WXP Setup via BartPE. Problem /w switches

[Shoshoni]

I am finally at the point where I'm almost finished. And as always, then I just get another problem. I hope you guys can help me out. This is really ackward:

In this situation the i386 folder is on the cd.

K:\XP\i386\winnt32.exe /syspart:c: /unattend:E:\Restore\XP\i386\winnt.sif /s:E:\Restore\XP\i386\

(E: is a harddrive)

Everything runs fine in this scenario. I discoverered this by accident because nothing else was working. I got errors all the time (cyclic redundancy check).

So the most obvious thing to do next was:

E:\Restore\XP\i386\winnt32.exe /syspart:c: /unattend:E:\Restore\XP\i386\winnt.sif /s:E:\Restore\XP\i386\

This should work heh but not with me! After I booted WinPE and ran winnt32,

everything went fine until the moment that the first filecopying (BT~ folder etc.) begins.

The App simply gave me this error:

Setup can't make a filelist to copy. The system cannot find the specified file It really drives me nuts. I've spend months making a cd and then I get this!

Thanks in advance for your help and time!

Add /makelocalsource to your switches.

I did already, but nothing worked! This worked quite good:

@echo off
TITLE=Windows Preinstallation Environment - Unattended Installation
IF EXIST D:\$oem$.zip SET CDROM=D:
IF EXIST J:\$oem$.zip SET CDROM=J:
IF EXIST K:\$oem$.zip SET CDROM=K:
IF EXIST L:\$oem$.zip SET CDROM=L:
IF EXIST X:\$oem$.zip SET CDROM=X:
ECHO Setting resolution to 1024x768...

copy %CDROM%\winnt.sif C:\ >nul
copy %CDROM%\txtsetup.sif C:\ >nul
chdir /d E:\Restore\XP\i386\
ECHO Windows XP will now be installed on your computer...
winnt32.exe /syspart:c: /unattend:E:\Restore\XP\i386\winnt.sif
chdir /d C:\
exit

Hmm looks like you you are putting some wrong paths

this is a part of the script I use to make unattended installs over network with PE (I use MS PE not Bart's)

@echo off
set installroot=..\os\es_pro
set SetupFiles=%installroot%\i386
set AnswerFile=..\os\sif\prooem.txt

%SetupFiles%\winnt32 /syspart:c: /tempdrive:c /s:%SetupFiles% /unattend:%AnswerFile% /makelocalsource /copysource:lang

This baby been working like a charm since final xp was out
