Hi, I assume the reason you want to use the dell CD is to have all the drivers 'prepped' for you.
I did look down this route but didn't really get anywhere, what I ended up doing was placing 'normal' drivers under the $ structure and then running the display driver etc (drivers that have setup programs, and associated tools you may want installed) as a unattended setup, most of dells stuff runs as a setup.exe and can be installed silently with minimal fuss Hope this helps steve ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2004 11:50 PM Subject: [Unattended] Dell OEM W2k+SP1 install fails :( > Many thanks for writing this nifty program. > > Works great for my MSDN subscription of W2K.
