Can somone plz help me here with this? I really need to solve this..........

What's wrong with the drivers path?

I tried using a fresh copy of txtsetup.sif off the original cd (with the appropraite lines added) -----> still the same. The error mesasage doesn't appear immediately when it boots off the cd - setup starts & loads some files etc. The error appears right after I choose which disk/partition to install to and then it proceeds with a disk check then BAM!!! (after the create/format/install-to-partition screen in the blue text mode setup). I just can't figure this out..................

Well I tried it again with the edited lines in txtsetup.sif Blyster posted but I'm still getting the same error message What Value 0 & key "SP1.cab" is it referring to and what do I do to fix it? Anyone else have any ideas about this? I'm stuck and not getting anywhere with this.............

Thx for the help m8 - I'll try it out now Btw, the only thing I see you changed is: si3112.sys = 1,,,,,,4_,4,1,,,1,4 What difference does this make? I guess what I'm trying to say is why do you put a 4 there instead of a 3 and how do you know exactly what sequence of numbers & commas to put under the [sourceDisksFiles] header?

I've made my unattended CD (slipstreamed with SP1 & the rollup) with the help of MSFN 's guide and reading through various threads here and before I tried it out I double checked all the files etc for any errors or if anything was missing but couldn't find anything. Unfortunately isn't working properly - it stops during the textmode setup portion stating the following error: What exactly does this mean? The only .sif files I found are txtsetup.sif & winnt.sif and I couldn't see anything relating to this error?? The only lines I've addeed/changed in txtsetup.sif are the following ones for the SATA & RAID drivers: [SourceDisksFiles] si3112.sys = 1,,,,,,3_,4,1 [SCSI.load] si3112 = si3112.sys,4 [SCSI] si3112 = "Silicon Image SiI 3112 SATALink Controller" [HardwareIds.SCSI.Si3112_XP] id = "PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3112&SUBSYS_31121095", "Si3112" id = "PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3112&SUBSYS_34238086", "Si3112" id = "PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3112&SUBSYS_311215D9", "Si3112" id = "PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3112&SUBSYS_B0021458", "Si3112" id = "PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3112&SUBSYS_01661028", "Si3112" id = "PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3112&SUBSYS_82141033", "Si3112" id = "PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3512&SUBSYS_35121095", "Si3112" id = "PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3512&SUBSYS_01661028", "Si3112" [SourceDisksFiles] hpt3xx.sys = 1,,,,,,4_,4,1,,,1,4 [HardwareIdsDatabase] id = "PCI\VEN_1103&DEV_0005","hpt3xx" id = "PCI\VEN_1103&DEV_0004","hpt3xx" id = "PCI\VEN_1103&DEV_0006","hpt3xx" [SCSI.load] hpt3xx = hpt3xx.sys,4 [SCSI] hpt3xx = "HighPoint HPT3xx ATA RAID Controller (WinXP)" Here's my winnt.sif: ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" [Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS Repartition=No UnattendSwitch="yes" WaitForReboot="No" DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\000_msd\SI3112A_ide;Drivers\000_msd\HighPoint_372; Drivers\001_chipset\nVidia\gart;Drivers\001_chipset\nVidia\ide;Drivers\001_chipset\nVidia\ide\itb; Drivers\001_chipset\nVidia\memctl;Drivers\001_chipset\nVidia\smbus;Drivers\002_network; Drivers\004_sound\Plantronics;Drivers\004_sound\Philips;Drivers\005_monitor;Drivers\007_printer\Epson_880\winxp" KeyboardLayout="Swedish" [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=110 OemSkipWelcome=1 [UserData] ProductKey=xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx FullName="xxxxx xxxxxxx" OrgName="xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx" ComputerName=xxxxx [Display] BitsPerPel=32 Xresolution=1024 YResolution=768 Vrefresh=100 [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=7,9,1 SystemLocale=00001009 UserLocale=00001009 InputLocale=1009:00000409 [Identification] JoinWorkgroup=Home [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=No [NetAdapters] Adapter1=params.Adapter1 [params.Adapter1] INFID=* [NetClients] MS_MSClient=params.MS_MSClient [NetServices] MS_SERVER=params.MS_SERVER MS_PSched=params.MS_PSched [NetProtocols] MS_TCPIP=params.MS_TCPIP [params.MS_TCPIP] DNS=No UseDomainNameDevolution=No EnableLMHosts=No AdapterSections=params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1 [params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1] SpecificTo=Adapter1 DHCP=No IPAddress=xxx.xxx.x.x SubnetMask=255.255.255.0 DefaultGateway=xxx.xxx.x.x DNSServerSearchOrder=xxx.xx.xxx.x,xxx.xx.xxx.x WINS=No NetBIOSOptions=2 [Branding] BrandIEUsingUnattended=Yes [URL] Home_Page=http://vintageamps.com/PlexiPalaceUBBcgi/ultimatebb.cgi [Components] AutoUpdate=Off Calc=Off Charmap=On Chat=Off Clipbook=Off Deskpaper=Off Dialer=Off Fax=Off Fp_extensions=Off Fp_vdir_deploy=Off Media_clips=Off Media_utopia=Off msmsgs=Off msnexplr=Off mswordpad=Off Paint=Off freecell=Off hearts=Off minesweeper=Off pinball=Off Rootautoupdate=On solitaire=Off spider=Off templates=Off WMAccess=Off zonegames=Off [Shell] DefaultStartPanelOff=Yes DefaultThemesOff=Yes [GuiRunOnce] Any help would be greatly appreciated..............
