neil Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 (edited) first of all there is no need to start a new topic when we are replying to a thread discussing exactly the same thing started by you.http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=48968secondly, as i replied in your thread above, the option you need to change is located in the boot.ini.This file does not exist on the XP CD so cannot be edited prior to install. You could set up a script to automatically edit the file on first log on so that its changed forever after that - try this:cmdow @ /HID@echo offREM delete boot.ini if existsFOR %%d IN (c:) DO IF EXIST %%d\boot.ini DEL %%d\boot.ini" /qSET D = %%dREM create new boot.iniecho [boot loader] >> "%D%boot.ini"echo timeout=10 >> "%D%boot.ini"echo default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS >> "%D%boot.ini"echo [operating systems] >> "%D%boot.ini"echo multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Professional SP2" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect >> "%D%boot.ini":EOFAll you need do is edit the last line to say ...="Windows XP MSFN edition"...I don't guarantee this will work, as my batch editing is rusty, but to do what you want this is the only way i can think of that doesn't involve hex-editing a $hi7-load of files on the CD to find the right entry.
