If adding the file to a CD, I see lots of references to the $OEM$. I tried adding the same content on a floppy, and setup "sees" the content, but returns various errors - syntax errors, or other errors while trying to load the driver. I did find the following KB on Microsoft's website, but still wondering if someone has a method for getting this to work. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/234536/en-us I couldn't find any other documents on Microsoft's website which I could get working. If there is a certain KB/page which I should reference, please let me know.

Hello all - I'm trying to create an unattended install for WinXP using a Microsoft created CD-based install. The setup cd correctly loads my winnt.sif file from a floppy, however, unless I press F6, I receive a message that no hard drives were detected. If I press F6, I see the needed driver in the list, and I can select it and everything completes successfully. Both my device driver and my winnt.sif file are on the same floppy. I have seen several posts which indicate a method of how to load the drivers by editing the Windows XP CD and adding/changing files & folders. However, I can't (don't want to) have a special WinXP CD for this deployment. I've tried several methods, but either setup ignores my settings, or throws errors -- which are most likely both because I've missed something or have the syntax incorrect. Can I simply tell my winnt.sif file to load the driver from the floppy disk? In particular, I'm trying to load the vmware scsi controller driver. Thanks
