johnnyboywonder Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 dd shadowIf the 'trick' is in the difference between our listings then I cannot see it. I take it your copies files over from CD to harddrive?bledd,I do have upper case $OEM$ on the cd drive file name. Do you have any examples you could post, taking out PIDKEys, etc ?ddShadow,I read the link and I'm sure that I have the correct drive paths that is why I am looking more closely at the *.sif. Driving me bananas really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlbinoRaven Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 The root directory structure should look like this:<CDROM> \$OEM$ \$1 \MyFolder \i386Caps do matter for the $OEM$I'm using Win2K3 Enterprise.

johnnyboywonder Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 Sorry AlbinoRaven,Are you suggesting that my dir structure should be<CD ROM>\$OEM$\$1\MyFolder\I386or all off the root<CD ROM>\$OEM$<CD ROM>\$1<CD ROM>\MyFolder<CD ROM>\I386I currently have (hedging my bets)<CD ROM>\$OEM$\$1\MyFolder<CD ROM>\I386<CD ROM>\I386\$OEM$\$1\MyFolder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyboywonder Posted June 26, 2006 Author Share Posted June 26, 2006 Another thing am I supposed to use the switches at the command line(I am using winnt.exe not winnt32.exe) to tell the installation about my 'set up' files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bledd Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 give nlite a whirl mate, then edit the winnt.sif if you want extras in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyboywonder Posted June 26, 2006 Author Share Posted June 26, 2006 Yup, will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyboywonder Posted June 26, 2006 Author Share Posted June 26, 2006 Ok - that was better.However, 1. All the file names have been shortened (MS-DOS 16 bit copy thing?). Maybe I should use an XP boot disk instead of a Win98 one.2. Only the MyFolder1 & MyFolder2 directories were copied <CDROM>\I386\$OEM$\$1\MyFolder1<CDROM>\I386\$OEM$\$1\MyFolder2but the sub dirs in MyFolder2 were not copied. Anyone got any ideas on that?

AlbinoRaven Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Sorry all of the formating I did was nuked so the message definately got muddled. It should be <CD ROM>\$OEM$\$1\Myfolder<CD ROM>\i386That's it.Are you using nLite to compile the iso or are you using WinISO like a file manager?I find that Win2K3 something works better after running it in the nLite iso creator. It'll even give you the options of picking folders from your local drive and creating the $OEM$\$1 dir structure.Sorry AlbinoRaven,Are you suggesting that my dir structure should be<CD ROM>\$OEM$\$1\MyFolder\I386or all off the root<CD ROM>\$OEM$<CD ROM>\$1<CD ROM>\MyFolder<CD ROM>\I386I currently have (hedging my bets)<CD ROM>\$OEM$\$1\MyFolder<CD ROM>\I386<CD ROM>\I386\$OEM$\$1\MyFolder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbinoRaven Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Just noticed that you've got a $OEM$ under your i386 directory.The $OEM$\$1 directory has to be on the root.Nothing goes under the i386 directory. If you want something to copy stuff into the winnt directory you use the following.Cheers!\$OEM$\$$ Contains files that Win2K Setup copies to the %Windir% (e.g., C:\winnt) folder during installation.\$OEM$\$$\Help Contains custom Help files that Win2K Setup copies to the %Windir%\Help folder during installation.\$OEM$\$$\System32 Contains custom Help files that Win2K Setup copies to the %Windir%\System32 folder during installation. Ok - that was better.However, 1. All the file names have been shortened (MS-DOS 16 bit copy thing?). Maybe I should use an XP boot disk instead of a Win98 one.2. Only the MyFolder1 & MyFolder2 directories were copied <CDROM>\I386\$OEM$\$1\MyFolder1<CDROM>\I386\$OEM$\$1\MyFolder2but the sub dirs in MyFolder2 were not copied. Anyone got any ideas on that?

johnnyboywonder Posted June 27, 2006 Author Share Posted June 27, 2006 Yeah,nLite plus dvdburn.exe (windows toolkit resource) seemed to produce a much better iso image. I left the winnt.sif alone.I shall carry on hacking away at thsi for a while to see if I can work out why the sub dirs were not carried across.
