Thanks for your reply. I have OEM Windows 2003 Server STD edition.
I have intstalled the tool, but for me to get it across to the destination
computer which is within the network is what I do not know.

Boot the remote system using WinPE, and then either run winnt32 or use
Sysprep with an imaging utility... Or just use the CD with a winnt.sif.
Searching the chm files for any of the terms I've put in here should get you
started...

Thanks WW.
is WinPE thesame as the tool CD or the floppy created? if so I have boot
using the Tool CD and the diskkett I created. Could you pls tell the commads
for winnt32 that will get me going or ho do I get the CD with a winnt.sif? I
appreciate it

WinPE is included in the OPK - you can either boot the OPK CD or create your
own (the docs explain pretty well how). Once up and running, partition the
disk, format it, and install Windows:

diskpart
sel dis 0
clean
cre par pri
sel par 1
active
assign letter=C

format /Q /Y /FS:NTFS

winnt32.exe /makelocalsource /dudisable /syspart:C: /tempdrive:C:
/unattend:unattend.txt

The docs are pretty good at explaining the steps...

Hi WM,
I have tried to execute the commads and instructed. It work to the point
whre letter C was assigned.
The next command just gave me list of command option just as when you type
help/? command.

I discovered thjat may be I need MASTER Computer for it to work. I bult
another computer and joined it to the network. Should I install WIndows XP on
it before I can run the OPK tools CD?
Meanwhile, when I typed \\tech\opktools\winnt.exe it gave "access denied"
Pls help guy, I count on your suggest to get me out of this heck of a box!!
