Demented Hacker Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 I've made an unattended install disk based on the guide. I've just tried to install it and the text-mode section seemed to go alright, but it keeps rebooting whenever I try to boot into the GUI mode.Can someone help me out of this?

Doc Symbiosis Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 (edited) Do you have integrated additional SATA drivers? This problem occurs, if you don't have integrated the SATA drivers in a right way or if you try to add them from a disk while performing an unattended setup. I suggest to disable the automatic restart, when a BSOD occurs, with the following regkey:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl]"AutoReboot"=dword:00000000 Edited June 2, 2006 by Doc Symbiosis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T D Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Do you mean it keeps booting from the cd every time? This happened to me when I disabled "press any key to boot from cd" message.If it keeps booting from cd everytime, remove the cd after turning your pc on and put it in when gui setup has a cd error and asks you to put it in.@doc How do you apply a regtweak when you can't go into gui mode?

Demented Hacker Posted June 2, 2006 Author Share Posted June 2, 2006 Here is what happens:I insert the cd into my cd-rom drive. It boots into text mode. It installs perfectly fine and restarts the computer. When it reboots, it says "press any key to boot from cd", which I don't do. I go to a blue screen (not BSOD) and it looks like its loading up the GUI. But, it just spontaneously restarts. This time it comes up with the splash screen with "Windows XP" in the corner and says, "Setup is now restarting.....................", goes to the initial blue screen, restarts and does it again.I don't have any integrated SATA drivers, so it isn't that.

T D Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 (edited) Ah, I get it.Is there any way to flash or reinstall your bios in 16bit mode by booting from a cd?Why don't you try a bartpe cd and a bios flasher and see if that helps?http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/Just in case you don't know, bartpe makes a windows cd or dvd that allows you to boot directly into 32bit windows. So no installation or any crap, though the whole windows dir is on the cd. It creates a ramdrive, so you should have at leat 256mb ram.And it's a great emergency bootdisk.Or it could be hdd corruption and there are errors reading off it. If it is, you'll have to format again. Edited June 3, 2006 by T D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demented Hacker Posted June 4, 2006 Author Share Posted June 4, 2006 (edited) I fixed the problem now. I forgot to add a couple of lines for the presetup.cmd and setuporg.exe files in the txtsetup.sif file.

T D Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 So setup.exe (the drivers one) executed but setuporg.exe didn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
