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.

You can in fact do the set up Windows yourself by launching Narrator with
Windows U. Tab one time, space, then enter, and Narrator will start, guiding
you through the process of completing setup.

You can also start the windows 7 instalation process with Jaws. While you
are 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 restart
several 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 to
complete windows beginning process, which include creating your username and
password, setting date and time, etc.

I have done this several times.

Hope this helps

Hi,

I have been looking at the WAIK kit, that includes the Windows image
tool.

Takes some time getting used to if you have not tried it before,
especially editing fields is complecated. Is there a better simpler
and faster way to create the file with the unattended commands?

Hi,

you need to download the Microsoft Tool which is called system image
manager.
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 be

accessible but I am sure that someone else can comment on this.

Hi folks,

how does the unattended install thing work with Win7? I have no
experience using unattended installations so far.

Hey all,

Just wondering if anyone here knows how to install win7 without
sited assistance. 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?

Cheers,
Shane
