August 31, 200620 yr is it possible to run windows setup directly from the hard drive?i have two hard drives, and when I try to boot from the hard drive containing windows installation files, i get an "operating system not found" message.please advise,thanks in advance
August 31, 200620 yr I think you need to get a win98 boot disk, boot into cmd prompt, the run the setup.exe of the setup from cmd line. www.bootdisk.com for a win98 boot disk.
August 31, 200620 yr The file you run at the DOS prompt is i386\winnt.exe. Note: not winnt32.exe. Setup.exe can't be run from DOS either. Edited August 31, 200620 yr by redxii
August 31, 200620 yr Assuming you also want it done unattended (since you ask this in the UA forum), you'll need additional switches. e.g.WINNT /s:Z:\i386 /u:Z:\unattend.txt
August 31, 200620 yr Author its an nLite-ed installation, with fullunattended option selected. do i still need those switches?
August 31, 200620 yr Yes, you still need those switches. Also, you need to adapt paths (by Takeshi) to your own.
