More than one WINNT.sif

[Nakatomi2010]

I've been following the guide at http://flyakite.msfnhosting.com/ and I've reached a point of stumping...

I'm trying to make a multiboot CD with Windows XP Home and Professional, I can get it to install in a breeze, but I can't get the different "versions" of each running, for example...

I want one install to be a traditional one with no drivers, no branding and fully attended, a second one with all drivers, and branding but attented, and a third one which is completely unattended with drivers and branding... I can get the unattended with all drivers and branding working, and the attended with no drivers and no branding, but I'm having difficulty with the attended with drivers and branding, it does the same as completely unattended, I've got the thing set up properly, pro2 points to pro2 etc etc, I'm runing under the assumption this is a problem with the WINNT.sif file...

I've also copied the contents of the i386 folder to the PRO1/HOM1/etc directory because that was the only way I could get the drivers to work right... I'm using a service pack 2 versions of everything, was just wondering how far off the guide some people had to go in order to get this thing working right..... And how to fix the WINNT.sif thing...

you'll have two separate winnt.sif files, one for each directory.

I'm tryingg to create 3 installs sequences, 1) Unattended with Drivers and Branding, 2) Attended with drivers, no branding, and 3) Attended, no drivers, no branding... 1 and 3 work fine, but I want 2 to be able to load, show me the EULA in text mode and offer me to perform a repair install, but it goes straight to the partition choices, all the WINNT.SIF file has fo the is the OEMPNPDriverspath= section and the ignore drivers signing policy, and what not.... Can I be more specific and tell it "Show the option to perform a repair install" or no...

You won't get an option for repair install if you use a winnt.sif answer file. You'll need to create a version without the winnt.sif to do that.

Try using my app Windows XP Powerpacker. It will do exactly what you need.

Edit... well almost what you want. Jito is right some of what you want to do is not possible. Sorry.
