I want to put 2 XP Pros and 1 XP home on one dvd. The XP home is Dell oem, and has a $OEM$ folder (which I'm guessing may contain the unattended install info). What's the protocol for for the $OEM$ folder? I can see mixing XP with 98 OK, but are there some special tricks for combining 3 XP's? I'm not sure about integrating wxp.bat.  Perhaps there's a link to someplace in the forums I missed? Thanks.

I think he is asking WHERE he should put the $OEM$ folder and the Winnt.sif file...

I am also interested in the answer...

This is not documented in the 'Pratical Guide'

The $OEM$ folder goes into disk1 and the winnt.sif goes into the I386 folder
Have a look at these links for advice on unattended installs and cd's

What about if you have 2 $OEM$ folders? I'm planning to build a Multi-Boot DVD with more than 1 Unattended Installations...

I beleive the $OEM$ folder should reside in XPEN for example...

Thank's for the link about MSFN but I'm already a member of their forum and I've reed the whole site...

Right now, on my CD I have an Unattended Installation and the $OEM$ folder is at the root. I have a regular installation inside the XPEN folder as instructed in the EasyBoot Help documentation and both are working well.

Thanks. I found some pretty good info about the $OEM$ folder, etc. at the msfn link. Can't help but want to do some experimenting now.
