created an answer file and are trying to run unattend.bat

Unattend.bat is as follows:

@rem SetupMgrTag
@echo off
rem
rem This is a SAMPLE batch script generated
by the Setup Manager Wizard.
rem If this script is moved from the
location where it was generated, it may
have to be modified.
rem

set AnswerFile=\\nab03\w2kdist\unattend.txt
set SetupFiles=\\nab03\w2kdist

winnt /s:%SetupFiles% /u:%AnswerFile%

We receive the following error:

Windows 2000 Setup:An internal Setup error has occurred.
Could not find a place for a swap file.
Setup cannot continue. Press ENTER to exit.

Please HELP.

Thank you.

To start Windows 2000 Setup in unattended Setup mode from Windows 95 or Windows 98, Windows NT?, or Windows 2000, a user must specify:
winnt32 /unattend: /s: [/syspart:] [/tempdrive:]

In other words, you need to look at a /t: variable or a /tempdrive: with enough space to handle the installation.
