basically - if you need voer 4096 characters.....you need to chill with the USB ports....lol

isn't all the USB handled already in Sp1a...so it shouldn't be an issue if you slipstream it and just silent isntall the print device?

awesome..i'll add that to my disk for sure now maybe my nasty hack for silently 'install' all the creative apps will work, as it has creative drivers/hardware to work with...lol

[Unattended] DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore not if that's in your winnt.sif it won't

then the LANG folder(all 90 megs, or whatever) can go

it may work, but as he said...drive letters reside within windows, nto the BIOS woudl it be possible to say, for example: Disk 0_ide 1\Drivers\xxx or somethign like that that is OS independant?

thanks...i was wonderign why it didn't work anyways...if and when Omega gives me hsi blessing hsi driver's isntall the control panel along with the drivers all from one setup file..so that should be interesting to play with

why not use the 4.9 beta's? and i know the file structure may look a little different...as I said...I use omega's drivers...but until he gives me permission to use his tweaks, I have just modified the normal catalyst driver's .INF files and used his file tree. Once he allows me to I will use his INF files. I plan to test this some more in an hour or 2 so look for an update

i'm at a loss then...it seems ti should work as long as you declare it in your oemPnPDrivers strin in winnt.sif and put it in the proper folder in $OEM$\$1\Drivers\xxx maybe give this method a shot: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=12566

i prefer VMWare, if for nothing else, it's interface si FAR superior....and i coudln't find out hwo to emulate SCSI hard disks in VPC...lol

also note that there was a leaked version of the SP2_RTM_ENU that was leaked that IS NOT DIGITALLY SIGNED this could be the cause for many of your problems try redownloading Sp2 directly from microsoft if you didn't get it there already and use that copy instead

first off SkipMissingFiles=Yes where in winnt.sif does this go..iw as lookign for something like that...lol secondly www.omegadrivers.net has performance enhanced ati/nvidia drivers worth looking at that may actually be easier to get to install...i really don't knwo anythign about nvidia drivers as i own a 9800 pro...lol

is there a veriosn number in the inf file? if so windows may be overriding it by default if it think's its own are better also...you can delete the readme and what doesnt hat modem hold utility do(you may nto need it either)

yes, but as i merely edited the .reg file, the .reg file will change with every subsequent release as well the rest remains the same, all that will change is that tiny little number

no problem...after much though't i'm not sure the CP will install straight out of oemPnPDrivers as there is no .inf file involved and onyl a setup.exe file...but i suppose it's worth a shot...if not, it can go in the .cmd file as i said

alrighty, after much fighting with windows and bending it to my will via .inf file hacking ...i have done it i have a working install of the catalyst drivers (once i get permission i will update it with omega's tweaks/settings) i also have a working install for the control panel that is yet to be tested as an unnattended isntall, but it works great as a basic setup file, meaning if all else fails, it can be added to start.cmd i also got my RAID working too im having a good day so, for all of you who haven't been able to get the catalyst drivers working without using that russian package (ick)...this is for you. this is going on the Catalyst 4.7 and the accompanying Control panel: DRIVERS: first off, delete all the useless garbage...here's my folder here's my 2KXP_INF folder: anything is else garbage, as it deals with windows 2000, NT, etc also..if you're really stingy you can edit out all the settings in 2KXP_INF\CX_16126.inf that don't deal with your card (9800 series = r350 settings, ect)..i would leave the default settings as a failsafe backup tho......doing this onyl saves a few dozen KBs, but it makes the drivers load a good bit quicker then simply put everything from the 1st screen cap up there into $OEM$/$1/Drivers/xxx and declare it in oemPnPDrivers within winnt.sif CONTROL PANEL: here's my CP folder: notice again the missing win2k files, and fireGL files(unless you have a fireGL card, which i doubt most of you do) now for the part that is optional, but very helpful in the to .reg files(it's in both, change it in both instances) down towards the bottom makes sure your [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ATI Technologies\Desktop\CPTemplate\16126\Desktop\] section looks like this: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ATI Technologies\Desktop\CPTemplate\16126\Desktop\] "DisableQuickRes"=hex:00,00,00,00 "HelpID"="0" "OEMSystemIcon"="0" "EnableIcon"="0" "NoAtipta"="1" "OEMPropertyPagesLogo"="0" "DeActivateAllWarningMessage"=hex:00,00,00,00 "OEMMenuSideBitmap"="0" "OEMOptionsBitmap"="0" "HideSwitchAmongstDisplay"=hex:00,00,00,00 "RegistrationOnLine"="OFF" this will eliminate the systray icon, and the 'registration' nag Now for the part i haven't yet tested (i'll do ti 1st thign tomorrow and update this) i THINK this can also go in $OEM$/$1/Drivers/xxx, which would give you both a CP and a Cat folder within $OEM$/$1/Drivers/xxx BE SURE TO DECLARE BOTH IN oemPnPDrivers within winnt.sif!!! if that doesn't work put them in your $OEM$/$1/Installs folder and either declare it in the appropriate .cmd files hope this helps all you ati people...enjoy!!!! UPDATE: It appears all this can go from the i386 folder as well (this is Sp2 slipstream, so if you don't have it, that's probably why) do not attempt to replace the files in i386 with the ati ones...haha...that won't work (no hotkey poller, no OGL drivers, etc)

for the logo just put oemlogo.bmp and oeminfo.ini in $OEM$\$$\System32 here's how oeminfo should look: [General] Manufacturer=Impulse Developers Model=XeoTsunami [OEMSpecific] SubModel= SerialNo=007 OEM1= OEM2= [support Information] Line1=Support Contact: Line2= Line3=John Kalland Line4=aka pr0digal jenius Line5= Line6=pr0digaljenius@yahoo.com Line7=AIM = pr0digaljenius Line8=MSN = panik_button@mailcity.com or somethign similiar
