Hi
a big thanks to one and all
im using XPCREATE to get around a bsod problem with f6 N-lite gave me
and have been succesfull in installing the promise drivers for the boards on board raid
its an MSI K7N2 DELTA ILSR
http://us-download.msi.com.tw/support/dvr_exe/37653.exe
I have two of these
and in my main pc i use a highpoint controller as i own no sata drives
the 3 rd ide only supports a single ide drive in raid
so to the cd i wish to and the high point drivers as well
can i just have 2x raid folders in the drivers folder
ie
RAIDP with the promise drivers in it and
RAIDH with the highpoint drivers in it
and add a second command like this to the .sif file
OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\RAIDP;Drivers\RAIDH;Driv.........ETC

well ive cracked this programme installing lark
get InstallRite
http://www.epsilonsquared.com/anonymous/InstallRite25.exe
your best having a second pc with an nforce board
but at a push a spare drive and burner will do
do a clean install of xp on another drive
install InstallRite
now install your programme
but use InstallRite to do it
pick the bit at the top looks like a lightening bolt
browse to the programmes exe and it will install it
click all the next bits etc and finish as normal
afterwards InstallRite will pop up again
click next and you will get to a bar says finish
dont click that now
look up and you will see a button says make an install kit
make sure the name you use here is small less than 8 letters
the last screen has a bit were you can tick to force them not to reboot if the installer wants in,and a force silent install
tick them as the batch file will reboot the pc after all are installed
trick
if with say nero you want it to install all registered ready to run
use nero now and insert your registration details
now uninstall it
delete the kit you made before
reinstall nero
this time it will pick up on your previous registration
save this one as a kit to use
do this for all your programmes you want to use
and you can test them as well at this stage on another clean install
now you need to make start.cmd
use note pad
here below is my current one as an example
you need to edit yours to reflect the name of your install kits

now assuming you allready are installing your drivers you will
have made your folders as here
http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/oemfolders.htm
now copy this $OEM$ to your xpcd file your building the iso in
note my Install file is INSTALL in the above
inside the INSTALL folder i have another folder called SOFTWARE
Put all your install kits and start.cmd into SOFTWARE
now i assume you have allready made a WINNT.sif file thats in your
I386 folder well now you need to add this to the bottom of it
[GuiRunOnce]
%systemdrive%\INSTALL\SOFTWARE\start.cmd
now make the iso then burn it
and this lot should all install fine
for this i have been using nLite 0.97
using nLite 0.97 ,the information in this thread,the bit above
i now have an xp install cd with 2149 sp2 on it
a load of crap like messanger ,unneeded drivers etc removed from it
and the 6 bits of software listed thats less than 400mb
so i will be making more install kits later to fill up the cd
if you wonder why NvMixer is in the list
its because using the drivers way it never installed fully for me
it was in the drivers file on c but i still had to run its installer
but it does now

hi
if you have NFODIZ installed as im sure many do be aware it likes to change the
file name of the Winnt.sif to Winnt.sif.txt
this took me some time to spot whilst getting frustrated at nothing happening

by the way the image im using was made with latest nlite and as such works great
but no drivers etc are getting installed
is it because i used the nlite wizard to put the key and other bits in
