Posted December 17, 201113 yr XP Home does not use Mini-Setup option and the sysprep.inf will not load the unattended stuff. Pro works fine. Been a long time since I used sysprep for Home. How do you unattend the process for Home? oobeinfo.ini? Need the product key to be entered automatically.
December 17, 201113 yr Author AFAIK that feature\features were never implemented in XP Home.I never understood why MS treated XP Home like the red head stepchild and Pro got all the goods. I was reading you could use a Winbom.ini to automate the process but not sure how to make one.
December 17, 201113 yr Ummm maybe because MOST home users DO NOT use any of the features in Pro?Thus allowing MS to offer a cheaper home friendly version.

I know the diff between Home and Pro. Kinda sucks the Mini-Setup option was left out of Home.
