i know that the nvidia drivers do load, i see them when they do. im going to try to burn another cd with the updated files inserted wherever rasor has put them and see where that goes. however the raid disc that i got from my manufacturer doesnt include the following files: NvRaidEnu.dll NvRaidMan.exe nvraidservice.exe NvRaidSvEnu.dll NvRaidWizard.dll NvRaidWizardEnu.dll RegRaid.bat do i need them? and i believe that my xpcd should have enough room, it has about 50MB free on it. here's my winnt.sif, let me know if anything looks bad. i have textmode manual, and everything else is unattended. thanks for the reply! WINNTcopy.sif

i just used it to integrate the nvraid drivers into my xpcd for my new computer, since it wouldnt let me install the drivers from a floppy. i was so psyched wheni found this, it seemed like an awesome program. but using the xpcd i used this on makes my system reboot whenever it finishes loading all the drivers and stuff (the part where it says "Starting Windows..." after loading everything and before HD format options). what could be the problem? if i can get this to work i will be so happy. here's what it added to my winnt.sif file if you need that info: [B]Winnt.sif[/B] [MassStorageDrivers] "NVIDIA RAID CLASS DRIVER (required)" = "OEM" "NVIDIA NForce Storage Controller (required)" = "OEM" "IDE CD-ROM (ATAPI 1.2)/PCI IDE Controller" = "RETAIL" [OemBootFiles] TXTSETUP.OEM nvraid.sys nvraid.inf nvraidco.dll nvraid.cat nvatabus.sys nvatabus.inf idecoi.dll nvata.cat nvuide.exe nvide.nvu nvcoi.dll NvRaidEnu.dll NvRaidMan.exe nvraidservice.exe NvRaidSvEnu.dll NvRaidWizard.dll NvRaidWizardEnu.dll RegRaid.bat [B]TXTSETUP.OEM (probably is nothin wrong here but i thought id include it anyways)[/B] [Disks] d1 = "NVIDIA RAID DRIVER (SCSI)", \disk1, \ [scsi] RAIDCLASS = "NVIDIA RAID CLASS DRIVER (required)" BUSDRV = "NVIDIA NForce Storage Controller (required)" [Defaults] scsi = RAIDCLASS [Files.scsi.RAIDCLASS] driver = d1, nvraid.sys,RAIDCLASS inf = d1, nvraid.inf inf = d1, nvraidco.dll catalog = d1, nvraid.cat [Files.scsi.BUSDRV] driver = d1, nvatabus.sys,BUSDRV inf = d1, nvatabus.inf inf = d1, idecoi.dll catalog = d1, nvata.cat [Config.RAIDCLASS] [Config.BUSDRV] [HardwareIds.scsi.RAIDCLASS] id = "GenNvRaidDisk","nvraid" id = "*_NVRAIDBUS","nvraid" [HardwareIds.scsi.BUSDRV] id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_008E", "nvatabus" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0085", "nvatabus" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00D5", "nvatabus" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00EE", "nvatabus" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00E3", "nvatabus" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00E5", "nvatabus" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0035", "nvatabus" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0036", "nvatabus" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_003E", "nvatabus" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0053", "nvatabus" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0054", "nvatabus" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0055", "nvatabus" and yes i do use rasor, i think its really cool you should definitely continue work on it.

What i would like to see is a clean firefox silent installer with a method to import an entire profile in (as default or otherwise, but preferrably default). that would be what i would like to see (a method to export profiles in a way to facilitate their import later would be cool in addition to this). anyone have any opiniosn on this?

its not a problem with sunjava, its microsoft's VM in the way that they changed so much to make certain things different or incompatible. yahoo games is probably coded using microsoft's changes in java, which is bad since only IE users using the MS VM can see it normally like you noticed. just know that it's nto suns problem, its yahoo's and microsofts problem for not coding to standard java which is in theory the same on all platforms.

i had a similar problem and posted about it sometime last week i think. the answer i got was this: first run itunessetup.exe with the flag /R. this creates a setup.iss file in the windows directory. this file basically describes what options you chose in the install. make a backup of it, and then the /S /v /qn switch will work (as long as the iss file is still in the windows directory. the same trick works (i think) with the ipod system software setup. since in my unattended cd i have both programs install, i store each iss file in the same dir as the installer, and do a cmd /C copy sourcefile %windir%/setup.iss in my runonceex batch. hope this helps! oh, btw i dont think quicktime matters much, but you're gonna want to have it not installed prior to making the iss file, because if it is one option during the setup wont appear and therefore wont get recorded.

ok, so good except for 2 things 1st, just to make sure, when i have the iss file made, i put it in the same folder as the itunessetup exe right? or do i keep it in the windows folder 2nd, it installs but the installer program doesnt quit. this is a problem if i try to do this from RunOnceEx i think, or even from a batch file. this might just be a problem with the iss file but im not entirely sure. any insight on this issue?

ive been trying to get my unattended windows disc to install itunes and ipod system software silently and it doesnt work. i use the "/S /v /qn" switches in a normal batch file just to see if they'll install and it never goes through. is there something i could be missing, maybe a newer version of windows installer is needed? i slipstreamed SP2 into it as well as added things like adobe reader and .net framework and firefox, and those all installed fine. does anyone know what i can do? edit: i forgot to mention that the setup.log file that the itunessetup.exe generates has a response code of -3. anyone know anything about this?
