Hi, Im having a nightmare time getting some new Dell Precision 490s working with RIS. Ive got a RISETUP Windows XP Pro SP2 image with the required textmode drivers that works fine. I installed it onto one of the machines, then installed a couple of required applications and RIPREP'd it. I then went to install this new RIPREP image onto another machine and it failed after the PXE boot, saying the machine had no partitions available. This is obviously because it needs the TEXTMODE driver, but I would of expected it to have been included as it was part of the RISETUP image? I've tried to get it working with the second RIPREP image but it just refuses to see the SATA drives. I've tried added the OEM & TEXTMODE drivers to the new image, and played around with the riprep.sif endlessly but am having no joy. Am I missing something obvious, or going about this in the wrong way? Cheers Paul
