highv0ltage Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Hello, I purchased the upgrade of XP Pro and whenever I try to do an unattended install, it doesn't work because it tries to look for a previous version of windows first. Is there anyway I skip this, or slipstream a portion of Windows 98 in the install. Any help would be appreciated, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bezalel Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Create a file \win98\setup.exe on your CD. The contents aren't important, if setup finds this file it thinks it found a Windows 98 CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highv0ltage Posted January 28, 2006 Author Share Posted January 28, 2006 Well, that didn't seem to work. It's still asking for a CD from a previous version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
