thanks guys, i've just made a comparison with the winxp deployment tool Setupmgr and there are some differences with nlite. I'm going to try to put in those differences into my winnt.sif and see how it goes. thanks again.

Hi guys, I used nLite to create an Unattended winxp CD and everything works except for the NetAdapter1 section. It seems as though my NetAdapter1 presets were not applied after installation is complete. When the installation is completed and Winxp started correctly, I had to go to the Control Panel -> Network Connections to manually configure the Local Area Connection's IP addresses (pls take note that the internet connection is fine after that). I'm kinda new to nLite so I hope you can help me on this. If you need any other info, pls let me know.

If you put the whole NVIDIA chipset driver package content into your created 001_CHIPSET folder, you won't get any chipset driver installed. Reason: All the driver INF files are laying in different subfolders and the XP Setup routine will not find them. The INF files have to be in the root directory of the special drivers subfolder.Why don't you use nLite? The driver integration is very easy and nearly done automaticly by this tool. If you want to do the driver integration manually, do the following: 1. Check which nForce chipset drivers (IDE/RAID, SMBus, Ethernet, Audio, Gart etc.) you need (it depends on your hardware configuration). 2. Create new driver subfolders for each driver you need (for example 000_RAID, 001_SMBus, 002_Ethernet etc.). 3. Put the content of the appropiate chipset driver package subfolder into the just created subfolders. Be aware, that the needed INF files are in the root of each subfolder. Hi, Thanks for ur reply. It really helps me to understand the whole process. But what about the base folder? The one with the setup.exe, data1.cab and etc?

anybody? I'm using this method to create my CD: http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/34/ I dunno how to handle nforce drivers.

Hi guys, Need ur advice for Nforce 4 Series AMD drivers... I have extracted the installation file from NVIDIA but there are myriads of files and directories inside it. Can I dump the whole NVIDIA directory, untouched, into my "$OEM$/$1/drivers/001_CHIPSET" folder? I also see folders like IDE, RAID, SMBus inside it. Will they be automatically installed too? thanks. PS: this is for my WINXP SP2 cd.
