MGadAllah Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I'm afraid that I do not know what do you mean exactly, because every thing in unattended setup can be handled, can you get any snap shot of what do you mean exactly, I mean install your copy on VMWare or any other toll, and print screen what you are talking bout?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethanmcf Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 No i cannot, becuase the Installation is done via Sysprep and copied using Norton Ghost, so im a bit stuck there, ill google it, and see if i can get a pic for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if this can be done but System Builders are not allowed to distribute external recovery media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use it when rebuilding a customer's PC but you can't give them the CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
