Although we'll worry about User Account creation by going to the Add Users & Auto Logon page later).

but if You look at my winnt.sif file then you can see that i dunno have it...here is it...can some one help me out...

UnattendSwitch = Yes

OemPreinstall = Yes

OemSkipEula = Yes

FileSystem = *

WaitForReboot = No

NoWaitAfterTextMode = 1

NoWaitAfterGUIMode = 1

TargetPath = Windows

thanks for the fast answer..but what about how they are lined up

for example as u writte

Unattended]

UnattendMode = FullUnattended

UnattendSwitch = Yes

OemPreinstall = Yes

OemSkipEula = Yes

FileSystem = *

WaitForReboot = No

NoWaitAfterTextMode = 1

NoWaitAfterGUIMode = 1

TargetPath = Windows

but i have

[unattended]

UnattendMode=FullUnattended

OemSkipEula=Yes

OemPreinstall=Yes

TargetPath=\WINDOWS

this meanst that i would need to writte it inside...

will this affect the installation some how...?

Nope... In answer file you dont have to use defined order (this applies to categories and to settings), you only need to include settings in right category...
