Skip "Press any key to boot from CD"

Hello, is there a way to skip the "Press any key to boot from CD"? I've searched around for this, but I could not find a solution. Thanks

All you have to do is to remove BOOTFIX.BIN in your i386 folder. But if your BIOS is set to boot from the CD-ROM as first, the installation process of Windows will restart at every reboot!

You could reformat your drive using a third-party reformatting tool before running the Windows install - of course, if you have a retail upgrade version of Windows you will then have to have your media handy for your original version of Windows.

Is there any way of changing the text at all?

you may be able to change the text using a HEX Editor, however the text must be THE SAME amount of characters of the current text... example:

Press any key to boot from the cd... (original 36 characters *i think* lol)

Boot from unattended CD... (this will work with 10 spaces after to make it 36 characters)

Boot from my awesome super duper unattended windows xp cd that installs every program i like. (this will NOT work as it has too many characters)
