/sad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':(\' /> BTW, my bootable XP CD-ROM is unreadable, so I\'m forced to copy the entire CD to HDD and install from DOS. This being the case, do I need to put the $oem$ folder under the i386 directory?\"UNATTEND.TXT\" File:

$oem$ Folder Root:
CMDLINES.TXT
mpsetup.exe
msjavwu.exe
According to several articles I\'ve read, the $oem$ folder should be copied to the %SystemDrive%$WIN_NT$.~LS directory during text-mode setup. As I mentioned earlier, I think the solution lies in the initial location of the $oem$ folder. Installing XP from DOS, I didn\'t put $oem$ under i386 but alongside it like this:
D:wxpsp1$oem$
D:wxpsp1i386
Perhaps it should be this:
D:wxpsp1i386$oem$
Another thing I noticed is \"Hibernation\" was enabled when in fact I disabled it - see \"unattend.txt\". Any ideas on this? I don\'t plan on reinstalling XP again just yet; but any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I replied to your post on neowin but u just ignored it. If you want help, you need to listen to those that try to help you.

To both:
The documentation for hibernation for xp is wrong. Download the updated xp sp1 deploy tools to get the correct documentation.

/smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' /> I made several (minor) changes and added a .cmd file to install Microsoft VM 5.0.3809 -$OEM$ Folder Structure (for XP DOS install):
D:wxpsp1i386$oem$cmdlines.txt
D:wxpsp1i386$oem$msjavwu.cmd
D:wxpsp1i386$oem$msjavwu.exe
D:wxpsp1i386$oem$mpsetup.exe
MSJavWU.CMD File:
msjavwu.exe /c:\"javatrig.exe /exe_install /l /q /qq\" /q:a /r:n
CMDLINES.TXT File:
[commands]
\"cmd /q /c .msjavwu.cmd\"
\".mpsetup.exe /Q:A /R:N\"
BTW, anyone know how to disable the WMP setup program from doing a System Restore check? If not, then nevermind... I\'ll just have to install it using GuiRunOnce (see below) instead of cmdlines.txt to avoid a message box that appears when S.R. isn\'t turned on -- which is obiviously the case during windows setup.
$OEM$ Folder Structure (for XP DOS install):
D:wxpsp1i386$oem$cmdlines.txt
D:wxpsp1i386$oem$msjavwu.cmd
D:wxpsp1i386$oem$msjavwu.exe
D:wxpsp1i386$oem$$1appsmpsetup.exe
UNATTEND.TXT File:
[GuiRunOnce]
Command0=\"%SystemRoot%appsmpsetup.exe /q:a /r:n\"
CMDLINES.TXT File:
[commands]
\"cmd /q /c .msjavwu.cmd\"
MSJavWU.CMD File:
msjavwu.exe /c:\"javatrig.exe /exe_install /l /q /qq\" /q:a /r:n
The Hibernation option - unattend.txt - does NOT work on my desktop computer. Even though I\'ve got it set to disabled, this feature is automatically enabled in the Power Options control panel. Maybe it\'s a windows bug? Or perhaps it\'s my computer that\'s the culprit... Any thoughts on what may be causing this?
P.S. - Why is it that everytime I install XP from DOS there\'s always a 2 minute pause at the \"Please wait while Setup copies files to your hard disk\" blue screen? I\'ve noticed this since day one and it has happened on every machine I\'ve performed a DOS installation. Win2K never had this problem... Is there a reason?

Did I offend you or something? Please read my response here (if you haven\'t already done so). I didn\'t even see your reply on Neowin until after I managed to solve the problems I was having ... For the record, I didn\'t ignore your post or anybody else\'s. What\'s the point of participating in a public forum if I\'m going to \"ignore\" everyone and everything that\'s said?! C\'mon now ...

Of course -- but at the sametime, I try to come up with my own solutions. And that\'s exactly what happened. I think there\'s a big misunderstanding going on here... BTW, thanks for the hiber info.
