Agurk Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 (edited) HelloIm trying to make an unattended install of winxp home. I ran nlite, and saved the files to C:\XPCD.And then I burned the files in C:\XPCD to an cd. When I boot with my new winxp-cd the pc dont jumpinto the windows install, it seems to dont accept the cd or dont notice its inside. Xp keep booting like thecd is not there.What could I have done wrong?(yes, cd-rom is sat as 1.boot device)PS! When I boot with my original xp-cd, the pc jumps into the windows install.

cluberti Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Sounds like the CD isn't bootable. Consider making your XP cd with nlite, and then using another method to make it bootable. I prefer the method found at the link below, but there are many ways to accomplish this.http://www.nu2.nu/bcd/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agurk Posted April 9, 2006 Author Share Posted April 9, 2006 Is there any other way? That cmd-thing was quite complicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanVM Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Well, you could always try consulting the MSFN unattended guide...http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/8/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mordac85 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 You might also want to check your BIOS settings to ensure you're able to boot from the CD before the hard drive. Many manufacturer's are shipping their systems w/the boot order set to floppy first, then the hard drive, and the CD last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
