PRB: Unattended Install Does Not Stop After Text Mode

ID: Q172522

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0
Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you use NoWaitAfterTextMode = 0 in the [Unattend] section of your Unattend.txt file to stop the installation after text mode, the installation may not stop. Create a 500 MB partition and place the entry ExtendOEMPartition = 1 in the Unattend.txt file.

For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Q143473 Unattended Setup Stops Unexpectedly

CAUSE

This happens when the Unattend.txt file contains the entry:


[unattend]
FileSystem = ConvertNTFS

This entry causes the computer to restart in order to complete the conversion of the file system to NTFS.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
