Title: Windows XP Pro/Home CD
Post by: Swifty on August 02, 2002, 03:55:33 PM

I was wondering how to do this because through that multi-os thread, it was very confusing what you\'re talking about with alot of people in the convo, can someone write a tutorial or something?

I have actually created a multiboot cd w/ XP Home and Pro on it by following the instructions here: http://tech-hints.com (http://\"http://tech-hints.com\")

This guy tells you how to do almost everything!!!

But I am having problems with the unattended install of both.  I would like to have the unattend run from the cd instead of floppies. Anyone hear about doing this?

Well, you must put the file winnt.sif into the i386 folders and thats it. (del the unattend.txt)

If your following the guide and have created the folders that contain the data from the floppys you need to put winnt.sif (unattend.txt) in these folders.

By default 2000 searches the Floppy then the I386 folder for winnt.sif and then uses it just like unattend.txt.  I normally put it in the I386 folder though.  It should go there if using a bootable CD.  However if you want to test your winnt.sif file boot off your original CD with a floppy in your A: drive.  Make sure the floppy is not bootable and has your winnt.sif file.  I had to do that a few times to speed things up before making a custom CD.
