I just finished my first unattended install disc, however ran into a few problems.
Every time i reboot, it gives the error:

There is a file or folder on your computer called "C:\WINDOWS" which could cause certain applications to not function correctly. Renaming it to "C:\WINDOWS1" would solve this problem. Would you like to rename it now?

I check in my computer but there is no folder named windows1 after i select to rename it. Any ideas what causes this?

Oh and I have been testing this install by using Virtual PC, also i have reformated every time I installed it. Im thinking maybe its the $OEM$ folder $$. Could that be possible?

First Edit Your Winnt.sif and take out your key.
Or did you want to share that with all of us, who have read it.
and than add this to it
   TargetPath=\WINDOWS


To here
[Unattended]
    UnattendMode=FullUnattended
    OemPreinstall=Yes
    OemSkipEula=Yes
    FileSystem=*
    WaitForReboot="No"
    ProgramFilesDir="%SYSTEMSRIVE%\Windows Programs"
    CommonProgramFilesDir="%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Windows Programs\Common Files"
