Note: This document describes a generic unattended install process. This information is provided solely as a convenience to Intel customers. If you have questions about Microsoft Windows NT* or the unattended installation process, consult your Windows NT documentation or contact for assistance.
All unattended installations start with creating a directory on a network drive called \I386 and copying all the files from the \I386 directory of the install CD to that network directory. If the server is a Windows NT 4.0 server, create a share for that directory. If the server is a NetWare* server, assign the appropriate rights to the person who will be logged into the server doing this installation and map a drive to the \I386 directory. There are several ways to do an unattended install successfully. The version here can be used most of the time. The graphics drivers for the Intel® 810 Family Chipsets can be found on this website.
First Steps - Preparation
- Log onto server. Copy the \I386 directory and all it's files and subdirectories from the Windows NT 4.0 installation CD to a directory on the server.
- Change to the \I386 directory on the server.
- Create a subdirectory of \I386 called $OEM$. You should now have this directory on the server:
\I386\$OEM$
- Create a subdirectory of \I386\$OEM$ called "Textmode". You should now have this directory on the server:
\I386\$OEM$\Textmode
- Create another subdirectory of \I386\$OEM$ called "DISPLAY". You should now have this directory on the server as well:
\I386\$OEM$\DISPLAY
- Copy the drivers for the Intel 810 Chipset Family into the \I386\$OEM$\DISPLAY directory AND into the \I386\$OEM$\Textmode directory. Create an answer file (UNATTEND.TXT). Use the sample at the end of this document and make the appropriate changes.
- Copy the UNATTEND.TXT you just created into the \I386 directory. See Microsoft's documentation for parameters that may be used in the answer file.
- You may use a network install floppy boot disk or you may prepare the target system hard drive and boot from it on the target system.
Driver Installation
- Change to the \I386 directory. It is important that, if the target workstation needs to reconnect to the server during the install, the setup program can find the \I386 directory. This means that you should create a mapping that will exist when the machine reboots. If you are installing from a NetWare server, just use the default network drive. If you are installing from a Windows NT 4.0 server, map Z: to the share.
- Change to the mapped drive you just created and execute the installation command line as follows:
winnt /s:: /x /b /u::\\unattend.txt Example: winnt /s:c:\i386 /x /b /u:d:\i386\unattend.txt
If you booted to a floppy disk, remove the boot disk from the machine as soon as the installation begins.
