MessageHi Michael, I too have tried in the past to create one of these automated installation disks but without success. In my case, I was trying to create a disk that would automatically install Windows along with SP2 without my having to get sighted assistance. The problem I ran into had to do with creating the actual boot disk by extracting something called a boot loader or Start Image from the Windows XP disk. The instructions I was reading mentioned that I had to copy some file called Microsoft Corporation.img from a directory named Bootable CD. Again, this was supposed to be on the Windows XP Pro installation disk. The problem is, I couldn't find any such directory or file. As a result, I wasn't able to create the boot disk. How did you go about accomplishing this part of the process? Thanks.

To make this task simple I will be using the unattended setup. Is there a way that JFW 7.0 can be installed automatically after the operating system is done? Yes, I do have JFW Pro. Thanks. Michael
