KC Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 I was thinking about the millions of computers that the Major compaines (Dell, HP, Compaq, E-machines) and I thought well they are they really paying some one to sit around all day and install the OS's on them? No that would be impractible. 1 working installing XP would take 45-60mins, only getting 8 or less a day installed. Then I thought 1 worker installing it on like 8 machine's at the same time....that would go pretty speed'y and would explain alot of the issue's OEM installs have. With XP we can do unitended setup's from a network so that make's sence..........but what about before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToastGodSupreme Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 network installs have been around for a while... just throw in the oem preloader disk, boot up50 comps at the same time, voila :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Dorr Veteran Posted May 21, 2002 Veteran Share Posted May 21, 2002 No, it's much simpler. They just make a master disc image and copy to the hard drive as fast as the little bugger can write (and that's often pretty slow with the drives they choose :p ) Simple and assembly line-like...
