I finally solved this issue disabling the legacy USB emulation as described
in the link you sent me.

Thanks again

 The version of the unattended is 3.2
 
 Can I just take the linux boot disk and keep everything else the same?
 
 Thanks

Finally, you might try the Linux boot disk.

[Unattended] No system disk or disk error

2004-03-22 Thread DE-LOS-SANTOS,ORIOL (HP-Spain,ex1)
We have been using Unattended for some time now without major problems.
Unfortunately we are now having to install Toshiba Techra S1 laptops.
After we boot from the network and type INST to start the installation  we
get the followin error.

Non system disk or disk error

What can this be?

Thanks
Oriol de los Santos

Virtually all the time that I get this error, it is because the BIOS 
does not have a floppy drive configured.

Even if the machine doesn't have a physical floppy, it still needs to 
have the BIOS set for a floppy.

I've always figured that this is because memdisk hooks the bios to 
emulate the floppy, and if the bios isn't there, then there are problems.

Not quite.  See the FAQ (http://unattended.sourceforge.net/faq.html);
in particular, the link titled copying some new stuff.
