10-2 Unattended installation procedure
This section describes the steps to perform an unattended installation of Windows XP-32 and Windows XP-64.
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 blade workstation. Example directories are shown in Figure 10-1 (the
highlighted directories are discussed in step 3).
a.
Windows XP Pro SP2—The $OEM$ folder is created under the i386 directory, which was originally
created manually or via Remote Installation Service.
b.
Windows XP Pro x64—The amd64 and i386 subdirectories contain the OS files, and the $OEM$
folder needs to be on the same level as amd64 and i386
