  1. Interested in unattended install? How about reviewing my 67 page doc?


    Over the past year and a half or so, I've been working my way through a lot of material on this forum related to unattended installation of Windows. I asked a lot of questions, did a LOT of testing, wrote plenty of notes, and wrote a program to automate just about everything that I needed to maintain images for unattended installation.

    My notes initially started as a rough reference to everything that I learned. Because there were a lot of things that I developed on my own or that I figured out through extensive testing and research, I thought that the information I was compiling might be of interest to others. I thought that the time might be appropriate to share the information and to get some feedback to see if there is anything that I need to clarify or change.

    Note that my documentation makes heavy use of the fantastic tutorials from persons such as @Kari, @cereberus, and @Brink. I've made some significant changes to the workflow and procedures in various areas, so rather than simply link to their tutorials directly, I wrote step-by-step procedures in my documentation with my changes / additions slip-streamed in. Please see the credits section at the end of the document for links to many of the tutorials that are the basis for much of the information presented here.

    Here are some of the topics covered:

    Performing an unattended setup of Windows using a single answer file.
    Creating a customized, syspreped Windows installation image,and preping the answer files to accomplish this.
    Automating first-time logon to completely finish an unattended installation.
    Creating bootable ISO images and media including a method to create boot media that includes both x86 and x64 Windows images, bootable from both BIOS and UEFI based systems - all accomplished with no third party software.
    How to inject Windows updates into Windows images.
    How to inject drivers into Windows images.
    How to export drivers from a Windows system which can then be injected into a Windows image or installed with a single command after a clean or unattended installation on a system.

    For any geeks interested in these topics, I sure would appreciate some review and feedback.

    As I noted above, I've written a program to automate much of this, but this document is aimed at those who want to know how they themselves can perform these tasks manually.

    Looking forward to your feedback!

    - Hannes

  3. OFFICIAL   Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen (Review)

    there is something wrong with suggested for you list on npu page. clicking on picture of dd:da review from suggested for you list leads to perormance analysis instead of review. hovering mouse over it shows in status bar correct link to review but clicking on picture reloads analysis.
    links from reviews&articles page works fine.

    edit: link from home page of npu sends you to analysis instead of review as well.
