WINNT.SIF Question

[Shahram]

I am trying to make an unattended Windows installation, But I would also like if I needed to use Recovery Consol from the CD,

But it always seems to bypass that ,

is there anyways for that to work,

I need a quick answer if possible,

Here is my WINNT.SIF, so you would know what I want to do.

[Data]
MsDosInitiated = "No"
Autopartition = 0

Hi!

Looking at ur winnt.sif file, u invoke the [GuiRunOnce] section and immediately run "Command9"? What happend to the 8 others? also, the Recovery Console can be added from just the [GuiRunOnce] section by running the Winnt32.exe /cmdcons command which will install it onto the comp. Either that or add into the WPI thing u got going in there!

Cheers.

[Shahram]

Command 9 was added automatically added by Driver Pack Integration, I didn't change it,

But it should not cause any porblems,

I know about "Winnt32.exe /cmdcons",

As you know, an attended installation of windows before partitioning the drive will ask you if you want to use the recovery consol instead (pressing R...),

That is what I am interested to have (if possible), so the CD could be used for recovery only when needed.

If I remember correctly you can achieve this by pressing f10 when it first begins the boot from CD proccess to get to the recovery console while using a unattended disk..

thanks ,

F10 certianly works, eventhough there is tip about it,
