Leon2003 Posted September 26, 2003 Posted September 26, 2003 I've just made a unattended XP CD. When I boot my computer with it, the "Press any key to setup" is missing, instead of that, it automatically format my hard disk, and setup the window XP.I thought it was a good thing, but when the computer reboot during the setup, it automatically format my hard disk again....Is there something wrong with my code (show as below)? I want the "Press any key to setup" back, how do I do it?;SetupMgrTag[Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes"[Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS Repartition=yes OemPreinstall=Yes UnattendSwitch="Yes" WaitForReboot="No" AutoActivate=No [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=20 OemSkipWelcome=1[UserData] ProductKey=*****-*****-*****-*****-***** FullName="Leon" OrgName="Leon2003."

chon_ Posted September 26, 2003 Posted September 26, 2003 Maybe your bootsector got corrupted somehow, just extract it again from your original windowsxp cd (use isobuster) and try again, I see notyhing wrong on your winnt.sifPS If i don't recall wrong aaronxp posted it somewhere here in the forums
Aaron Posted September 26, 2003 Posted September 26, 2003 Repartition=yes should be Repartition=no if you want to format your partitions manually.
Paul 365 Posted September 27, 2003 Posted September 27, 2003 Is the file bootfix.bin still present in your build folder, if not you should replace it.
Leon2003 Posted September 27, 2003 Author Posted September 27, 2003 Is the file bootfix.bin still present in your build folder, if not you should replace it.I don't really know what that means, will you explain it to me, please?
SOOPAFLY Posted September 27, 2003 Posted September 27, 2003 bootfix.bin is a file that causes youe pc to give higher priority to booting from the HD so that it won't boot from the cd every time the installation restarts your pc. this file basically eliminated the hassle of removing the cd before the installation restarts the first time. so after the first restart your hardisk already has a boot information in it's boot section and your pc boots from the hardisk and not the cdrom
Paul 365 Posted September 27, 2003 Posted September 27, 2003 On Your Hard disk you should have your unnatended project folder called "XPCD" or something like that. In that folder should be your "I386" and "$OEM$" folders amongst others.In the "I386" folder should be a file called bootfix.bin, if that file is missing then your cd will not show the "press any key to boot from the cd" message.
scankurban Posted September 27, 2003 Posted September 27, 2003 Bootfont.bin file if missing CD boot don't ask or don't wait 5 seconds.Add root directory in the cd like setup.exe,autorun.inf
Leon2003 Posted September 28, 2003 Author Posted September 28, 2003 Actually I have bootfix.bin under c:\XPCD\i386, I can't figure out why it automatically reformat my computer and reinstall again??
