look at the howto on http://ubertechnique.com/unattended/NTLDRNotFound, 
where you can also download a pre-compiled ISO.

I haven't been able to get any of the new Dells to install via
unattended.  Just FYI

Hello,

the FAQ is incorrect in this point. You *can* turn off expiration of the
password using "net user":

net user <username> <password> /EXPIRES:NEVER

Works for us using Windows 2000 SP4, so it should work with XP also.

Bye,
Andreas

Hi Andreas,

from my own experience, the /expires:never flag only prevents expiry of 
the *account itself* but *not* of the password.

I just tried this command
   net user myuser mypwd /add /expires:never
on my XP-Pro-SP2-Box and then looked into the Windows-User-Manager.

The password-does-not-expire checkbox for this user was *not* set.

Regards
Gerhard
