Title: Windows2k/XP winnt.sif + repair console possible¿
Post by: SpudGunMan on February 04, 2003, 11:36:45 PM

here is the quick and dirty

I have 2 Os\'s on 1 CD 2k and XpPro
they have a unattended script but wondering (twinkie you might have a clue on this) can i somehow add an option to run the repain console that is included with the orginal CD can i do this with the SIF file or should i do it with a external boot disk and a switch? any ideas would be kick a$$

I ran the install from a bat file within the GuiRunOnce in the winnt.sif file.

Here is the batch file:
@echo off

:: Install Recovery Console on the target PC.
:: The /unattend switch does a silent install of Recovery Console

D:
cd
cd I386
start /wait winnt32.exe /cmdcons /unattend

if not exist c:cmdconsCON echo Recovery Console Not Installed >> C:WINNTOPTIONSCABSLogFilesImgBoot.txt
if exist c:cmdconsCON echo Recovery Console Installed >> C:WINNTOPTIONSCABSLogFilesImgBoot.txt

:END
exit

this command will install it on a preexisting computer...lets say that i have a computer that will not boot ...i have my cd and would like to run the repair console right from boot...however i have a winnt.sif that will skip the \"Press R option\" how would i enable that?

I have tried all command in winnt.sif already.
and this problems seem can\'t be solved..

I think it is a bug
