Performing an unattended installation
This section describes the steps to perform an unattended installation of Windows® XP and Windows® XP
Professional x64 Edition.
1. Create and update the remote install distribution share.
2. In the distribution share, create a directory structure to store the OS installation files, as well as the
HP-specific drivers and software for the workstation blade.
a. Windows® XP Professional SP3—The $OEM$ folder is created under the i386 directory, which
was originally created manually or via Remote Installation Service.
b. Windows® XP Professional x64—The AMD64 and i386 subdirectories contain the OS files, and
the $OEM$ folder must be on the same level as amd64 and i386
3. Download the software and drivers required for unattended installation:
a. Uncompress the SoftPaq, and copy the folder and contents of the conrep and unsignok folders
to the $OEM$\$1\HP_Install directory.
b. Download the latest drivers and software for the workstation blade.
c. Copy RGS and additional utilities in various distribution sub-folders.
4. Create regedit command files in the $OEM$\$1\HP_Install directory to change registry settings for
