[edizh]

so, can anybody share cdimage 2.46?

thanx.

[The_Flames]

the only thing new about 2.37 is the addition of DVD iso creation, I believe the older versions will work just as well for cd\'s

[rickjh]

I\'m getting the same thing as earlb....

Setup cannot find the End User Licensing Agreement (EULA)
Setup cannot continue, To quit, press F3.

The file is there (inside each /i386/ dir...)

I\'m using the method from twinkie\'s page, with Bart\'s updated \'w2kall.bin, so dirs are /ASRV/i386     /WPRO/i386/  etc.
It doesn\'t use the UENGLISH structure.

Any ideas?

btw, thanks to everyone involved in all the info given here http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'\' />

Try using unattended setup. When booting directly from a CD using a file called winnt.sif (textfile) on a floppy or a *.txt file when using winnt.exe or winnt32.exe. The winnt.sif can be integrated on the CD, you have the instructions earlier in this thread.

In the [Unattended] section there has to be a key OemSkipEula with the value \"Yes\". Like this:

[Unattended]
OemSkipEula=\"Yes\"

Read more about this in the Unattended.doc. I think it is on the original CD under SupportTools within the deploy.cab.

I know that the HighPoint Technologies HPT370  drivers are built into XP, does anyone know of a way to incorprate  these drivers into the 2k  3-1 cd, so installing directly to a HighPoint raid device is possable and eliminating the need for the \"magic\" floppy disk

I\'m sure it shhould be posable as XP has the drivers build in!

[Fjellu]

\"magic\" floppy disk If you mean pressing F6 in the beginning, yes there is a way.

Put the files Hpt3xxNT.inf, Hpt3xxNT.sys and Txtsetup.oem into the $OEM$Textmode folder. Then in winnt.sif the following sections:

[MassStorageDrivers]
\"Hpt370 UDMA/ATA100 RAID Controller for Win2000\"=\"OEM\"

[OemBootFiles]
Hpt3xxNT.inf
Hpt3xxNT.sys
Txtsetup.oem

Then you have have to modify the [disks] section txtsetup.oem so it points to the distribution point and of course OemPreinstall=Yes in the [Unattended] section

[Asterix]

Use Linux instead of that piece of [censored]

[Sic1Nine]

In addition to the files mentioned by Fjellu, you should also verify if there is a *.cat file available for the HPT370 and copy it also to the Txtmode folder.

Also there is a very important modification in the [disks] section of the Txtsetup.oem file you will also have to make in order for this to work.  You must replace the backslash \"\" in the path with a period \".\" .  Without this modification there will still be a reference to a floppy drive for the drivers.

The following resource link gives a good explanation of this process.

Hello All,

I have made 3 in 1 Win 2k CDROM, yet I get very strange (rather funny) error: \"Please insert SP2 disk into drive A:\"
press enter to continue
press F3 to quit

I am thinking that I slipstreamed SP2 incorrectly.

Thanks a lot to makers of this terrific HOWTO guide. Exellent job guys!!

Thank you
/Alex

[Jackeroo]

you should put the file \"CDROMSP2.TST\" that created by the SP2 installation program to the root of the cdrom

I got similair problem but it is after the install completes and i add windows components.  It askes for the sp2 disc.  The only way i thought of to resolve this is to extract sp2 to my 3in1 disc. please letme know if this is a known problem or if im going to have to procede with the extraction option.

[Anonymous]

I am having a similar problem when i am able to install but after install it ask me for sp2 disc when i add  windows componets IE DNS server please advise me what to do
cheers

If you are using the www.tech-hints.com site to compile the cd, the downloads for the asrv, wsrv and pro bootfix files are incorrect.  The files that are out there right now still have the uenglishwpro etc listed as the source path.  That is the reason that you are not able to see the EULA.  You can go into each of these folders and change the txtsetup.sif so that it points to the correct folder.  Edit with text editor and do a search for UENGLISH.  Just make the path appear as pro, server or adv_srv depending on which files you are editing.  Hope this helps.  I am going to email [email protected] and let them know that those files are out of date, especially if you are using the w2kall.bin file.
On another note, i have followed the instructions to extract the files from floppy and apply the various version to those folders, the wpro, wsrv and asrv folders.  In the instructions, it says there are supposed to be 107 files with another folder with two files under it.  My folders are only showing 105 files with the folder + two files under it.  I can send a txt file with the listings to anyone who can tell me what files i am missing or what step i am missing.
Thanks.

Bill,

Please refer to \"page 7\"of this thread for my resolution to this problem that you seem to be having.  As per the instructions, there are 107 files total extracted from the \"CDBoot\" image files.  You seem to be missing the \"System32\" folder which also contains 2 additional files.

eekarum,
i notice you put the HPT370 Mass Storage Driver in TextMode dir


Does it work well?

my case is that when i put the file in the TextMode,i can use
winnt /u:unattend.txt /s:xxxxxxx
and
winnt32 /unattend:unattend.txt

to automate install the drive

but when I burn it to  CD,it always complains like below:

File txtsetup.oem caused an unexpected error (18) at
line 1041 in F:nt1privatentosbootsetupoemdisk.c

Press any key to continue.

Could you post your txtsetup.oem file and TExtMode directory  tree here

thanks  very much

Sorry for my poor English:)

[Sic1Nine]

Did you modify the txtsetup.oem file?

I\'ve been trying to create a multi boot CD(win98/win2k/winXP).
The problem is that my floppy drive is usb connected(it won\'t boot and will not works under dos mode).

Any idea where can I download such a ready made bootable CD\'s iso file?

Thanks
