Preparing source files for the UNATTEND.TXT module
Each I386 base operating-system module requires at least one UNATTEND.TXT
add-on operating-system module. The UNATTEND.TXT module contains two files:
v
A customized UNATTEND.TXT file (either UNATTEND.W2K or
UNATTEND.WXP, depending on the operating system you are installing). This
UNATTEND.TXT file enables the operating system to be installed either
unattended or moderately-attended.
v
A special batch file (ModuleN.BAT) that dynamically replaces the default
UNATTEND.TXT file in the I386 folder during installation with the customized
version.
The UNATTEND.W2K, UNATTEND.WXP, and ModuleN.BAT files are provided as
part of the ImageUltra Builder program in the \SOURCE\COPYI386 folder of your
repository. You cannot access these source files from the ImageUltra Builder
interface; you must use Windows Explorer or My Computer. If you cannot
remember the path to your repository, in the ImageUltra Builder Main window,
click File and then click Open Repository.... The repository paths are listed. You
can use any repository that has been created by or updated by the ImageUltra
Builder 2.2 program.
Preparation of these source files involves the following steps:
1.
Set up a source folder for each operating-system/language/customer
combination. For example:
X:\ULTRAPORTABLE\2000\FRENCH\LENOVO\UNATTEND
2.
Copy the contents of the \SOURCE\COPYI386 folder (from your repository)
into each source folder. This yields the following files in each source folder:
X:\ULTRAPORTABLE\2000\FRENCH\LENOVO\UNATTEND\UNATTEND.W2K
X:\ULTRAPORTABLE\2000\FRENCH\LENOVO\UNATTEND\UNATTEND.WXP
X:\ULTRAPORTABLE\2000\FRENCH\LENOVO\UNATTEND\ModuleN\
ModuleN.BAT
3.
Modify the appropriate UNATTEND.TXT file (UNATTEND.W2K or
UNATTEND.WXP). At a minimum, you must change the following:
v
The value in the ProductID field in the UNATTEND.W2K file
v
The value in the ProductKey field in the UNATTEND.WXP file
Note:
For more information about the fields in the UNATTEND.TXT file, see
the following resources:
v
The Microsoft Web site at http://www.microsoft.com.
Search for the string UNATTEND.TXT.
v
Your Windows 2000 installation CD. Locate the UNATTEND.DOC file.
v
Your Windows XP installation CD. Open the DEPLOY.CHM file
located in the DEPLOY.CAB file.
4.
Delete the unused UNATTEND.TXT file.
