I have a little problem with my unattended setup. I use a EXE to play MP3 Files during GUI Setup, beginning at T32. But if then XP Setup reboots (T0) there is A BSOD, if i use a configuration with the damned Soundmax-driver. I must switch off and on the computer and and the istallation is still running with GUI RunOnce If i cancel the MP3 playing EXE, no error. So i thought : if it is possible to close the program just a little moment before XP reboots, i got no error and i have FULL unattended setup. (Without pressing the power button) Is it possible to run a AUTOIT Script to close the playing file ? But its only with Soundmax Audio Chips, no problem at Realtek AC97 or HDA Devices. I also tried out Media Player Classic at T12, same Problem BSOD at Reboot.

Normally it shoud work with BCDW 2.01 look this FAQ: http://www.wolfgang-brinkmann.de

I have a problem with my unattended CD. I have in my OEMPnPDriverPath Motorola and Smartlink Driver, because i have varios configurations of notebooks and desktops. But if i install a machine with smartlink modem, it installs motorola drivers. Is it possible, that they have same PnPIDs ? Can i edit the inf file and delete some PnP IDs ? I have tried it, but now on a machine with motorola modem NOP driver is installed. What can i do.....????

Yeah, Problem solved.... I run: devcon remove *hdaudio* and devcon rescan and the Realtek drivers are installed....now i must test, if it works also with CMI.

At the momemt i run a little animation film during setup, started with detachedprograms in winnt.sif. But i habe no sound in this phase of setup. At T12 i play some MP3 files,runs fine, but is it possible to have sound at t32 or earlier ?

No solution for my problem.... 888111 slipstreamed, Sound at T12 and at GUIRunOnce. The Realtek Audio Manager anfd the MS Mixer symbol are ready. Then, if i make a reboot. i lost this 2 symbols. Then i can use devicemanager to change the driver manually (from MS to Realtek),reboot - have Sound.

...oh,oh,oh,oh.....i am a fool....today i looked for a solution and i found: The realtek drivers was on cd, but not in OEM PnP driver path....now i will add it and try again on Monday morning..... (at my Notebook installation) But its interesting: At my desktop test PC, the driver (CMI+CMI control paneel) were added and installed with unattended install. But when i reboot, no CMI driver is activ, but the MS driver.( Normally no problem, but the record function is disabled, if MS drivers are activated) But if i then change the driver back to CMI and reboot - the CMI driver is still activ !

I had also problems with Me AND 98 at a DVD. But i have used cdimage to "optimize". I believe Cdimage has a problem with the files of the 2 systems. If i make a bootable DVD without "optimizing", it runs fine together on one disk.

Im going crazy... i slipstreamed the 88811 and i also tried to run Realtek Setup -s in GUI Runonce. I hear sound. But after next reboot -no sound. I think this must be a problem of the device drivers - MS drivers. If i look in the INF-folder, there is the oem4.inf (MS -hdaudio.inf) Normally it should be the realtek.inf file - Its a integrated HDA device on a FSC Amilo notebook. At my test-desktop computers the HDA devices (Realtek or CMI Azalia) are installed very fine - but if i use the same boot/install DVD with this notebook i have this problems. After unattended install the Realtek HDA device is installed and when i make a reboot - no sound, no mixer symbol...

...very interesting. I thought i had a solution, started the 888111 at T12 (cmdlines.txt). -I had sound at the installation process (play a mp3 with mp-classic) and at the first reboot (GUI RunOnce). The soundchip is installed as MS-device (Realtek 880/860). But if i make a second reboot - no sound, but the same MS HDA AudioDevice is installed. Then i can change manually to Realtek HDA - i have Sound.

yes i did

I have a little problem with MS HDA. After unattended install, the MS- drivers are being installed, but not the Realtek drivers. I can than change them manually, but not in the unattended installation. Whats gong wrong ? I use KB888111 with svcpack.inf...any ideas ?

If you must change your Motherboard and you have no warranty on this board (and cant get a board of your manufacturer) you must activate your version, because the XP Versions are Bios bundled. Normally this is no problem, to activate a SLP Version like a normal Retail/OEM Version over internet or telephon. But some people have fear to do that...why???!!! But sometimes there is a solution...you can add/change a bios string to use your XP version without activation. At the monent this is possible with the most AWARD/AMI Bios versions. (I dont found a solution with Phoenix Versions.)

I also use ms windiag and boot the image from bcdw. i think its possible. Windiag find the errors in the memory. I also think, that bcdw isnt active, when windiag is running,because if you exit the windiag memory test, the system reboots, there is no return to bcdw...

Is there anywhere a "universal" driver for the nvidia notebook graphics ? Normally only the manufacturer of the notebook support "his" chip. But if i wanna create a universal install CD, i need to much nvidia go drivers. Is there a patched driver version luke the omega drivers (ATI) ?

..it doesnt run. Habe tried some configurations, load pictures from harddisk, dvd - no function. But now im play a little animation film on detached.cmd and mp3 files with cmdlines.txt .... "multimedia setup"....

...but if i start slideshow.hta after the installation it runs fine...

I tried this, but it doesnt run. Have put some "pause" in the detached.cmd to see how it runs....no function, no error message...im going creazy... Have canceled deteched.cmd (STRG+C) and start the slideshow manually at the prompt...the same problem....

Now i have tried it. But it doesnt run. It starts the second line after the driver install but.... The file (*.hta) is looking for a linked program (... Select a program from the list) and in the list i have only Notepad.....whats going wrong ?

i allways use a program under detachdedprograms to install my compressed driver archiv. Is it possible to run a second cmd-file at this time or can i use the start /wait parameter to run the slideshow after the driver installation ?

I think CDIMAGE needs more temp. space on disk. (more than the Iso -size) I also work with a Xin1 DVD (35GB without CDimage compression, Iso is 4,31GB), and use the parameters h n b o m inm cdimage-GUI, works great...

I would add the BartPE Ramloader ( I hope you know what i mean) Edition to my BootDVD. But i have allready the BartXPE Version on this disk, so i thougt i add it as an Iso file. I have create an Iso from my bootable Ramloader CD and tested it with MS Virtual PC, runs fine. Then i add it to my bootable DVD, have edit bootcat.ini , then make the DVD-Iso with CDIMGEGUI and burned it. But when i boot from BCDW Menu the i have got the error: NTLDR not found Any ideas ? Other isos, like Memtest1.50 runs fine....

i had the same Problem with the CMI HDA device. Now i use the normal driver installation - OEMPnPDriverPath in winnt.sif - and add the MS Patch in svcpack.inf - runs fine.

@RogueSpear: I also make experiments since a few weeks with this method and i have no problems to run my 7zip files from DVD ! Tried it with some machines from Celeron 1300 up to a P4 3,4 and all runs fine. As PC Tech i must install every day some machines, so i can test the various configurations, Desktops and Notebooks. And no errors..... I have only one 7zip archiv that contains all my drivers an has a size of 254MB compressed. It decompress from T39-T37 and all runs fine. I also use the path D\.... and my winnt.sif OEMPnPFilesPath is exactly the same like the archive is expanded to disk.

Sorry, but i dont use the driverpack, have my own drivers(only for our selled machines)...but i will try your tip, because i believe my realtek drivers are not the newest. Another question to tip3: I haver heared something about the devcon utility, have it also downloaded, but how it works ? I have a so called ScaleoUpdatePack from FSC, which uses this utility. It scans all hardware on the machine and installs the newest drivers for it. But idont know how it works -there are no commandline parameters, it installs through a *exe file and a 7zip archive.
