Hi Did all that, but still receive "The file iaStor.sys could not be found." What I can't understand is why I keep getting "the file could not be found" error, when the file is clearly present in both, the boot CD and in the installation media.

Hello all, I've got some annoying problem with unattended installation, it always fails with error "The file iaStor.sys could not be found." The installation starts with boot from cd and after copying the files comes reboot and then the installation continues from network share - during this final step the installation fails with the abovementioned error. the network share structure looks like this: \I386 (contains IASTOR.SY_) -\$OEM$ --\$1 ---\Drivers ----\SATA (contains Intel SATA drivers) --\$$ ---\PnP ---\SYSTEM32 --\TEXTMODE (contains Intel SATA drivers) -\ASMS -\COMPDATA -\DRW -\LANG -\SYSTEM32 Also, I'd like to point out that I did not create this network share, I would just like to modify it to make the installation work properly. This how the relevant part of the unattend.txt looks like SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=1 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" [Shell] ; This section specifies user interface DefaultStartPanelOff=Yes [Unattended] OemPreinstall=yes ExtendOemPartition=0 FileSystem=ConvertNTFS UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS UnattendSwitch=yes ; OemPnPDriversPath specifies the path to folders that contains Plug and Play drivers ; that do not ship on the Windows XP CD.
