I am trying to do an unattended install via a network with an image of 2000 Professional on my server. I have the image stored on a non-system NTFS drive, and I made a remote boot floppy.
Here's where the problem lies: when I boot the workstation, I get the setup wizard, but right when the hard drive is about to be formatted, I get a message "not enough memory or some files may be corrupted." Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot this problem? I don't know where to go from here.

Thank you,

Have you created another Remote disk? The drive on the machine to be imaged, was there a system on it before? also, the machine that is to be imaged, does it meet the system requirements for w2k?
"The RIPrep utility only supports a single disk with a single partition (C:\ drive)."

Homer,
I tried all of these things, but to no avail. It turns out the image I created was from an upgrade version of Professional. Apparently, I needed the full installation version, which makes sense if you think about it. Once I got the full version, it worked fine. Easy, cheesy, lemon squeezy!! Thanks for the help.
