Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Install xp

      Hi,

If you extract the contents of an XP disk to a writable location, you
can add a "winnt.sif" file to the /i386 folder to make it unattended.
I have provided mine below. Copy everything between the ** lines into
notepad and save it as winnt.sif making sure to select all files in
the type dropdown:

**begin winnt.sif file**
;SetupMgrTag
[Data]
    AutoPartition=1
    MsDosInitiated="0"
    UnattendedInstall="Yes"
AutomaticUpdates=yes

[Unattended]
    UnattendMode=FullUnattended
    OemSkipEula=Yes
    OemPreinstall=No
    TargetPath=\WINDOWS
	DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
	NonDriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
UnattendSwitch="yes"
KeyboardLayout="United Kingdom"

[GuiUnattended]
    AdminPassword="letmein"
    EncryptedAdminPassword=NO
    AutoLogon=Yes
    AutoLogonCount=1
    OEMSkipRegional=1
    TimeZone=85
    OemSkipWelcome=1

[UserData]
    ProductKey=ReplaceWithYourKey
    FullName="Personal"
    OrgName="Personal"
    ComputerName=*

[RegionalSettings]
    LanguageGroup=1
    Language=00000809

[Identification]
    JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP

[Networking]
    InstallDefaultComponents=Yes
**end winnt.sif**

You will need to change the product key value to contain your key &
you may wish to change the admin password and keyboard layout values.
Note that the partition screen of setup will not be automated using
this file as I considder this to be bad practice, especially if you
intend to use the disk on multiple systems.
Assuming that you have one partition, the key sequence to delete it,
create a partition using the unpartitioned space & start a quick NTFS
format is d, l, enter, up, up and enter.

Once you have added this file to the /i386 directory you will need to
use something like nLite to make the ISO and burn it to CD as a copy &
paste type burn won't work.

If you are struggling to follow these instructions then Winstaller may
be the best option for you.

Cheers,
Ben.
