Does the said machine have a blank formatted hard drive. If I don't first
format my drive when doing an unattended install it doesn't do the install
unattended.

Subject:        Unattend install - commands to launch

I created a unattended install this and I had read in a few places that the
proper syntax for starting the install would be:

Winnt32 /unattend:path-to-winnt.sif /s:path-to-cd-i386

Well, I was starting the install from a dos boot instead, so I assumed it
would be:

Winnt /unattend:path-to-winnt.sif /s:path-to-cd-i386

Well I found in fine print that when launching from a dos install, the
sintax should be:

Winnt /u:path-to-winnt.sif /s:path-to-cd-i386

I have read this only on one site, and can not find this on the ms site.
They all refernce to the first two syntax - yet when I tried my first one,
the install asked me to accept the agreement, enter the machine name, etc
etc - even though I had created the unattend file.

Can someone confirm this?
