Hi there, We have just purchased 55 HP DC7800p ultra slim desktops and I have succesfully used RIS to get a Windows XP image on them. While looking for information on this I found your problem and thought I would respond as this site has helped me many times in the past. Firstly go to the HP website and get the correct drivers for the Intel NIC for Windows XP found here. http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechS...Item=ir-57735-1 Extract the files from the sp38466.exe using something like Winrar. I then simply followed the instructions found in the readme.txt in PRO1000\Win32\RIS_INF Go to the PRO100 folder and copy all the files from the Win32 folder to your image_root\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\HP_dc7800NIC directory. Go to your risndrd.sif file found in the i386\templates directory and edit it so read, [unattended] OemPreinstall = yes OemPnpDriversPath = \Drivers\HP_dc7800NIC Copy all the .sys files from the PRO1000\Win32 directory to the image_root\i386 directory but don't include the .INF files! Delete (or better still backup) the following files if found in the i386 directory, E1000325.PNF E1E5132.PNF Extract the INF files from the PRO1000\Win32\RIS_INF\E1000325 and PRO1000\Win32\RIS_INF\E1E5132 and copy them to the i386 directory. Restart the RIS service and away you go. Like I said before it worked for me so I hope this helps others. Si

Ok my DVD layout is as follows. ROOT\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\SI3112 ROOT\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\VT8237 ROOT\SETUP\XP\Professional\$OEM$ ROOT\SETUP\XP\Professional\I386 ROOT\SETUP\XP\Home\I386 ROOT\PRO1 ROOT\HOME1 As the PRO1 and HOME1 are boot information folders for the different OS's I made sure the following files were included. The Pro1 and HOME1 both contain a WINNT.SIF and TXTSETUP.SIF file. Both WINNT.SIF files have this under [unattended], OemPreinstall=Yes OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\SI3112;Drivers\VT8237" Both TXTSETUP.SIF Files have entries for the different drivers as explained in other threads. I also made a cab file from the SI3112 and VT8237 folders called SI3112R.SY_ and VIASRAID.SY_ Professional boots using the drivers and installs all the other software contained in its $OEM$ folder. Whereas the HOME version boots using the drivers and only installs the OS. Hope this helps you and others.

Hi I think I have just created the DVD that you want. My boot DVD has a root $OEM$ folder containing SATA drivers for all my OS's. I then have XP SP2 OS containing a $OEM$ folder to install additional software and another XP SP2 with no $OEM$ folder that just installs the bog standard OS. I have burnt and tested this DVD and it all works. Hope this makes sense. Is this what you are after????
