Update, Thanks first to everyone's ideas and suggestions. Problems occured on multiple boxes. Well, actually new Dells and VmWares.
Tried copying to my Samba share from multiple sources (Linux, Win2000 box, another Win2000 box, etc...), with all getting me into trouble. But in the end I made some observations: 1. Straight OEM of XP works fine. 2. Straight DELL works fine when copied from Windows. 3. Either XP that I apply SP1a to then fail. 4. DELL with SP1 applied (preinstalled) works fine. So, one might think I am applying the SPs incorrectly, yet the practise works just fine on Win2000 for both SP3 and SP4. I've tried applying the SP's both directly from the given .exe and from the unpacked update.exe with not luck. But, I am able now to install XP the Unattended way :) and will keep thinking about what I might be doing wrong :(. thanks again, JES On Wed, 16 Jul 2003, Michelangelo Bottura wrote: > Usually the kind of errors you're experiencing are due to hardware problems > (like defective memory banks, defective original media) or device driver > problems (here it would probably be network card drivers).
