they are lucky they have such a forgiving individuals like
yourself still willing to risk their product.

Best Regards

>> [Western Digital] drives are good with the exception of the 1.6's which I have
had to replace over a dozen.

Sounds like all reporting are in agreement here. They don't make
the 1.6 anymore, BTW.

Hi Sean

I was hoping you could help me out. I'm trying to setup an unattended install for my workstation. I have a few places that I'm really unsure on. Could you look this over and give me some feedback? I have the places that I'm concerned about in bold and italics. If you find anything else wrong or something that needs to be addressed please let me know.

[Unattended]
OemPreinstall = yes
NoWaitAfterTextMode = 0
NoWaitAfterGUIMode = 1
ExtendOEMPartition = 1
ConfirmHardware = yes
NtUpgrade = no
Win31Upgrade = no
TargetPath = AutoConfirm | * | f:\winnt
FileSystem = ConvertNTFS | LeaveAlone
OverwriteOemFilesOnUpgrade = no

[DisplayDrivers]
"Diamond ViperPro" = "Retail"

[UserData]
FullName = "**********"
ComputerName = *********
ProductId = "*********"

[GuiUnattended]
OemSkipWelcome = 1
OEMBlankAdminPassword = 1
TimeZone = "(GMT-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada); Tijuana"

[Display]
ConfigureAtLogon = 0
BitsPerPel = 8
XResolution = 1280
YResolution = 1024
VRefresh = 60
AutoConfirm = 1

[Modem]
InstallModem = ModemParameters

[ModemParameters]
COM4 = "SupraMax", "Diamond"

[Network]
DetectAdapters = ""
InstallProtocols = ProtocolsSection
InstallServices = ServicesSection
JoinWorkgroup = Workgroup

[ProtocolsSection]
TC = TCParamSection

[TCParamSection]
DHCP = no
IPAddress = 107.131.2.101
Subnet = 255.255.255.0

[ServicesSection]
RAS = RASParamSection

[RASParamSection]
PortSections = PortSection1
DialoutProtocols = TCP/IP

[PortSection1]
PortName = COM1-COM4
DeviceType = Modem
PortUsage = DialOut

1. Is AutoConfirm valid here?
2. Is LeaveAlone needed? SetupManager didn't put it in but the
Resource Kit says to put it in the line.
3. What would the correct BitsPerPel setting be?

Thanks much for your time

Ed
