  1. Are you trying to build an unattend Windows XP install? Or, a disc to run recovery applications. The purpose of the PE part is to aid in the limittaions in the unattend install script of Windows. I think the main limittation is that if you want multiple partitions on a single drive you can't truly have an complete hands off install Windows XP. That's where the PE comes in. By booting up to the PE environment you can use DiskPart to create your partitions and while using the rights commands in your unnatend.txt file you can create a completely hands off install. I haven't quite gotten all the bugs worked out but when I do I will post my batch files and the directory listing.
  2. I created a BartPE CD in order for me to partition the drive that way I need, just like explained at the beginning of this thread. Once BartPE starts I am able to partition and format the drives as needed. I start the Windows XP install using the command line syntax as the main post but I am experiencing file copy errors when copying the CD Source to the local hard drive. I first thought it was a bad burn so I re-created the CD multiple times but the problem keeps occurring but it doesn't happen on the same file it they are different. The XP source I'm using is not nLit'ed it's directly from the CD. However, I did remove all of the folders except for ASMS, COMPDATA, DRW and SYSTEM32. Otherwise all of the file are present. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks in Advance! [Edit] The problem was the CD. I used a different CD and it installed with no problems [/Edit]
  3. I tried your method of deployment as described in your original post, but I'm experiencing a strange error. I get File copy errors with a specific message of incorrect function. I know what you are thinking, "That's easy it's a bad CD burn". That is what I thought at first also. I've recreated the CD about 4 times, recopied my XPSP1 CD to my source location. The files that produce the errors have not been consistent. ie., mstsc.exe, mstsc.hlp, shell32.dll, shfolder.dll Does anyone have sugestions to look for to try to troubleshoot the problem. I am using the makelocalsource switch.
  4. I started to use the nLite utility to create my bootable ISO file and ever since I have not had the problem. Apparently the boot.img file I was using previously was casuing my problems. Thanks, to all who have responded.
  5. I am positive I'm using a VLM CD. The company I work for has a Volume license agrement and I'm using that media. I also modified my Winnt.sif file to include both the UnattendSwitch and Win9xUpgrade values to avail. Could my problem be with the boot.img and volume label on the CD? I'm using the boot.img file from CDImage program found here on the site. The CD volume label is XRMPVOL_EN. This is the same label on the original media.

  7. I attempted to create an unttended install CD using Volume Media. When I go and use it I get the following error message. Setup cannot find a previous version of Windows installed on your computer. To continue, Setup needs to verify that you qualify to use this upgrade product. What did I do wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
