[Unattended] win2ksp4-updates possible bug
Hello, the script win2ksp4-updates.bat (current CVS HEAD) has a bug concerning the update from KB904706. It exists in two different versions, one for DirectX 8 and one for DirectX 9. The update script tries to install the version for DirectX 8, which fails because DirectX 9 was already installed earlier in the script. I have corrected this for me like this: :: Security Update for DirectX 9 for Windows 2000 (KB904706) :: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=FEDC7212-27B8-4993-9965-53E9298DB386 :: URL|DEU|http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/9/a/29a573e0-750c-42d7-9fb0-aed5c7786c7a/Windows2000-KB904706-DX9-x86-DEU.exe|updates/win2ksp4/windows2000-kb904706-dx9-x86-deu.exe :: URL|ENU|http://download.microsoft.com/download/a/8/f/a8fed1de-6519-4c4e-b67f-f6cb477a74bf/Windows2000-KB904706-DX9-x86-ENU.exe|updates/win2ksp4/windows2000-kb904706-dx9-x86-enu.exe todo.pl .reboot-on 194 %Z%\updates\win2ksp4\Windows2000-KB904706-DX9-x86-%WINLANG%.exe /passive /n /norestart Maybe someone could take the time to find out the download locations for other languages and update the script.

Re: [Unattended] Issues with getting Unattended to work with Dell machines.
Hi Steve, I have used the unattended installation with Dell Machines (on about 10 optiplex gx620's -- but no laptops). However, we used a volume-licensed copy of WindowsXP for the installation, not the Dell/restore version of windows. Which 4 files are different between the two? Also, if you are doing the OEM install, you need to use the product key that shipped with that install media, not the keys off the side of the dell machine.

OK, it's long ago, but anyway. In http://www2.inf.fh-bonn-rhein-sieg.de/~skaise2a/ska/prepOEM.zip there are two scripts: combine takes a hierarchie of folders and merges its content into another one effectively flattening the hierarchie. I've updated the script with the non-intuitive hierarchie naming of the driver pack and had to make some guesses, that are probably wrong. E.g. why some dirs of drivers are located as subdirs of ones already merged together. After flattening, there are some folders left with _no_ .INF file in it. The V6034 Driverpacks are flattened into 28 individual directories. Note: It does not help for mass storage drivers. mkRenameTXT invoked in, e.g., $oem$/$1 it will generate the $$RENAME.TXT file setup will use to rename the files back into long filenames. It uses temp files in each directory, hence, you can run it multiple times on the same hierarchie without problems. Bye, -- Steffen Kaiser --- Using Tomcat but need to do more?

[Unattended] Problems with parted
Hello, I have serious problems with the use of parted in unatteded Linux boot disk. Usually I install unattended on pre-partitioned hard disks, either by a previous version of Windows or using sfdisk (our Linux deployment usually runs before the Windows deployment :-) . However, when I select, for instance, to use all the disk in unattended, parted generates an invalid partition tables -- in the eye of Partition Magic, which refuses to run at all then. Same for Win98 fdisk. Linux can access the partition with no problem, however, today I noticed that parted created a partition without a lba flag, whereas the Win98 fdisk does. Also, the Win98 fdisk partition started at, what parted displays as 32KB, whereas parted uses a start sector of 0. I have this problem on more than one computer with different Boards and HDs, e.g. a Dell, an IBM, some nonames using ASUS and Gigabyte boards. Also, when I order parted to create a fat32 file system on a partition (e.g. mkfs 4 fat32), and does not format the partition in DOSemu, winnt.exe dies with a division by zero right after it copied 100% of the files (some secs before the reboot). -- No issue as to format in DOSemu is no timing problem, I just wanted to point this out. Also, is there a way to have unattended mark an already existing partion as target? Because if the partion is formatted as NTFS, DOSemu does not seem to use it, regardless if format is actived. -- That way I noticed above behaviour, as I thought I can skip the DOS based format, when I invoke parted mkfs anyway. Would it be beneficial to drop parted and use sfdisk instead? IMHO it offers more fine grained control over the partition tables, e.g. which slot to use and direct manipulation of partition ID.

Re: [Unattended] Problems with parted
Hello, which version of the boot media (CD/Disk/TFTP-Image) are you using? I'm having the same problems since I recompiled (with customized paths) the boot cd from CVS two weeks ago (the current stable 4.6 wouldn't compile, but I don't remember exactly what the problem was right now). With the stable 4.6 release (and entering the paths manually), this does not occur. Creating the partition manually with parted works. I noticed something similar like you: choosing one of the automatic partitioning schemes (like use all disk) makes parted create a primary fat32 partition from 0 to 4000MB. However, starting parted manually and creating a partition with mkpartfs primary fat32 0% 4GB creates a partition from 32KB to 3997MB, and this works. So it looks to me the problem is not with parted, but with the way it's invoked.

Re: [Unattended] Issues with getting Unattended to work with Dell machines.
You need to match the type of media with the type of product key that you are using to install Windows XP. If you use a Volume Licensed edition of Windows XP Professional, then you need to use a Volume License Product key. The Volume Licensed edition will not ask you to Activate windows ever. If you use an OEM edition of Windows XP (Sometimes called a System Builder edition), then you need to use a System Builder Key (usually on a sticker on the side of the case). Unattended will install the OS for you, but it does not automatically Activate windows. You can use the OS as much as you want without activating, but you must activate it within a set sime period, or the OS will not do anything else until you do activate it. There is also the Retail edition which will probably ask you to activate. I use the volume edition just because I don't want to have to deal with activation.
