anyone found the way to do this? thanks, SK

Here you go. I had to zip it up. (website said it was too big) There are quotes before and after the driver paths... winnt.zip

When I do that, I get this error message: "Line 47 of the INF file tmp/303030564E4A47313439202020202020.sif is invalid. Setup cannot continue." Line 47 matches up to the "OemPnPDriversPath" line in the sif file. I don't think it likes the quotes.

Thanks for the tip. I did change the *.sif file and took out that final ";". I am still having this problem though. Does anyone have any other ideas? Thanks, Skeeter

Hello all, I have been working on this for some time now and am still having trouble with a particular point. During a RIS install of Server 2003 to a SAS/SATA HAB, I get through the textmode and the GUI mode of setup, but when the final reboot comes, it just reboots constantly. I never get to the destop. If anyone could help me with this, that would be great! I have been smashing my head against the wall about this thing. So here is my directory structure: Where my driver files are: RemoteInstall\Setup\English\Images\Server2003EESP1\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\lsimpt RemoteInstall\Setup\English\Images\Server2003EESP1\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\lsimpt\i386 I also copied the *.sys and *.inf files to this location: RemoteInstall\Setup\English\Images\Server2003EESP1\i386\ Here is my *.sif file from the following directory: RemoteInstall\Setup\English\Images\Server2003EESP1\i386\templates\ ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=1 MsDosInitiated="1" UnattendedInstall="Yes" floppyless="1" OriSrc="\\%SERVERNAME%\RemInst\%INSTALLPATH%" OriTyp="4" LocalSourceOnCD=1 AutomaticUpdates=1 [SetupData] OsLoadOptions="/noguiboot /fastdetect" SetupSourceDevice="\Device\LanmanRedirector\%SERVERNAME%\RemInst\%INSTALLPATH%" [OEMBootFiles] lsi_sas.tag txtsetup.oem lsi_sas.inf lsi_sas.pdb lsi_sas.sys s2k332.cat [MassStorageDrivers] LSI_SAS_32 = "LSI Logic Fusion-MPT SAS Driver (Server 2003 32-bit)",lsi_sas [Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS FileSystem=LeaveAlone NtUpgrade=No OverwriteOemFilesOnUpgrade=No DisableVirtualOemDevices=Yes DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS FileSystem=LeaveAlone NtUpgrade=No UnattendSwitch=Yes WaitForReboot=Yes UpdateInstalledDrivers=Yes Hibernation=Yes OemPnPDriversPath=Drivers\nic\01;Drivers\nic\02;Drivers\nic\03;Drivers\nic;Drivers\nic\NWSERVER;Drivers\nic\WFW311; Drivers\lsimpt; Drivers\lsimpt\i386; Drivers\Lan; ...

No suggestions? Thanks, Skeeter

I am doing a RIS install across the network of Server 2003. The install goes fine, but after the final reboot, I see the "Windows Server 2003" screen for about a second, but then it blue-screens. I have tried to go into Safe Mode, but it still does the same thing. How could I make the system not reboot after a BSOD? This would have to be done during setup, but I am unaware of how to do it. Thanks for your help, Skeeter6755
