You can slipstream your sound drivers using the instructions from the file I attached in my initial email. IMHO a better investment is a generic USB soundcard. That way XP will have plug-in play drivers and you can have sound at startup regardless of sound configuration and what machine your using. ----- Original Message ----- From: Brent Harding To: Blind sysadmins list Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2008 8:57 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Unattended XP Yep, NLite is your friend. The only trouble with it is how to remove stuff you don't want installed, JFW doesn't speak the state of the items in the list, checked or unchecked. My system might need a reformat pretty soon, I just wonder how to best get my drivers in to the install disk so I have working sound. ----- Original Message ----- From: Christopher McMillan To: Blind sysadmins list Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2008 2:22 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Unattended XP Dear Barry: Here is a product I was introduced to by my CISCO colleges' Both of these products will generate the Unattended install and burn the ISO image to your desired media.

I'm getting a bit lost with Nero v7 though. When you get to the point when you copy your XP disc files to the ISO Panel? What ISO Panel? I've attached the file I've always worked from. I'm stuck at the section reading, " Locate the folder C:\XP\CD-ROOT Select everything in the folder and copy it to the ISO compilation panel." This is on page 4. The UI's changed that much in v5 I'm getting a bit lost. Anyone help or even poitn me to instructions on how to do this using Nero 7? A brief google yealded nothing useful. Thanks, Barry. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org http://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/mailman/listinfo/blind-sysadmins ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org http://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/mailman/listinfo/blind-sysadmins __________ NOD32 2909 (20080228) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org http://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/mailman/listinfo/blind-sysadmins __________ NOD32 2909 (20080228) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com
