Hi,

I have been working long on this problem. We are starting setup under DOS and have the files precopied to c:. My way to do it works under w2k3 but not under XP. I will show you my config under w2k3 and maybe you´ll see why this does not work with XP? The bluescreen shows right after the installation says: starting windows (so right at the beginning after F6 / F2).

This is my unattended.txt:

the txtsetup.oem is located at: \I386\$oem$\TEXTMODE

There are also the following files to be found:

FTSATA2.sys

FTSATA2.inf

FTSATA2.cat

Txtsetup.oem

DontGo.sys

ftsata2

ftutil2.dll

No other files changed.

My commandline for starting setup is: c:\install\i386\Winnt.exe /u:c:\unattend.txt /s:c:\install\i386

As said before, this works under w2k3 but not with XP

Please any ideas :-)

Thanks, Clemens

Do you get a BSOD 0x7b?

Idea:

CD setupldr.bin require txtsetup.oem files at

\I386\$OEM$\TEXTMODE

\$oem$\TEXTMODE

Try copy \I386\$oem$\TEXTMODE files to \$oem$\TEXTMODE

I use this metode for me work try it
