leedolman Posted August 18, 2003 Posted August 18, 2003 Hi all. I'd like to create an unattended XP CD but don't know where to start or not too sure how, but I'd like to have a go.I know what I want to automatically install during the setup but not sure how to go about it, despite reading most of the posts Here's how I'd like to setup:I have 2 partitions..... C is 30GB and D is 8GBI'd like to install XP Home on the C: partitionChange all language/keyboard/time settings to United KingdomWhen setup's complete I'd like to apply my Reg hacksDisable some servicesInstall all my drivers and updated drivers (all my drivers / programs / reghacks are saved on D drive at the moment)remove msn messenger and games etc.Activate WindowsAndInstall programsIf anyone could tell me how i'd go about this, or just point me in the direction of the topics in the forum with the relevent info in I'd be VERY grateful thanks
leedolman Posted August 18, 2003 Author Posted August 18, 2003 I've used the setup manager tool to automate the actual installation of XP so far - just not sure how to automate tasks afterwards

Aaron Posted August 18, 2003 Posted August 18, 2003 Just reading about slipstreaming XP & SP1 - I presume my XP cd already has SP1 integrated as in the general tab of My Computer i have:System:Microsoft Windows XPHome EditionVersion 2002Service Pack 1Not always, that might have been installed manually after Windows XP was installed. Check your CD, do you have a file called win51ip.SP1 on it?
leedolman Posted August 20, 2003 Author Posted August 20, 2003 it is integrated as ive just tested an unattended install and it worked
