I am sure that's how I do it the first time. but I will try it again.
first prompt window
Existing File winnt.sif in xpsource is detected with setup paramaters
clicked YES
second prompt
Existing $oem$ folder in xpsource is detected used for registry tweaks and user accounts
clicked YES
third prompt
8 parameters are displayed
the 8th one First User Name for $OEM$ = None
clicked Cancel for unchange
pick number 2 and3 choose usb source and copy files to usb drive.
4th prompt
yes = copy xp + extra sources to usb-drive
no = only copy extra sources to usb-drive
picked YES
5th prompt
Filecopy to usb-drive is ready - ok - success
yes= make usb=stick in xp setup to be preferred boot drive U:
no = for mixed sata /pata config: don't change migrate.inf
picked yes.
PS. btw I got an "Produkey" auto protect from my symantec for "wintools\othertools\" but i didn't bother with it, since my main goal will be getting the xp installation to work. Don't think that's the reason.
Okay. I will let you know if everything is preserved or it's my imagination.
Thank you for your help
EDIT: doesn't work... still asking for first user name. Is there any file I can post here to help you guys help me?
reburned my cd to see if i have the right iso. the iso skips the creating first user
And when i create the nlite cd, on unattended section, I pick administrator under Users->autologon hope that helps
