Basically, you need to create a Winnt.sif file with the following:

[Unattended]
UnattendMode=GuiAttended
OemPreinstall=No
TargetPath=\WINNT

[data]
unattendedinstall=yes
msdosinitiated=0

Save that to a floppy, and have the floppy inserted when you are
installing Windows. The installer will read the file and install
Windows in C:\WINNT.

Hi@all,

yesterday the hard disk of one of my TSM Clients (Windows XP) broke
totally
down. Now I want to recover that disk from my TSM backup.

I do daily backups for the following domains:

SYSTEM OBJECTS
C:

The way I want to recover is the following:

Installing Windows XP incl. SP2
Bringing back the machine into the network
Installing TSM BA-Client
Copying the dsm.opt file to TSM
Restore the domain C:
Restore the SYSTEM OBJECTS

The difficulty here by is that the client was upgraded from Windows
2000 to
Windows XP on top to the Windows 2000. So that Windows XP resides in
C:\WINNT. Installing Windows XP native Windows resides in c:\WINDOWS.

I don't have any Windows 2000 installation material anymore.


Have any one an idea what I can do?


Thanks in advance
Ronald
