im trying to do an autounattend virtually, ive been creating the floppys in winimage and adding the autounattend that way. is there a way to add files to floppy's pre boot/installation without using 3rd party software? when booting with the winimage floppy i get a this: Disk formatted with winimage see w inimage .com bootsector from C.H Hochstatter no system disk. Booting from hardisk cannot load from harddisk So i just choose to boot from cd...it then boots but it wont recognize my unattend file and goes to manual setup
Why make the floppy bootable? Just attach the floppy image in the VM and boot from cd/dvd, the installation will look for 'AUTOUNATTEND.XML' in floppy drive automatically BTW, if you are using a ISO as boot media you also can insert 'AUTOUNATTEND.XML' in the root of the ISO image
i was going to post a pic but it wont allow until 20 posts. Yeh ive done exactly that, im using a OEM and AIO disk yet the answer file isnt recognized, ive made a few for both and they wont work/be found id use a usb but vmware doesn't support it with hacks
