SlamDunk Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 So the two files $WIN_NT$.~LS and $WIN_NT$.~BT can be joinedtogether and called i386.Will this work!!!!!!!Or should I try it and let you know!!!!!SlamDunk
gosh Posted November 7, 2003 Author Posted November 7, 2003 nooo...Just follow my guide. LS will be called install. BT will be called BOOT. You want to place BOOT under Install. The i386 folder will be under LS folder.-gosh
Pure Krome Posted November 8, 2003 Posted November 8, 2003 I don't do pdf's, but im gonna write some guides tomorrow.Gosh, could u add some comment in the first post to this thread _OR_ start a new thread and get it locked or something, when u get aroud to this.I find your knowledge and help with all Unattended things most greatful and rewarding. Thank you kindly for your time Gosh, to helping the community. *bows low*
Pure Krome Posted November 9, 2003 Posted November 9, 2003 Gosh, your first post works like a charm...in fact, it's so **** good, i think i just figured out to get a CD INSTALL to load my Sata/Raid HD Drivers, __without___ having to hack any files (eg. txtsetup.sif, etc).more info in a new post when i've completed my testing about CD INSTALL + Raid Drivers thanks gosh.
Marztabator Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 Too....... complicated........ to........ understand........... everything............GAH.
Rahbas Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 I have made a cd with the options as Gosh stated in the second post where you choose between an unattended setup and a regular install. It works great on the unattended install but the attended install with no winnt.sif is still grabbing the cmdlines.txt from the $oem$ folder. Has anyone tried doing this with this method. Everything is working fine other than the attended setup is grabbing the cmdlines.txt at the 10 minute mark and erroring out because the $oem$ is not copied to the hard drive. In short I don't wish to have the cmdlines.txt file run at all.My cd structure is here.Folder listing of C:\INSTALL\$OEM$\ 11/10/2003 9:59:37 PM 359,171 kbI386\ 11/10/2003 9:58:01 PM 340,716 kbVOL1\ 11/13/2003 8:09:48 AM 7,081 kbVOL2\ 11/13/2003 8:09:48 AM 7,079 kbDELOAD.BIN 5/8/2001 12:35:34 PM 1 kbDISKEM1X.BIN 7/11/2001 3:59:44 PM 12 kbDISKEMU.CMD 11/13/2003 8:10:44 AM 2 kbGHOST.IMA 11/11/2003 9:22:52 AM 1,440 kbGHOSTL.IMA 11/12/2003 2:31:09 PM 1,440 kbLOADER.BIN 7/9/2001 9:13:18 AM 2 kbREADME.TXT 11/12/2003 4:03:25 PM 3 kbSPNOTES.HTM 8/23/2001 10:00:00 AM 11 kbVOL1.DAT 11/11/2003 2:07:00 PM 2 kbVOL2.DAT 11/11/2003 2:19:42 PM 2 kbWIN51 8/23/2001 10:00:00 AM 1 kbWIN51IP 8/23/2001 10:00:00 AM 1 kbWIN51IP.SP1 8/23/2001 10:00:00 AM 1 kbIf anyone know how I can get around this issue please let me know.Thanks
gosh Posted November 13, 2003 Author Posted November 13, 2003 i saw the same thing on my cd, i think that's a microsoft bug since like you say there is not unattend file being used.-gosh
Rahbas Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 Thanks for the quick reply Gosh. By the way a big thanks to Gosh for posting this thread in the first place. It has helped me do some things I didn't think was possible because of size constraints doing it the "Microsoft" way.-Rahbas
SlavUser Posted November 14, 2003 Posted November 14, 2003 My method just avoid the first file copy phase, NOTHING is installed yet. Nothing such as the HAL is determined. It's exactly the same if you booted from cd and did a clean install.I've tried your method. I 've read the whole thread and there is stiill first copy phase when I'm tring to do a clean install. What's wrong? Maybe I should create partitions with PQMagic before running install or what should I do?So "the first phase should be or not" that is the question.Thanks.
Bachus Posted November 14, 2003 Posted November 14, 2003 If you'd read the thread, I asked this very same question on page one. This method doesn't skip textmode setup, it only removes some unneeded files from i386.
gosh Posted November 14, 2003 Author Posted November 14, 2003 My Guide skips the first step of file copy in Gui mode (there's no dosnet.inf on the cd). You still have to do text mode.-gosh
teufel Posted November 14, 2003 Posted November 14, 2003 Where can i get cdimage, cdburn and dvdburn from, or at least who makes them? DaveXP's link is dead, and im not having much luck with google either, since its such a generic name...
gosh Posted November 14, 2003 Author Posted November 14, 2003 search google, i've never not found cdimage.exe from google.-gosh
teufel Posted November 14, 2003 Posted November 14, 2003 well, that makes me feel like a retard, because for the life of me i cant find somewhere to download it from.......could someone please post a site with cdimage on it?
SlavUser Posted November 15, 2003 Posted November 15, 2003 @goshThank you.I thought I've done something wrong.Now it is clear for me.
