Hi,

First of all a big THX to Aaron and all others that have make the project and the board.

I have some questions regarding XP unattended project:

1. How can I disable Hibernation

2. How can I install a driver without setup

ex: I have a Skystar2 PCI card and the only files in driver section are:

skynet.sys and

skynet.inf

3. How can I set the pagefile to a fixed one for exemple 1000M .

BTW. What's the best size, type and location for pagefile . I have only one

HDD 60G with 4 partitions and 512M Ram.

any help apreciated THX

regards

alex

Just point the driver section in your winnt.sif to the directory where the skynet.inf is located.

Put:

Hibernation = No

under [unattended] in winnt.sif

I'm not sure if you can define page file sizes during an unattended setup.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]

"PagingFiles"=

Set your Paging Size, check this key and export the value

I recommend you to create a 1GB Fat Partition for your swap file e set it to 400MB if you have 512MB

THX to all.

@ Igor

If I understand well, I must create a 1G FAT32 partition and create there a fixed pagefile of 400M . Here I have one question : where to put the 1G partition ? I have c: 10G, d: 20G, e: 20G, f: 10G , all NTFS . Right after C: or after D: ? I think after d: is better because is in the middle of NTFS phisical drive. But you may have a better experience , so please tell me the right choice.

THX

regards

I have created my Fat partition just after C: I use this partition also for my temp files but you can decrease the size. If you have a multiboot OS you can use the same paging file for all Windows OS
