DeViLbOi, not sure what you mean by drive image, exactly. If yo are referring to making a fresh install, and then just backing everything up, I guess I never really thought about that. But what I am trying to do is make an install disc that will work with various pc's.

I would guess that making a drive image would save registry settings and other settings specific to the pc that the OS is installed on. In which case, using that particular method would not be the best to use on different pc's, as the settings would clash with different hardware profiles.

However, it would be a very good idea if I were to be using only one pc.

To jdub, I do understand what you are saying, however, I would be setting it up as the very last install upon completion of all other software, in order to avoid any conflict with the unattended install. Also, due to the need to restart windows after installing it, I would not want to have it installed before any other software through the RunonceEx.cmd file.
