Hello Barry and all,
I got stuck at the same point that you did while using
Nero. I'm not positive, but I think the writer of this documentation was
using an older version of Nero so perhaps the copying of files is a bit
different. I was attempting to make one of these bootable xp disks for the
unattended installation for a job and I never was able to figure out how to make
it work either. I tried a different burning program but it didn't give me
the booting options that Nero does. This has been a big stumbling block
for me while I've been seeking employment. I've looked into installing the
windows xp to a server so that I could run the installation via network instead,
but I've never been able to get that working either. I've tried Ghost and
some other imaging programs, the version of Ghost for the job I mentioned
earlier was the old dos version and I wasn't able to get a dos screen reader to
work with it since the dos in the Ghost program appeared to be a graphical dos
and wouldn't talk. If I could make the unattended installation work with
an answer file, this would help in installing Vista, Server 2003, and others as
well.
If anyone has any information as to how this can be done,
I've actually heard something about being able to do an unattended installation
of Windows using a Linux program, I would be most interested in hearing about
it.
Thanks for listening and sorry I could not be more
helpful.
Best Regards,
Beth
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.
