Well heres the deal i was able to do everything in the beginner users tab and i was able to install a fresh copy of XP pro heres what my WINNT.SIF file looks like:

as you can see i didnt do anything special very simple stuff. But heres where the problem come in to play. I wanted to take the next step and try putting all of my drivers in the cd also. i read and followed everything there was in the section 'Drivers via CD' and im pretty sure i did everything correctly. if i had to guess where i messed up it would probably be in this part:

[Making Changes to presetup.cmd

* Open presetup.cmd in Notepad

* Scroll down to the lines containing SetDevicePath.exe and correct the path. Change \Drivers to where you saved the files on in your source and the parameter ( %CDROM%\Drivers ) to where you saved all your driver files. Also correct the path in the line directly below it as well.]

this is wat i did

before:

%CDDRIVE%\Drivers\SetDevicePath.exe %CDDRIVE%\Drivers

start %CDDRIVE%\Drivers\WatchDriverSigningPolicy.exe

after:

C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\drivers\SetDevicePath.exe C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\drivers

start C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\drivers\WatchDriverSigningPolicy.exe

did i do this right???

so i tested the disk and everything was going great untill a error popped up in the middle of coping files

setuporb.exe not found (i think thats wat it was called)

and also setep.exe

so i wasnt able to complete the install..so if anyone of you guys have an idea plz reply..thanks you guys...

EDIT: sorry im a noobie i didnt see the driver section in the forum this post should be in there...sorry you guys

Try OemPnPDriversPath, its way easier and you can delete \$1\drivers\ folder with a smple command on first windows boot http://unattended.msfn.org/intermediate/drivers/drivers.htm

I would remove your Product key from your first post, unless you want everyone to see it........

As far as drivers, I used the Bashrats method - worked like a charm
