would it be possible to just remove any line containing 3112 in txtsetup.sif and leaving the 3112r?

hmm.. i might have the same error you have. I myself only have one harddrive but I think my windows install is thinking of the drivers as SATALink instead of Raid.

Ooo thanks, i'll try that out did you just replace the older drivers and thats it?

try executing a batch file that would then start the installer, maybe that will work :\

Yes, I am 100% sure that the drivers are on my CD, they seem to match the one that came with my NF7-s motherboard. SiliconImage 3112A SATA are the drivers. I'm sure the winnt.sif is correct or windows would not read my drive.

There seems to be a problem with my hardware or the type of Windows that I use when I try to use an unattended install. I have both a working, real XP key and the OEM versions of Windows XP Professional. When I use my original Windows CD that is the Gold version or the one I slipstreamed myself with SP2 it ALWAYS will install correctly. When I try the Windows XP Professional OEM version that also has SP2 slipstreamed it does not work. I will get a BSOD on the reboot after formatting and copying files over. The BSOD contains a stop about removing any new hard drives or hard drive controllers. I am currently using a.. ABIT NF7-s Rev2.0 Maxtor 80 gig DiamondMax9 SATA 512MB PC3200 RAM Geil I'm really not sure why it stops... I've been messing around with the BIOS settings and my hard drive. Could it be that the drivers on CD are corrupt or broken? I've tried this with two different XP Pro OEM versions and they have come to the same result.

i recommend VMware, it is FAST and much better then microsoft VM

I've only noticed myself using my right thumb to push the [sPACEBAR]. My left thumb is kinda just... there

weird.. i have two versions of windows on me, pro corp and the retail pro. when i use your installer on the retail xp pro, i get the error that CypherBit and me have found. if i use the XP with the corp key i encounter no errors!

i used the copy drivers and add to winnt.sif unfortunately i keep doing something wrong and the drivers won't load :\

it seems the sceduler component is cuasing the problem, i just deleted after the it installs, now it works well

yeah, it does still reboot when i use it in runonceex

works! thanks ryanvm, using all of your silent install packages and they are superb!

weird :\ it does the same on mine also

A moment ago I tried to run my unattended disk that I had the SCSI/SATA DriverPack + BTS's LAN on. Windows install would not read the HD but I'm sure it should. I copied over the exact winnt.sif from my previous setup that worked perfectly which had the HD DriverPack and then added the lines that were needed for the LAN Pack... This is how it looks...

aw.. :\ thanks i'l do that now

nope :\ I was planning to but decided to be on the safe side and not. i'm a n00b at this so any help would be appreciated B)

Stop being lazy and do a search in google for the program. @Maverick - I also use metapad instead of notepad and I found it much easier to replace metapad during installation itself rather than do all the crap by replacing it all over the place. Rename metapad.exe to notepad.exe, then do a makecab notepad.exe, then use modifype on notepad.exe and finally replace the original notepad.ex_ with the modified metapad/notepad in the I386 folder. wouldn't you first use modifyPE and then cab it?

hm.. i tried this method but windows gave me an error saying it wasn't able to register it because it wasn't a registry key.. would this be because i'm in virtual PC or did i type something wrong?

whoops.. used the wrong setup.exe thanks for all the help, people here are really supportive

yay your awesome, i tried out the LAN pack, its top notch

thank you btw.. the folder does it contain a .msi file because i have a setup.exe file instead

LoL@skybl4ck sorry but i can't add a how-to-rar-sfx with every guide. i thought the instructions were clear enough, just add the files to a rar, then mark make exe file and in the comments tab add the comment between tags. thanks i was just confused about where to put the comment

Simon's first post has the entire tutorial. when he says make a SFX file thats where i'm confused paste the code into notepad and save as -----.sfx?
