chiners_68 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I use syspre on 520's & image with powerquest drive image without a problem,you dont need the mass storage section for the same PC's. can you post your sif file minus your OEM key etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bakkee Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Isn't the kickoff of minisetup not 'just' a special sort of shell replacement in the registry ?I should focus on the issue why this is not beiing removed... Is there something wrong with the registry in the image (corrupt or something) ? Perhaps someone is able to give some suggestions on logfiles in this stadium.Are you able to mount the 'image' registry in regedit ? Succes !

chiners_68 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Firstly I would download the latest XP deployment pack to get the latest sysprep. i did this the other day & it solved one of my outstanding issues. it might yours. remove all the mass storage & pnp driver stuff you dont need it if your creating an image from a dell gx520 for other dell gx520's. Its only something extra that could be causing the problem. run mini setup & reseal. dont select any other options other than shutdown or reboot.here is a copy of my sif file which you might identify a problem from comparing to yours.;SetupMgrTag[unattended]OemPreinstall=Yes WaitForReboot=No OemSkipEula=Yes TargetPath="\windows" InstallFilesPath ="c:\i386"[GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=85 OemSkipWelcome=1[userData] ProductID=OEM No FullName="Test" OrgName="Test"[setupMgr] DistFolder=C:\i386 DistShare=windist[TapiLocation] CountryCode=44 AreaCode=01753[identification] JoinDomain=Test[Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes[RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 Language=00000809[branding] BrandIEUsingUnattended=Yes[Proxy] Proxy_Enable=0 Use_Same_Proxy=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
