extract the deploy cab files to your hard drive and run setupmgr.exe. go through the setupmgr entering in custom settings if you want to, then save them to a floppy but rename it to winnt.sif
If you dont rename the file it wont work when installing windows. You should have three files then, unattend.udb unattend.bat and winnt.sif on the floppy.

next just boot to the cd, partition your hard drive and format it with NTFS, and the answer file with take care of the rest.
