I don't know about the rest of you, but I set up an (almost) 8GB fat partition
for my unattended XP installation - I copy a bunch of drivers to the soon-to-be
C: drive.
I also have all of my distro's upgraded (read: slip-streamed) to SP2 (Service
Pack 2 of XP) and during the setup SP3 is added. I do not / did not
slip-stream SP3 into the distro's because I understood that this was / is not a
good idea.
What I do works for me and may not work for you. I (pretty much) get the
operation started and walk away until it is done. I have even managed to edit
my unattend.txt file to auto-load / install applications during the operation.
Good luck, folks

source. I did watch the install closely yesterday and it does appear to be fat

looks like in the freedos load.
that all sounds right try to switch from dosboot (freedos) to a linuxboot is
what I think the workaround is(if a workaround exists).

Subject: Re: [Unattended] Help I think the real solution for this is to slip
stream sp3 into your xp distro.
Check this out I could be wrong as it is known to not work with some oem.
It worked for me with sp2 back in the day.

great. The issue that I am having now is that when the windows xp sp3 install
kicks off it errors out because the partition size is too small or 2296 megs
is required for the installation. Well I have 300 gigs of free space that I am
install to. Any ideas? Also after the last continue I am getting an error
message that I generally ignore and then it goes into the formatting. It looks
like it happens when it is mounting the z and y drive. Also what script does
this so I can increase their size as well. Thanks Brandon
