probs w/ unattended install w2000pro

[ed31]

I have done a google search & checked various other forums to see if someone out there might have the answer to my dilemma. Hopefully one of u might know ...?

I'm studying for my MCSA . I'm doing an exercise that requires
me to do an unattended install of Win2000Pro w/answer files.

I used the setup manager wizard to create the unattend.bat &
unattend.txt . I have the Distribution folder w/ all the W2000Pro install files set up as well . Everything is Shared & the permissions are proper.

I am running Server 2000 . My target computer has a blank HD
formatted FAT(32) . I am able to connect to the server and
Map to the Deploy & Distribution folders using a Network boot disk.

The problem is that when I type in unattend.bat at the command line of my target pc ... I receive a "Bad command or Filename " error message . The Batch file works on the Server.
I double click on it and it kicks off an unattended install (**on it's own HD **) ... So I know it's a good batch file.

Why is my PC giving me a Bad command or Filename error??
unattend.bat is a MS-DOS file. It should run & start the install.

My instructor can't figure it out. He says it shouldn't be acting that way. I tried 2 different Network Boot disks 'cause my
instructor thought maybe the Command.com was bad.
Same results . Unattend.bat "Bad command Or filename"

Help!???? please...

the bat file looks fine so i wood start looking at the win2k server permissions can you log on to the server from another computer and access the files ? all so check the network card in the computer your trying to install on if posable try a difrent one dose the network boot disk work in a difrent computer ?
