What I have been trying to do is to configure OOBE to be completely suppressed (everything answered) from my Autounattended.xml file. All that I have succeeded in doing at this point is corrupting my OOBE settings. Now I get a "could not parse or process..." error message when OOBE would normally run. Can anyone help me out? Is it even possible to fully answer the OOBE questions from the Autounattended.xml? Am I doing this the completely wrong way? Relevant XML Snippet: <settings pass="oobeSystem"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="NonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <UserAccounts> <LocalAccounts> <LocalAccount wcm:action="add"> <Name>Trainee</Name> <Group>Administrators</Group> <Password> <PlainText>true</PlainText> <Value>removed</Value> </Password> </LocalAccount> </LocalAccounts> </UserAccounts> <OOBE> <NetworkLocation>Home</NetworkLocation> <HideEULAPage>true</HideEULAPage> <ProtectYourPC>1</ProtectYourPC> <HideWirelessSetupInOOBE>true</HideWirelessSetupInOOBE> <SkipMachineOOBE>true</SkipMachineOOBE> <SkipUserOOBE>true</SkipUserOOBE> </OOBE> <DisableAutoDaylightTimeSet>false</DisableAutoDaylightTimeSet> <TimeZone>Eastern Standard Time</TimeZone> </component> </settings> I have also attached my complete Autounattended.xml Any help or ideas is greatly appreciated. Thanks. Autounattend.xml

I'm not really an expert here, but I think what you are missing is the entry to wipe the disk first: <WillWipeDisk>true</WillWipeDisk> I snagged the relevant section out of my autounattended.xml: <DiskConfiguration> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> <Disk wcm:action="add"> <DiskID>0</DiskID> <WillWipeDisk>true</WillWipeDisk> <CreatePartitions> <CreatePartition> <Order>1</Order> <Type>Primary</Type> <Size>100</Size> </CreatePartition> <CreatePartition> <Order>2</Order> <Type>Primary</Type> <Extend>true</Extend> </CreatePartition> </CreatePartitions> <ModifyPartitions> <ModifyPartition wcm:action="add"> <Label>System Reserved</Label> <Format>NTFS</Format> <Active>true</Active> <Order>1</Order> <PartitionID>1</PartitionID> </ModifyPartition> <ModifyPartition wcm:action="add"> <Label>Main</Label> <Format>NTFS</Format> <Letter>C</Letter> <Order>2</Order> <PartitionID>2</PartitionID> </ModifyPartition> </ModifyPartitions> </Disk> </DiskConfiguration>

I am very sorry to say that RASOR was XP only. I am sorry everyone has been looking for it, I thought everyone had moved on to Vista, Win7, etc a long time ago. Look at my TEXTMODE post stickied at the top of the device drivers section. RASOR was just a way to help people get TEXTMODE drivers setup using the method I described in that post. Sorry again everyone.
