Patrick,
Made the change to unattend.txt and when I enter "type
unattend.txt" I see the entire document correctly
displayed.
However, now I have another question. When I enter
either of the three commands from the mapped N:\ drive I
am now getting a "An Internal Error has occured. Cannot
find a place for a swap file. Setup will end" error.
I have the same error when I do this to the system with
Windows 2000 already installed, when I fdisk and format
the drive as one partition ( 10.0GB as FAT32 ) and when I
fdisk and format the drive to have two partitions ( 4GB
C: FAT32 and 6GB D: FAT32 ). Assuming that I can resolve
this issue I do not want the drive to be formatted as
FAT32. I want NTFS. Do I need to add a line in the
unattend.txt of "FileSystem=ConvertNTFS"?
Any help is welcome.

PS Nice web site. Will have to give it a shot. We
normally use a bootable CD with the WINNT.SIF file on
it. No problems there but looking for an alternative way.
