Dear Brent and List:I will look into this on a couple of my VM builds to see what would happen. In regards to your external drive, I don't have any answer on that but am surveying the forum lists as we speak to see if anything pops up. All I can say is that on my test machine I have it dual booting from a Debian Server / XP Box. I have two USB drives connected and when I did the unattended backup on my VM workstation first to see what would happen, it did not recognize any of these partitions. So practice is one thing and your production unit is another. If i find anything I will let you and the list know. Sincerely,

OK, I haven't tried System Access to go, as it may work properly. The main idea works if you use something like easyvmx.comto configure an empty VMWare setup and use player to install it. It will probably complain about activation in 30 days as I just wanted to test the disk's functionality that way so I don't make my machine useless until I get a sighted person to finish it. Will I need to physically unplug my external drive I use for backup of my data and downloads so unattended doesn't reformat it? I can't seem to find the winnt.cif file that NLite created to tell what it will really do to maybe tweak it a little.

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.

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 used these tools to complete an installation to VM Workstation 6.02 to allow for AT testing with SP1 for VISTA and SP3 for Windows RC2.

Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Unattended XP

Hi Folks,

I've created several of these in the past.

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.

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.
