Hi, Folks!

 I want to make a multiboot DVD with WXP and BartPE. I follow the instructions in help file of EasyBoot. All works OK, but there is a little problem.
 After installing initial WXP files, the installation need to reboot. After reboot, operating system installation continues copying files to hard disk. But it ask me more than 20 times where are de I386 folder. I answer it correctly (d:\xpen\i386) and continues OK.
 The question is: what can I do to avoiding this annoying message during the installation? Maybe with a unattended installation?

  Thanks for all. Sorry for my poor english, I'm spanish.

I had the same issues when I started to build my multiboot Unattended Windows CD... it seems that it is related to te way you obtain your boot folder.

I solved my problem by using the method in this guide:

I tried your solution and I've found errors. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

I have one question:
In "txtsetup.sif", what's correct:
SetupSourcePath = "\xpen"
or
SetupSourcePath = "\xpen\"
?

Thanks for all, again.

SetupSourcePath = "\xpen\"

I've found the solution for my problem! It's so easy, but I spend many time to find it.

The instructions in EasyBoot User's Guide are mainly correct.
But there is some needed change: you must copy "win51*.*" files to "\xpen" folder. When the setup program reboots and starts installing the operating system, it checks if those files are in the path especificated at "SetupSourcePath". If they are there, it continues installing without problems. If they aren't in the appropiate folder, it asks user to insert the original Windows XP CD.
