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.
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.

Beth, lol *bonks self on head* All ya need do is tab to CD ROM Boot in the CD selection list and wack enter. It's been a very very long day. I've still got my chest infection and went into work today and what a day it was. When you hit return you're in the Explorer style Window and can copy the files over. You go back into burn with ctrl b and can write the disk. ----- Original Message ----- From: Beth Hatch To: 'Blind sysadmins list' Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2008 8:17 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Unattended XP Hello Barry and all, I got stuck at the same point that you did while using Nero.

I did this for the last tech job I worked, but I can't remember how I did it
offhand. I do remember I had to ignore the documentation at that point and
play with it until I got it figured out. I'll have a look again within the
next couple days and see if I can remember just how I made it work.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A good rule of thumb is to unplug any storage from the local machine that is not needed during an install. Many's a tech has wiped out their own data or worse anothers. I only leave the System drive connected.
