Default Auto-install Windows XP


I was wondering what i would have to do if i wanted to let a windows install
itself(without user intervention)

Probably make my own inf file or something but a guide would be great.

Thx

It's called an "unattended" installation. First, do a little
research on the subject:

Next, get a hold of your XP installation CD.
Open the CD in Windows Explorer and navigate to the
Support\Tools folder.
Inside that folder is a file named Deploy.cab.
Open that file and hit the Ctrl key and the A key at the same
time.
Right click one of the highlighted files and select Extract
from the menu.
Save the extracted files to a new folder on your desktop called
Deploy.
Open the new Deploy folder and read ref.chm.

Good luck
