Instructions for Creating a bootable unattended install XP CD with extra drivers and integrated XP1

* note if you do not want to integrate SP1 into this CD because you have a slow connection and don't want to download it or for any reason, just omit the steps concerning SP1 and integrating it into the root folder and use the Winnt.sif  contained in the Floppy&NoExtraSoundDriver.zip folder instead, all else will be the same.
*Note if you wish to use a regular XP CD unmodified, and a floppy to install then see the instructions contained in the Floppy&NoExtraSoundDriver.zip folder instead.
* Instructions for use are at the end of this document
*Warning, this answer file is for XP only.  It has to be the full install CD. It will not work with an upgrade CD either; it must be the full install CD.
*Warning, this will completely wipe out your C drive and repartition it.
*Warning, if you have your hard drive partitioned off into more than one partition it will delete all partitions and create one large partition.
*Warning, remove your jaws key from your hard drive before using this answer file.
*Warning, back up all your data before using this answer file because your C drive will be completely wiped out, repartitioned and formatted.

First open the WDR Winnt.sif file with note pad, and replace the X's with your information and press control plus S to save.
Now rename it to Winnt.sif.
You will need the following items:

1.) A copy of the original Windows XP CD or ISO
2.) Network Installation of SP1 for Windows XP (available:
Here)
http://microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/servicepacks/sp1/network.asp
(133MB)
3.) The boot file 
(bootfiles.zip) Included.

4.) CD Recording Software (
I suggest Nero
http://www.ahead.de/
Easy CD creator should work, however I cannot seem to get it to work right, so use this only if you do not have access to Nero.
http://www.roxio.com/
5.) A computer with a CD burner running Windows 2000 or Windows XP (Home/Professional). Will not work on Windows 9x 
6.) Optional) the updated Windows XP SP1 deploy.cab (available:
Here)
http://microsoft.com/WindowsXP/pro/downloads/servicepacks/sp1/deploytools.asp
(1.7MB)
7.) The included Winnt.sif file you modified with your information.
8.) The free version of the program WinDrvExpert.exe from (http://www.zhangduo.com/), included here.

1. Create a folder called XP on your hard drive (C: is used in this example). A minimum of 800MB is required. In this folder create three sub-folder called
CD-ROOT, XP-BOOT, and XP-SP1. 
2. Copy the entire Windows XP CD (or extract the ISO) into folder CD-ROOT.
Optional Step 1: Rename or delete C:\XP\CD-ROOT\SUPPORT\TOOLS\deploy.cab.

Optional Step 2: Copy the downloaded xpsp1deploytools_en.cab to the folder 

C:\XP\CD-ROOT\SUPPORT\TOOLS\.
Optional Step 3: Rename xpsp1deploytools_en.cab to deploy.cab.
Created.
3. Copy your Service Pack 1 file into C:\XP

4. Rename the Service Pack file to XP-SP1.EXE

5. Click Start > Run...

Type in the following command in the Open text box:
C:\XP\XP-SP1.EXE /U /X:C:\XP\XP-SP1

Click the OK button.

When extraction is complete, click the OK button.

6. To apply the Service Pack 1 to the Windows XP in CD-ROOT

Click Start > Run...

Type in the following command in the Open text box:
C:\XP\XP-SP1\UPDATE\UPDATE.EXE /S:C:\XP\CD-ROOT

Click the OK button.

When integrated install has completed successfully, click the OK button.

8. Extract the included BootSector file (boot.bin) from bootfiles.zip, 
In to the folder C:\XP\XP-BOOT

9. Copy your modified Winnt.sif file into the C:\XP\CD-ROOT\I386 folder.
10. Now,  Create a Folder in the CD-ROOT called $oem$\$1\install\drivers
During text-mode Setup, these folders and files are copied to \C:\install\drivers
11. Now extract the program WinDrvExpert.exe to your desktop and hit enter on WinDrvExpert.exe.
When in WinDrvExpert.exe , tab to collect and hit the space bar, now find your sound card driver in the list then tab and click on make, while focused on your sound card driver in the list and take note of where the files are saved, it will probably be C:\My Drivers\Name of Driver.
12. Now go to the file you just created (probably C:\My Drivers\Name of sound card).  Copy the contents of the driver folder  into the D:\XP\CD-ROOT\$oem$\$1\install\drivers folder, there should be no subfolders under the drivers folder, only the actual driver files you copied go in the driver folder.

* Note: During GUI-mode Setup when the system is searching .inf files for Plug and Play IDs, it also looks in the paths that are noted in the OemPnPDriversPath
And the standard default path of %WinDir%\Inf. The %WinDir%\Inf path is listed first in the search order, so   if windows already includes drivers it will not work if you want to update the drivers it already has, this procedure is only for sound cards that windows does not have native drivers for. If your windows already includes drivers for your sound card, then you can just copy your Winnt.sif file into the I386 folder without the modifications to the Winnt.sif file done here and omit the D:\XP\CD-ROOT\$oem$\$1\install\drivers folder, all else is the same.

*Note if you are using a sound Blaster live, you must use the original drivers for this card  created by Creative, for the initial unattended install, not the gateway drivers; you can update the drivers with the gateway drivers after you get windows installed.  When windows tries to install The gateway drivers it cannot tell that they are the correct drivers for that card because they were not written by Creative, so it will not install them without clicking on install anyway, this is different from the driver signing policy, so it cannot be resolved in the answer file.  

Making the CD
Below is with Nero version 5, which I suggest. Easy CD creator supports making bootable CD's, but I did not have any luck getting one to work using Easy CD creator, none the less I have included Instructions for Easy CD creator at the end of this document, if your brave, and patient.

Now to use it, you must have your CD set to boot before your hard drive, it does not matter with this one, if the floppy is first as long as there is no disk in it. And the CD is before the hard drive.
* remove your jaws key and back up your data before starting. The whole disk will be partitioned and formatted.
Now insert the CD you just made into your CD drive then turn your computer completely off. Wait until you do not hear the hard disk spinning any longer. Now turn on your computer and start tapping the space bar slowly for about one minute or till you hear the CD spinning up and down and doing it's thing. This is necessary because it will say press any key to boot from CD as soon as the computer comes back on, so in order for it to boot from the CD, you must do this. If it does not take the first time, turn off your computer and start over.
  Now it will start the setup and pull the information such as the CD key etc. off of the Winnt.sif file in the I386 folder.  The XP music will start playing when it is done.
 After you hear the music hit the windows key plus the letter U to bring up the utility manager. This will also bring up narrator.  If you get stuck in the utility manager and cannot close it, hit alt plus F4 until it closes.
8.  Now alt tab till you get to the XP startup screen and enter your name and hit next.  Choose no to the screens that ask you if you want to set up your internet now and if you want to activate now, this can be done after you install jaws.  Hit finish on the last screen.  Windows will now restart and narrator should still be on, if not hit windows key plus U again to bring it up.
  Remove the XP CD then reboot and install jaws.
