ALTHOUGH I'M NEW TO THIS I DO KNOW HOW TO READ A GUIDE, i'll just point to this on the green machine guide where i got my sata info from.... Most of this information can be derived from the .INF file name of your driver. Replace Si3112 with the that name (less the extension) in the example above. The remaining information, the PCI strings and the Driver Name, can be found in your TXTSETUP.OEM file. Anyway thanks for the help for those who were helping and not just taking the p*** i've changed the .sif.txt to .sif no joy - what i meant by get to the enter screen is... i put the disc in allowing to boot from cd-rom then get to the menu with f3 enter or escape (i think) nothing happens from there i have to go thru all the selections therefore not unattended!!! Any ideas i'm going mad
