RE: [Unattended] Problems installing XP
Resize the partition to minimal 4 gb. The Installation needs some amount of space.

Re: [Unattended] Problems installing XP
I have been installing win XP successfully on 2G for ages now. Are you copying a lot of drivers with the installation? Other than that, I can't think why it would complain about not enough space. I am using winxpoem for these installs though. Regards Russell Smith On Fri, 26 Mar 2004 04:26 am, DE-LOS-SANTOS,ORIOL (HP-Spain,ex1) wrote: > We have been successfully installing W2k.

Re: [Unattended] Problems installing XP
Same here. I install in winxp (and even win2k3) via unattended (3.5, i think) all the time. It definitely is using a 2 gig partition.

Upgrade to a more recent version of Unattended. 2G is the limit for a FAT16 partition under MS-DOS 6.22. You can try increasing it to 2047M, which might just be enough. But really, you need to change your DOS. Starting with version 4.0, Unattended switched to FreeDOS, which supports FAT32. We also now create a 4000M initial partition by default. You can also roll your own boot disk using MS-DOS 7 or 8, which also support FAT32. I believe our new DOS boot disk should work with the old install share. But I am not sure. The new Linux boot disk definitely requires an updated install share. - Pat --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.

I thought I read someone's remark that v4 uses a dos version that supports fat32 and can go beyond that 2 GB point. So probably the answer is get v4. ;) GreetZ, Stephan --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.

AW: Re: [Unattended] Problems installing XP
You probably have too many drivers in the $oem$ directory (everything there gets copied to your hard drive, whether you need it or not). Either delete some stuff there, or use the new unattended 4 version, which allows you to have a primary partition size of 4 GB. - Markus >-- Originalnachricht -- >To: "DE-LOS-SANTOS,ORIOL (HP-Spain,ex1)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Cc: Unattended List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: [Unattended] Problems installing XP >From: "Patrick J.
