running netuse from dos

[collins irungu]

hi all!

i wanted to run windows xp unattended installation on my 5
computers but didnt want to run them individually so i
tried the unattended option. the problem is i cannot
connect to the installation files on the network because
when i use net use it doesnt work. it only works from
command prompt of any machine running windows and i havent
installed anything on my new machines. can i use net use
from dos or any other command based utility to accomplish
this?

thanks in advance.

You should have made the boot disk that's needed to begin the unattended install over a network.
