[What we have learnt so far]

just on another note, i found even though i had added them to be included it didnt integrate 4 critical updates -

WindowsMedia9-KB819639-x86-ENU - obveously because media player 9 aint installed at this point

WindowsXP-KB821557-x86-ENU

WindowsXP-KB329441-x86-ENU

WindowsXP-KB824105-x86-ENU

now this could just have been me, let me know how u get on.

[What we have learnt so far]

put this post in the history books people i got somet right lol

[What we have learnt so far]

is he going to update them again soon, as i used the script to incorporate the critical updates and it worked like a gem, it does sit at 13 mins to go for a while longer than the norm but does work

[OemPnPDriversPath help?]

SOOPAFLY - thanx for the input ill take a peek

AaronXP -

For the Catalysts, I wasn't aware there was "Drivers" directory seperating the main extracted files and the 2KXP_INF folder. But then I'm only looking at the extracted 3.6 drivers, 3.7's directory structure might be different, which I haven't checked yet.

i dl the full package in one hit 22meg i think and that puts the ati dirvers in a folder inside the directory if that helps

[OemPnPDriversPath help?]

erm it came off this site somewhere lol, i dont remeber exactly where, ill change it to the one u sugested, as to the control panel i was just testing to see if it would work in any way as it doesnt seem to install any of the drivers out of there any ideas why?

[OemPnPDriversPath help?]

ok i want the install to auto pick up the catalyst drivers 3.7 and control panel and install them, ive added the paths to the folder where the inf files are etc but it just wont install em, any help please.

Also i tried to get it to install the via hyperions drivers, i added loads of paths to various folders but no joy there either.

I have included my winnt.sif info below any help would be greatfully recieved
