Creating a bootable WinXP CD with Unattended installation

[school1282]

I've tried searching the forum but found nothing...

Please help me!

I did the following:

1. I took a windows XP sp2 iso from the msdn.

2. I prepared an unattended winnt.sif file.

3. I put the winnt.sif file into the I386 folder of the ISO

4. I ran the ISO using VPC

5. A regular winxp installation started ignoring my unattended file.

My question is:

Do I have to add a batch file (winnt.bat) or change by any means the boot sector in order for the setup to run in unattended mode?

If so How do I do it?

I coudln't find it in the guide...

Thanks in advance,

Shabtai

I read all of it.

I didn't find anything regarding the batch file. Please just tell me if I need to add a batch file or if I am doing something else that is wrong.

You dont need a batch file.

Extract the files from the Iso using WinRAR, place winnt.sif into i386, make a bootable Iso with nLite.

I have had some inconsistant results by trying to "inject" the WinNT.sif file directly into the ISO image. That's just me, but it's best to extract the contents of the ISO, add your file(s) and then create a new ISO image.

I'm sure you've read it, but follow the guide exactly and it'll work every time.
