Hi,
yesterday I took an image from a MSDN release of Windows XP. The cd was circulating at the office, so it was really tempting..
Now few questions:
I noticed that the cd contains two versions: Home and Professional. Now get this: the properties of WINHOME-folder state that the folder is 516 MB, and the properties for Pro are stating that the folder is 540 MB (approx.) Now, and here it comes, the properties of the entire cd state that the cd is about 670 MB... What gives?
I didn't try to istall it yet, but my collegues say that there is an product activation feature on both versions, but you actually can skip it. Now the source of this info is not reeally reliable, so I'm asking you guys: is it possible to skip the activation process on MSDN release permanently?
The MSDN CD is bootable. I want to create a cd with a unattended installation. I've allready created unattend.txt, but what now? Even if I copy the files from win XP Pro only, download the boot sector image, and burn those things on cd, the setup will start without the command line to use unattend.txt. I mean, how the hell should I make a boot cd that boots my comp, goes into full unattended setup, and installs my windows without having me clicking anything?
Thnx in advance,
Lukas
