For this I have setup my cd's with pretty much nothing but the install with service pack 1 and hotfixes slipstreamed and drivers on the first cd. On the second cd is any other apps I want to install.
In my winnt.sif I use this.
[GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\first_boot.cmd
ok that's so that I have only one cmd file to call witch does all the real work.
This is my first_boot.cmd
CLS @ECHO OFF ECHO. ECHO Ejecting CD-ROM Drives... ECHO If you are using a cd rom please remove it from ECHO the cdrom drive and If you have a second cd place ECHO it in the drive at this time please. ECHO.

Ok on the second cd you should have an install folder with everything setup in it just like you do now. Also to note that you should only have the cmd files that go with whatever you have on your second cd. For instance if you have \install\applications on the second cd like me then you should also have your applications.cmd under \install on oyur second cd.
Hope this helps others.
oh forgot here is the cd_eject.vbs
Set oWMP = CreateObject("WMPlayer.OCX.7" )
Set colCDROMs = oWMP.cdromCollection
if colCDROMs.Count >= 1 then
For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count - 1
colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject
Next ' cdrom
End If
Back to top
