I want to automate the xp pro installation. I can't have
the boot sequence from CDROM to A drive. My BIOS is like
that. MY BIOS does have options for other boot sequences
but not from CDROM to A.

In general you provide the win setup with the Winnt.sif
file in the floppy drive. Since I can't have the boot
sequence like that, can I save the Winnt.sif in my hard
drive and do the unattended installation of xp pro on that
hard drive?
Please help...there are always some reasons for which I
end up reinstalling xp pro on my computer...boring.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot for your answer Joseph.
I still need to know about the automated installation
option using a zip instead of the floppy. Instead of
setting up the winnet.sif in a floppy can you set the same
in a zip or on another compupter connected through a cross
over wire.
Is there any option at all?
Thanks for your frist reaply.
