azaze1 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I've got a strange problem affecting only one machine (my own workstation).Let me say first of all that I'm using a multiboot environment, so my SetupSourcePath for XP Pro is \SETUP\XP\Professional\For whatever reason, when I burn my unattended ISO, I get a TON of file not found errors at the start of GUI mode (T-39 minutes). It allows me to browse for the file, and upon doing so it shows me that the path it is looking for is my cdrom drive's root. In my case H:\I could never figure out WHY it is doing this when I have my txtsetup.sif setup correctly, and any ISO I burn works and installs just fine on every machine at my work. When I try it on my home machine, I have to type H:\SETUP\XP\Professional and copy it and paste it about 200 times to get through a window install.Upon further investigation after install, I notice the following my my C:\WINDOWS\system32\$winnt$.inf[Data]floppylessbootpath=noproducttype=winntstandardserverupgrade=nowinntupgrade=nowin9xupgrade=nowin31upgrade=nosourcepath=\device\cdrom0\SETUP\XP\Professional\AutomaticUpdates=YesAutoPartition=0MsDosInitiated=0UnattendedInstall=yesdospath=H:\EVERY single other machine has these two paths matching as it should. This is why (on my home machine only) I cannot get windows installed properly when the I386 dir is not at the root. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

mazin Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I'd suggest you format your system drive prior to installing Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azaze1 Posted July 21, 2006 Author Share Posted July 21, 2006 I always do. In fact I even removed all partitions from the physical drive and did a slow (not quick) format just to be on the safe side. Didn't make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazin Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Really, sorry!The problem sounds like hardware differences between your PC and the others. This is why I suspected the HDD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest matthewt Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 For burning unattended ISOs info, see http://www.myktm.com/portal/post-342916.html Burn On Successfully! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benners Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Have you edited SETUPLDR.BIN to point to your i386 folder?, do all the others installs use the same SetupSourcePath ?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
