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* 2000 or the unattended installation process, consult your Windows 2000 documentation or contact Microsoft* for assistance.

All unattended installations start with creating a directory called \i386, and then copying all the files from the \i386 directory of the install CD to that 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® 815 Family Chipsets can be found on this web site. Download the .ZIP file and extract to get the necessary files.

First Steps - Preparation

1. Copy the \i386 directory and all its files and subdirectories from the Windows 2000 installation CD to the hard disk.

2. Create a subdirectory of \i386 called $OEM$. You should now have this directory on the hard disk:

   \i386\$OEM$

3. Create a subdirectory of \i386\$OEM$ called "Textmode". You should now have this directory on the hard disk:

   \i386\$OEM$\Textmode

4. Create another subdirectory of \i386\$OEM$\ called "$1\Drivers\Display". You should now have this directory on the hard disk as well:

   \i386\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\Display

5. Copy the drivers for the Intel 815 Chipset Family from the \windows2000 folder into the \i386\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\Display directory AND into the \i386\$OEM$\Textmode directory.

6. To install the Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility files concurrently, create another subdirectory of \i386\$OEM$\ called '$1\Drivers\IntelInf' and another one called '\$\INF'. You should now also have this directory structure:

   \i386\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\IntelInf
   \i386\$OEM$\$\INF

7. Copy the files for the Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility into the \i386\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\IntelInf directory, the \i386\$OEM$\$\INF 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.

8. 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.

Driver Installation

1. Execute the installation command line as follows:

   winnt /s:: /u::\\unattend.txt Example: c:\i386\winnt.exe /s:c:\i386 /u:c:\i386\unattend.txt

If you booted to a floppy disk, remove the boot disk from the machine as soon as the installation begins.
