HI,I am trying to install a 64 bit windows 7 rtm over a 32 bit rC, making a clean install. I cannot start the cd from the RC windows 7. I have tried to make the autounattend.xml file, but the boot order seems to be hard disk then cd rom.
Any ideas how to force the computer to boot from the cd drive? The documentation for WAIK says that there should be a keyboard key you can press during boot to bypass the boot order.

Yes but just to make it a bit clearer, run the setup from within Windows using JAWS, then once your ocmputer has restarted a few times and sounds like it's doing nothing press Windows key + U to run narrator. All works well after that.Peter -------------------------------------------------- From: "Chris Hallsworth" <christopherh40@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, September 28, 2009 11:59 PM To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: RE: Installing Windows 7You can in fact do the set up Windows yourself by launching Narrator withWindows U.

While youare loged into windows, insert and run the windows 7 DVD, and Jaws will read every step on the screen. Once the setup begins, your computer will restartseveral times. At this point, you will lose Jaws speach. I think that it took half hour for my computer to complete the setup. After instalation is complete, you have to get sighted assistance tocomplete windows beginning process, which include creating your username andpassword, setting date and time, etc. I have done this several times.

You then create an Autounattended installation file. I have one of these that works but it is different for the 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows 7 but seems to be the same as the Vista ones. Maybe I could take out the confidential details e.g. the serial number and send it along but it is a bit fiddle to edit things out as it is an XML file. mMaybe you could try a utility like VLITE I think it is to create your file. That is a free download and I think that others have found it to beaccessible but I am sure that someone else can comment on this. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Voy44" <voy44@xxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, September 27, 2009 11:38 AM Subject: Re: Installing Windows 7Hi folks, how does the unattended install thing work with Win7?

That is, is there a series of keystrokes that will get to the gui part of the install where narrator can be started or do I need to go through the process of creating an unattend.xml file?
