Help! Windows XP Install via BartPE

[roytheboy]

I've managed to create a few unattended install CDs which install all my apps and drivers, which is cool. However I'm now trying to improve things slightly and use BartPE to launch the install, so I can control the partitioning of the Disk etc.

The problem I've got is I run the following command to start the installation:

"%systemdrive%\XP\I386\winnt32.exe" /syspart:c: /tempdrive:c /unattend:"%systemdrive%\installs\winnt.sif" /makelocalsource

After the restart Windows installs, however the CMDLINES.TXT file isn't processed, neither is my modified SVCPACK.INF, so no Hot Fixes or Apps install.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ooop. I've resolved the issue anyhow.

It turns out the $OEM$ directory must be i386\$OEM$, when using WINNT32.EXE, and the Hot Fixes was down to the OptionalSrcDir not including the SVCPACK directory (Although it worked when booting from the CD strange but true).
