I have been trying to create an unattend.xml file to deploy with a standard (non-sysprep'ed) iso image of Windows 7 SP1 Professional. I have been using WSIM to this, and using the catalog file of my Windows 7 image that was extracted to the D: drive which is specifically for PXE/Windows Deployment Services. This worked once, but my deployment server for my house has somehow broken, and the snapshot I made isn't resolving the problem. I have tried following numerous different guides, but none of them seem to work correctly. I don't want to automate the entire install process, as I want to be select the drive that is being used. But I want everything else to be automated, so after I choose the drive, it automatically boots into my account after I finish. After customizing specific things, I validate the XML and it does not return an error, so I am really confused. Could someone assist me and tell me what I am doing wrong and link me to the proper way to do it please? Just overly frustrated at the moment, because I have tried rebuilding the image, three times, and because I deployed my main desktop thinking that nothing was broken with it, I am now without my main machine, and am working off a sketchy laptop that BSOD's at least once a day. I took out the product key, and encrypted password (and non-encrypted password). I really appreciate any help that anyone could give me. Thank you. unattend.xml
