im using Autopatcher by the guys over at <<spam>> and it has and option to add custom files for silent install do any of you know the switches for the intel chipset drivers and iaa if so please list them thanks
i will also be working on my own unattended cd soon ill keep y'all posted on that
Full Version: Intel Chipset Driver And Intel Aa 2.3
Intel's is pretty good at telling you the switched needed in the readme.txt that is provided with there pakages.
For there intel chipset the switch is a follows
INFINST_ENU.EXE -S -L0009
and i would assume its is the same for there iaa software too... but check their readme.txt to be sure

that switch didn't work for me.
Try these switches
infinst_autol.exe -a -a -p i:\intel
infinst_autol.exe -a -a -p i:\intel
view the readme file of the IAA & INFINST applications..
you'll find that you'll need only the -S parameter
ex: setup.exe -S
that's it.

surprisingly the ms drivers are faster than intels .. to enable udma66 and higher on intel chipsets use this..
CODE
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96A-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0000]
"EnableUDMA66"=dword:00000001
"EnableUDMA66"=dword:00000001
how much faster?
how can you enable ATA133?

I think that the best way to install intel inf & intel application accelerator is to copy only the drivers to the $OEM folder & edit the WINNT.SIF file..
it's a little bit more complicated than using a switch, but better, coz all the drivers will be identified prior to the batch installation process. also it solves the problem of installing the cd on machines that doesn't use those two applications..
if you need more explaination, just ask.

CPU-Z is a handy tool to find out the ICH version of your mobo (Mainboard tab > Model). For example if its ICH5, then you would take out the ICH5 folder the extracted Intel chipset drivers, and add this to your $OEM$ drivers folder.

here's a part of the readme file of the Intel Inf Install:

1. Create the following directory structure under the
<WINXP Setup Directory>:
\$OEM$\$$\INF

<INF Extract Directory>\XXXX\WinXP to the directory
created in Step 1 above:
<WINXP Setup Directory>\$OEM$\$$\INF
Note: XXXX is the directory name for the chipset of

Note: XXXX is the directory name for the chipset of
interest. See Section 8 for more details.
5. Either modify the default Windows* XP installation
answer file, UNATTEND.TXT, located in <WINXP Setup

sorry Aaron, but what do you mean?
oh, just a joke. 
I've never had to use IDE Controller drivers on any of my PCs, just kinda lucky I never ran into one that needs them on pre-setup stages.

but I think it's a good idea to do that, instead of install the whole IAA application on RunonceEX..
don't you agree with me?

If Intel recommends it, then yeah (the IAA doesn't apply for my intel chipset though)

do you know where shall I put the idechndr.inf, IdeBusDr.sys, IdeChnDr.sys files? they didn't mention that in the readme file!!!!!
anybody?
I have created an unattended XP cd already with the Intel Chipset drivers added using the "installing the INF files prior to OS installation" method.
I am updating my cd now because it is a little outdated (drivers and program versions) and new methods have been discovered which allow me to minimize the installation iso file size (thanks jdeboeck).
I also wanted to update my Intel Chipset drivers. The first time I did my CD I extracted the infs to C:\Program Files\Intel\InfInst (with the ICHx sub folders below) and copied ALL of the ICHx XP files. So now if I understand it correctly, I should only copy the ICH\XP folder?
Now AaronXP said before:
So to ask again, take ICH5\XP\ and copy the INF files to $OEM$\$$\INF and then copy the INF and CAT files to Drivers\Intel???
This is probably basic to most of you, but I just want to be sure.
Thanks

I am at home now (the computer I am creating this for is in my dorm room), so I am not 100% sure of the chipset, but from the asus site (I have a P4P800 Deluxe) it says<INF Extract Directory>\XXXX\WinXP to the directory

No, copy all the files inside ICH5\XP\ to C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\intel_folder\

@AaronXP: Aren't all the files INF and CAT?
But that is a small detail, because we both were thinking the same thing.

They are a mix of cat and inf files.

Hi
Below is extracts from the readme.txt in my IAA folder, can you tell me if the drivers need to go in the C:\XPCD\$OEM$ folder or the C:\XPCD\I386\$Oem$ folder, the info in the readme.txt is not very clear.
I understand where IprtCnst.dll file needs to go.
And do i need to put a path in to OemPnPDriversPath="" in the wintt.sif file
Readme.txt
Windows 2000 and Windows XP, the idechndr.inf, IdeBusDr.sys,
idechndr.sys, and Txtsetup.oem files need to be extracted.
To extract these files, run 'SETUP -A -P <path>' as described
above.)
Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows XP:
// Insert the lines below into the UNATTEND.TXT file
[MassStorageDrivers]
"Intel® 82801BA Ultra ATA Controller" = OEM
"Primary IDE Channel" = OEM
"Secondary IDE Channel" = OEM
[OEMBootFiles]
idechndr.inf
IdeBusDr.sys
IdeChnDr.sys
Txtsetup.oem
The IprtCnst.dll file must be placed in the following
folder in your directory structure in order to be loaded
during driver installation:
C:\I386\$Oem$\$$\System32
Thanks for any help on this
@ahmedramzi
Create a folder under %SOURCEDIR%\$OEM$ called TEXTMODE.
For example if your %SOURCEDIR% is C:\I386, you should have this
C:\I386\$Oem$\textmode
Copy all 3 files
idechndr.inf
IdeBusDr.sys
IdeChnDr.sys
+
Txtsetup.oem in this dir.
During install, setup search for the files in the [OEMBootFiles] section in the TEXTMODE folder wich should contains all mass storage drivers for unattended installation.
And don't forget : the IprtCnst.dll file must be placed in the following
folder in your directory structure in order to be loaded
during driver installation:
C:\I386\$Oem$\$$\System32
Hope it will answer your question.
