OK, I haven't tried System Access to go, as it may work properly. The main idea works if you use something like easyvmx.com to 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. ----- Original Message ----- From: christophermcmillan@hotmail.com To: Blind sysadmins list Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2008 3:08 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] NLite with JFW Dear Brent: Well I will have to look at again with JFW 8 and 9.

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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ 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
