If any one here knows what exactly I need to do to add my RAID controler drivers to the unattended install it would be extremely appreciated. In a non oem preinstall I have the option to press f6 and then specify my drivers, the drwback is that I can not use the $oem$ folder to copy files, drivers, and applications to thier desired locations. I have (what I feel) is a beautifull unattended install custom built for my system. However, my problem is that my installation goes perfectly on my standard ATA drive (not what I want) but I can not specify the drivers I need for my Serial ATA raid controller until after the installation is over, at which point I have the system on the wrong drive. if I change the answerfile to reflect that it is not an oem preinstall the $oem$ folder does not copy over but I can then specify my drivers at the begining of the install and the system is then where I want it. It is kind of a catch 22 for me,... I can have this but not that, or I can have that but not this.. I want both. I have been trying to integrate my raid drivers into the core installation files, and so far I keep coming up onto a road block. I have the files added to the i386 directory, I specified them in txtsetup.inf, added them to layout.inf, and dosnet.inf. I so far can get the install up to where it is building its list from layout.inf and then when it gets to my files it says it can not find them. If anyone can help me here it would really mean a lot to me. the files are viasraid.inf (1554), viasraid.cat (7609), and viasraid.sys (77312) I am really not sure that I have them added to any of the right places in the setup files. If there is a step by step method to add these files, or a way that someone may know of please share. Thanks.
