Hi
I have created a fully unattended install XP Setup CD with SATA/RAID
drivers and all updates on board. It appears to load properly up to Install
Windows or F3 to quit screen whereupon I quit, so I'm assuming it's possibly
OK
How can I test it for a full install ? Do I need to create a virtual drive?
and if so what do I do with it? ( words of one syllable would be appreciated
)
This is on a fully functioning? system not a new build
There appears to be loads of info to tell you how to create these things but
nothing about how to test it

Thx in advance

Install VMWARE and test it in a virtual machine.

Just stopping at the first install screen (the blue one) did only test
loading all of the integrated MassStorage drivers (integrated in
txtsetup.sif) and nothing more of your unattended installation.

Thanks for the prompt reply, I'll give it a try
