I haven't found a good explanation of how to choose between TEXTMODE and PnP integration of drivers. The drivers I am most concerned about are my WinXP Promise SATA378 controller and my VIA SATA RAID controller. I have a MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R motherboard, if that helps. But, I just need to figure out TEXTMODE vs PnP. Thanks. -John

I've always had the problem when doing a clean install of telling the Windows install process which HDD to reformat and claim for the install. If I remember correctly, it doesn't define them by their letters, but by their disk numbers. This is a problem because I have 5 hard drives on the system. How can I tell an unattended install through nliteos to install on the right drive? Will it ask me? Four of the drives are connected through 3rd party SATA controllers, and I fear that if the SATA drivers don't install correctly, then it will default install on my PATA drive, which is not where I want it. Thanks. Any help is appreciated. -John
