dansar Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Hello everybody,Until now I was using special CD-Rom for Automatic install of Windows XP.But I found that whe can use winnt.sif on a 3.½ disk with a normal CD of Windows XP.While installing the program check the 3.½ disk and if it find a winnt.sif file, it will use the informations of this file, in case of booting and install from the Windows CD.In this case it is very easy to change a few parameters like the owner, company or computer names or like networks parameters : IP address and so on.What I would like to do now it’s to go further and while using the normal CD (standard), and a 3.½ disk, if it is possible for example to use some cmd and reg files on the 3.½ disk, also if it is possible to use an other CD to put some OEM drivers etc.How can I indicate the path to the files on the 3.½ disk and for the other CD ?May be it is possible to make a combination of the Automatic CD and the winnt.sif file on the 3.½ disk.Thanks in advance for any help.Dansar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortis42 Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 You could probably set the winnt.sif to direct your GuiRunOnce to A:\batch.cmd instead of %systemdrive%\install\batch.cmd since A:\ are universally 3.5 inch floppy drives.You could direct any command to the A:\ as long as you have room on your floppy for the files. All my batch and reg files and my winnt.sif are only 13.5k so I doubt you would ahve space contraints on those.Directing your install for another CD I'm sure must be possible. I remember haveing two install disks for my Compaq Demo computers that ran all as part of the initial windows installation. I put in one, answered a couple questions about my store and it would install silently until it needed the second CD. Then it prompted me and once I inserted it is completed the install set up the demo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
