You need this under: [unattended]UnattendSwitch="yes"add this too your code and it should solve alot of problems! Also, Go to this link here and read... Unattend Guide (Drivers) Peace

Check this out! (Very Informative!!!) Site Here Microsoft Article Also, look @ XtremeMaCs' post Post on configuring "Power Scheme"

Becareful with: Vrefresh=75Old monitors do not support an high hertz refresh rate. I suggest 60 hertz. You will not notice the difference. If it is set too high the monitor will not be viewable and setting it low will add life to your monitor. Ranges: 56;60;75;85 Peace How do blonde brain cells die? Alone.

@ yoporch I read on this forum somewhere that you can not keep the setup from saying: If you do, it will send the boot into a countinous loop. Just press one time and leave alone. Of course if an end user sees the message he/she will probably keep pushing keys... I see your concern, it is one of my own...I will research this more and if you find anything, let me know! Peace What do you call a blond with half a brain? Gifted!!!

[Data] AutoPartition=1 or 0 If you have the selection on 1 then Windows Setup will install the OS on any free partition that is available. If you remove this line or if you put AutoPartition=0 then setup will ask you on which partition you wish to install Windows onto and advises you what to do if your partition already contains an OS. If you put: [Data]AutoPartition=1 then, it will put the operating system on a free partition, automatically. But, you want it on D: I suggest reformating and partitioning your HDD as so: C: primary 16gb NTFS WinXP D: logical 2gb FAT16 DOS E: logical78gb NTFS Data and put it on C: instead. I will also search the forum. I read something on this, but I dont remember where it is. Will post again once I find the info... Post: This link has some good ideas as well ---> Forum Post

WINNT.sif Commands List

since you mentioned dahotfix.log file. I searched and found mine as well. Seems that mine is not loading either. My log file states the same thing as yours. I was thinking that they all loaded b/c update said i was ok, So I will be working on this problem as well. If you have any breakthrews, let me know. Peace "More than any other job, master control is about immediate consequences..."

Make sure your patch executable is named the same as what you are calling it in your svcpack.inf and put your patches in numerical order, like so: [setupHotfixesToRun]JS56NEN.EXE /Q:A /R:NMDAC.CMDQ327979.EXE /q /n /zQ328213.EXE /q /n /zQ329048.EXE /q /n /zQ329909.EXE /q /n /zQ331953.EXE /q /n /zQ811789.EXE /q /n /zQ813862.EXE /q /n /zQ815485.EXE /q /n /zQ816979.EXE /q /n /zQ816981.EXE /q /n /zQ816982.EXE /q /n /zKB823182.EXE /Q /O /N /ZKB824105.EXE /Q /O /N /ZKB824141.EXE /Q /O /N /ZKB825119.EXE /Q /O /N /ZKB826939.EXE /Q /O /N /ZWMP9MM2.EXEKB828026.EXE /Q /O /N /ZKB828035.EXE /Q /O /N /ZKB828741.EXE /Q /O /N /ZQ831167.EXE /Q:A /R:NKB832894.EXE /Q:A /R:NKB835732.EXE /Q /O /N /ZKB837001.EXE /Q /O /N /ZQ837009.EXE /Q:A /R:NQCHAIN.EXEDX9NTOPK.exeThis is an example of -----> Windows XP HE

Check where you put the hotfix and see if it is named correctly there: Example: ENU or ENG (on the front of the name...) Make sure these co-inside with what you have it named in your files. When I downloaded mine I had to change the first 3 letters of the hotfix.

MrBoss, after installing the system, boot it up, and when your in windows, log off(Do Not Shutdown), and try to log back on as administrator. Does it Que you for a PW, if so, type in ----> "" Does that log you in? Let me know what happens and I'll get back to ya...

You can download that new MDAC and get instructions on how to install it from here ----->> Unattend Guide on MDAC Make sure to name it correctly in both places and put the EXE in the correct DIR. Hope this helps Example of MDAC.CMD @echo off ECHO.ECHO Installing Q832483 Buffer overrun in an MDAC function could allow code executionstart /wait %systemdrive%\install\hotfixes\ENG_Q832483_MDAC_X86.EXE /C:"dahotfix.exe /q /n" /qEXIT

Cool, many thanks gosh...

do you have an SVCPACK.inf file? Put spaces (Q823718.exe /Q:A /R:N)

Take out (AutoPartition=1) and put in [unattended] Repartition=Yes and on unattendswitch, put "" around YES and remove (FileSystem=ConvertNTFS); it will choose NTFS automatically. The order could make a difference also; this is mine and it works perfectly! ;SetupMgrTag[Data] MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" [unattended] Repartition=Yes UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes UnattendSwitch="Yes" WaitForReboot="No" TargetPath=\WINDOWS [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=85 OemSkipWelcome=1This will format,partition,choose NTFS, and begin the unattended install for XP.
