is it possible to install Win XP without any prompt?? ie bypass those prumpt

[theteamaqua]

yeah, is it possible to install Win XP without any prompt??

basically heres what i need to do to install XP :
1. i put the Disc in, n boot
2. boot from DVD
3. after about 5 to 10 min of hardware inspection, it leads me to menus
4. i choose "No Repair", then "Delete Drive" , then "Format" , then install
5. it takes about another 10min to install. I call this the DOS Install part. it then says "System will reboot in 15 sec"
6. reboot
7. the GUI install part, it says it has about 39 min left .. then install (this is where i have a cursor)
8. at about 34min left ... it prompt "Install Language, Regional Option" i click "Next", then type user name , then it went back to install
9. 2 min later at about 32min left. it ask me to install "Network".. i click "Custom" , then "Next"
10. finally after about another 30min its done
11. reboot
12. enter user account, and get in to windows



so for the GUI install part, is it possible to bypass those 2 steps where i need to install Language and Network?? # 8 , and #9

cuz i dont think u can just write a script and bypass the DOS install part, but for the GUI install part is it possible to bypass those?? so i dont have to come back and click 3 times then go back to whatever i was doing??

you can configure a unattendet installation with slipstream
nLite i know will do it and i believe autostream will do it too.

nLite

AutoStreamer

also

nlite lets you configure the network part completly. down to domain memberships.
you can also configure user accounts and passwords and default languages etc

I would look at "Unattended Installations" and create your own "answers file":

see here:

although you can use nlite etc - they are more about customizing windows and slipstreaming not creating an unattended installation.
