How to unattended install from harddisk under dos?

**wdboss** · December 15, 2005

First, I cann't burn my ISO. I don't have CD writer.

Second, I want to format C: before installing. So it has to do under DOS.

Last, The installing must be unattended. My unattended file is winnt.sif.

What should I do? Who can give me some minds?

Just put your winnt.sif on a floppy and make sure it is in your drive when you boot from the original CD.

I cann't boot from CD, because I don't have CD.

I also don't have floppy.

What should I do? Change winnt.sif to unattend.txt? And then install by "winnt /u:unattend.txt"?

When you're in dos, you must run "smrtdrv.exe" program which allow buffering ... without setup won't run on dos environnement ...

After just run winnt /u:YourUnattended.sif (name of file can be anything ... .txt or .sif or .bob ...)

Goodbye.

edit: this is probably wrong section-nothing to do with unattended install.
