To run an unattended installation XP will need to copy files to your Hard Disk. This can be only achived by having a formated FAT32 partition on you Hard Disk Drive. The partition needs to be about 500Mb. Once you have a dos partition your unattended installation process should work fine. If you don't have a dos boot disk to prepare your Hard Disk with FDISK, you can download a bootable Disk from www.bootdisk.com
