I've actually just finished trying to troubleshoot that same type issue.
Ends up that the issue is with samba.  When I turned logging up to level 5 I
noticed that there were a few files that wern't being copied correctly.
Something about 'attribs didn't match'.

See: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg20213.html

I never did really solve the problem.  If I boot up and then go to the
directory where the file that gets the error resides then I can do a
directory and see the file.  If I do a copy and specify the filename
directly then it copies just fine.  But if a do a wildcard copy then it will
copy all files but the ones that get the errors.

The interesting thing is that this error only occurs in the msclient for DOS
or the text part of the installer.  Once you get into windows everything is
accessable just fine.

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
