Hey thanks, I loved the guide. It was simple, to the point and extremely useful.

Would it be possible for you to show us how to slipstream drivers and such into the setup so that i can start an install and come back to a computer that is setup

Oops.mabye i should have real the last part of the post............sorry

I think that if you use an answer file, you can't access the recovery cosole from the cd

I wouldn't try to use any repair features for the CDs. Stick with normal slipstream CDs (not unattended ones).

Welcome to the site everyone.

Hello I have bee trying to do the unattended install for about two weeks and have gone through many cd.

I have successfully slipstreamed my cd with xp 2, i have created my unattended answers and renamed it winnt.sif and place it in the i386 folder but it stil does not work.

I am trying to do a clean install from my cd rom to my hard drive. Cd rom is D and hard drive is C. From what i have read in other places i need a winnt.bat file as well on the cd rom is this the case. What am i doing wrong.

In my i386 folder i have a batch file called winnt and it has the script D:\i386\winnt32 /s: D :\i386 /unattend: D :\i386\winnt.sif
I also have the file name winnt.sif.
