its defo /s and not -s

yes

1. i just wonder if it is possible to bring up some questions right before the install, where you can enter things like ip address, computer name and so on maybe its possible if dos variables are used for instance %computername% and this is used in winnt.sif then but how to start the windows install from DOS then? and this also needs some extra drivers for CDROM under DOS 2. also i want to move a folder after installation, tried 4nt.exe which has a move but this leaves a window open 3. is it possible to do a auto login without putting the password in clear text to registry? i know there would be a way to do it if the password would be just blank but then i have to change it later manualy i need only auto login once because installation will continue after the first logon or if there is a command to change the password without seeing it in cleartext, would also help me (like the hash in winnt.sif) i have to hand out the unattended cd to some guys and i dont want that they can read the password btw. how safe is the encrypted password in winnt.sif ?

in what install state this window will appear? i dont want to really sit 20mins in front of the box to see that screen

found some: http://members.aon.at/equinox/wpi http://xplode.voidfx.com http://www.heisig-it.de/downl/xpinstall.zip which one does you suit best?

aaah thanks this here: normaly this shouldnt hurt when i install it or?this is different than the existing entry: existing: and this is more or less the same: and this is the important one: so just copy this extracted file to there? normaly it should take then the old packed file or is it so smart that it always takes the unextracted file? mraid35x.sys new driver mraid35x.sy_ old driver i am just asking because it installs now but on the final reboot it fails, i left all old PCI entries in txtsetup.sif and compressed the new mraid35x.sys to mraid35x.sy_ with replacing the existing file

its really a crap ! now i tried it with inserting the driverfiles into $oem$\textmode then i modified the txtsetup.oem a bit (removed the win2000 section): [Disks] PERC32 = "DELL PERC RAID Products for Windows 2003 (x86)", \mraid,\ [Defaults] scsi = PERC32 [scsi] PERC32 = "DELL PERC RAID Products for Windows 2003 (x86)", mraid35x [Files.scsi.PERC32] driver = PERC32, mraid35x.sys, mraid35x inf = PERC32, oemsetup.inf, mraid35x inf = PERC32, nodev.inf catalog = PERC32, percraid.cat [HardwareIds.scsi.PERC32] PERC32 = "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_11121111", "mraid35x" PERC32 = "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_11111111", "mraid35x" PERC32 = "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_09A0101E", "mraid35x" PERC32 = "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_11111028", "mraid35x" PERC32 = "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_04671028", "mraid35x" PERC32 = "PCI\VEN_101E&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_04711028", "mraid35x" PERC32 = "PCI\VEN_101E&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_04931028", "mraid35x" PERC32 = "PCI\VEN_101E&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_04751028", "mraid35x" PERC32 = "PCI\VEN_1028&DEV_000E&SUBSYS_01231028", "mraid35x" PERC32 = "PCI\VEN_1028&DEV_000F&SUBSYS_013B1028", "mraid35x" PERC32 = "PCI\VEN_1028&DEV_000F&SUBSYS_014A1028", "mraid35x" PERC32 = "PCI\VEN_1028&DEV_000F&SUBSYS_014C1028", "mraid35x" PERC32 = "PCI\VEN_1028&DEV_000F&SUBSYS_014D1028", "mraid35x" PERC32 = "PCI\VEN_101E&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_05111028", "mraid35x" PERC32 = "PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_05181028", "mraid35x" PERC32 = "PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_05201028", "mraid35x" PERC32 = "PCI\VEN_1028&DEV_0013&SUBSYS_016C1028", "mraid35x" PERC32 = "PCI\VEN_1028&DEV_0013&SUBSYS_016D1028", "mraid35x" PERC32 = "PCI\VEN_1028&DEV_0013&SUBSYS_016E1028", "mraid35x" PERC32 = "PCI\VEN_1028&DEV_0013&SUBSYS_016F1028", "mraid35x" PERC32 = "PCI\VEN_1028&DEV_0013&SUBSYS_01701028", "mraid35x" PERC32 = "PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0408&SUBSYS_00011028", "mraid35x" PERC32 = "PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0408&SUBSYS_00021028", "mraid35x" [Config.mraid35x] value=parameters\PnpInterface,5, REG_DWORD,1 put this in winnt.sif [MassStorageDrivers] "DELL PERC RAID Products for Windows 2003 (x86)" = "OEM" "IDE CD-ROM (ATAPI 1.2)/PCI IDE Controller" = "RETAIL" [OemBootFiles] TXTSETUP.Oem mraid MRAID2K.sys Mraid35x.sys nodev.inf Oemsetup.inf percraid.cat and i fire it up then i get some error d:\...something.... .c can´t remember now, press Enter to continue and it doesn´t recognize the driver and cant find any disc when i remove the storage sections from winnt.sif i also cannot even add this driver manually with F6 because on the installation it searches the driverfiles on the bloody cdrom and not on the floppy and when the storage sections are included on winnt.sif i cannot add a driver with F6 so any hints on this? how did you do it with this LSI logic mraid35x.sys driver?

just wanted to compress the applications a bit, guess have to use a cmd file then i tried also adding the driver with dosnet.inf and txtsetup.sif but the install is hanging on "registering components" then (12% to go state) i saw on my old unattended cd that you can also use the $OEM$\textmode path, do i just place the driver there? and i saw this in winnt.sif: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=30231&st=20 [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 but i have no clue if i need that

good one ! now, do you think i need still the custom txtsetup.sif ? Its in fact a Dell server and i think the controller ist not recognized by setup with its PCI Vendor ID ... i hope also the mraid35x.sys will be copied right in place with this dosnet.inf file, won´t help me if this happens after recognizing the RAID controller i saw here these lines for winnt.sif: DetachedProgram="%systemdrive%\DP.exe" Arguments="-y /q /r:n" Is it also to specify here more exe files to unpack?

i tried that before but doesnt work i think windows is prefering then its own driverfile

hi guys! i did a unattended cd with win2003 and winnt.sif file, included some drivers: [Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated=0 UnattendedInstall="Yes" AutomaticUpdates="No" [unattended] UnattendMode="FullUnattended" OemSkipEula="Yes" OemPreinstall="Yes" TargetPath="\WINDOWS" Repartition="No" UnattendSwitch="Yes" WaitForReboot="No" DriverSigningPolicy="Ignore" AutoActivate="No" KeyboardLayout="US-International" OemPnPDriversPath="install\drv\broadcom\Base_Drivers;install\drv\intel\Base_Drivers;install\drv\rac" Unfortunately the raid controller is not detected with the old driver, so i replaced the mraid35x.sy_ file in the i386 folder. I used the makecab command to create the mraid35x.sy_ file out of the new driver file mraid35.sys then i edited the txtsetup.inf file and added some pci devices: PCI\VEN_101E&DEV_9010 = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_101E&DEV_9060 = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_0438101E = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_0466101E = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_0467101E = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_0490101E = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_04671028 = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_11111028 = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_10C6103C = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_10C7103C = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_10CC103C = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_10CD103C = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_11111028 = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_11111111 = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_11121111 = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_03A2113C = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_0471101E = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_101E&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_0471101E = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_0493101E = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_101E&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_0493101E = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_0475101E = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_101E&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_0475101E = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_101E&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_04751028 = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_04711028 = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_101E&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_04711028 = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_04931028 = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_101E&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_04931028 = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_09A0101E = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_101E&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_60E7103C = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_101E&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_60E8103C = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_101E&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_60E3103C = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_1028&DEV_000E&SUBSYS_01231028 = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_1028&DEV_0013&SUBSYS_016C1028 = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_1028&DEV_0013&SUBSYS_016D1028 = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_1028&DEV_0013&SUBSYS_016E1028 = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_1028&DEV_0013&SUBSYS_016F1028 = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_1028&DEV_0013&SUBSYS_01701028 = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_05201028 = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_05181028 = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0408&SUBSYS_00011028 = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0408&SUBSYS_00021028 = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_05181028 = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_1960&SUBSYS_05201028 = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_1028&DEV_000F&SUBSYS_013B1028 = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_1028&DEV_000F&SUBSYS_014A1028 = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_1028&DEV_000F&SUBSYS_014C1028 = "mraid35x" PCI\VEN_1028&DEV_000F&SUBSYS_014D1028 = "mraid35x" when i install from this cd under vmware everything is fine, but this specific controller is not used there. Then i installed it on a real server, the controller is detected right then and everything will be installed until the last reboot. But on the start of Windows its loading only about 2-3seconds and does a reboot without asking after this. Not even the Safe Mode is working. Any idea why this happens? Or is there a different way to do it?
