I am slightly confused by some of the sections and wonder if someone can clarify the issues I have with this article.<br />
<br />
Issue 1 - The article states I need to put the &quot;OemPreinstall=Yes is in the [Unattended] section&quot; or the mass storage additives will not work correctly. &nbsp;I am not using the unttend.txt in the i386 folder but I am using sysprep.inf and winbom.ini instead. &nbsp;Which file do I then add this line to - winbom or sysprep.inf. &nbsp;I cannot find an article that supports using this line in anything other than the unattend.txt which I am not using to my knowledge.<br />
<br />
Issue 2- In section 5 the article describes editing the [disks] section but makes note to the &quot;\&quot; at the end. &nbsp;This appears to me this must stay a \ but the following article appears to contridict this and state to but the full path without the drive letter<br />
Conflicting article = <a href="http://smallvoid.com/article/winnt-install-cd-drivers.html" rel="ugc">http://smallvoid.com/article/winnt-install-cd-drivers.html</a><br />

winbom.ini question

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
