Are you wanting to add more drivers to the MSI drivers cd? Or Do you want to add the MSi drivers to an Unattended installation cd?

Download the SATA controller drivers from Intel. Check the unattended guide here http://unattended.msfn.org/ for instructions on integrating them into you UACD.

Dell, or the chipset manufacturer. What model Dell?

how is your SATA controller configured in the BIOS? There is likely a setting for native so that it will be seen by the os natively as opposed to having to add SATA controller drivers. Or you need to add the SATA drivers to your UA cd so that they are available in text mode. TIP: A more descriptive topic title may result in more assistance.

I read the topic, and don't see the point in this 98% case insensitive. But boot to a WinPE/BarPE disk and change the folder name. As a previous post said you will need to rename to something else before renaming to the proper case.

I hate to tell you but it works fine for me the way it is written, except that %2 is passed as %2"

the User portion of the registry is store with the profile in D&S. The rest of the registry is in windows\system32\config

You should not have to copy any of the files to the system, it should be handled by the Buildmassstoragesection=yes. All yo uneed to enter is the HWID=InfPath leave the driver files with the inf and sysprep will install them.

Yup, if using Office 2k7 I thought that MS had to remove it from 2k7. but another PDFCreator, acts as a print driver so you can create a pdf from any printed doc.

check the multi boot cd/dvd for here at MSFN: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showforum=82

The short answer is no a normal unattended cd cannot be used for both unattended installs and a repair. But, you can create a multi-boot CD where on option boots using a winnt.sif and the other option does not use a SIF file. With optimization turned on the only additional size would be the files required for the multi-boot, everything else is the same.

Hey Jeremy - long time no see. If you put the drivers on the hard drive or cd then run the setdevicepath utility to add the folders to the devicepath registry key you can then have windows refresh the drivers using either devcon or the device manager.

What problem are you having with that patch? You should be able to integrate it the same as other patches.

What you see is what you get with the video drivers in a VM. It does not use your actual video card drivers but virtual drivers for the video. If you install the VMWare tools, located on the VM menu you will get the full VM driver and better resolutions, but don't expect to do everything in a VM you can do outside of it. When you added the second virtual cd-rom drive did you set the 'use physical drive' setting to your second physical drive letter? Or did you leave it set to the default 'Auto Detect'. If it's on auto detect, set it and your primary virtual cd's in the VM to the matching drive letter you wish to use. Yes this is normal if you have the VMWare tools installed. And even without them installed sometimes it will lose the mouse under certain circumstances.

Don't know if it will work or not, but what about adding the applecdeject tool on the cd and run it from detached programs so that you eject key would work. You can extract it from the driver installer from apple.

It all depends upon what hardware you want to target. The biggest problem is the HAL (hardware abstraction layer) there are 7 default HALs installed by Windows XP. ACPI ACPI Uniprocessor ACPI Multiprocessor Standard HAL MPS Uniprocessor MPS Multiprocessor Compaq something or other Using Sysprep you can change systems between Uniprocessor and multiprocessor. But you cannot change between ACPI and standard(or MPS). And without scripting you cannot automatically change from ACPI to its cousins or from Standard to its MPS cousins. There are products out there like the Universal Imaging Utility by Binary Research which will let you create a single image for all ACPI systems, and another for all non-acpi systems. check here for more information http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=78535&hl= Or google hardware independent image for more information

Post your answer file, wothout the cd-key in it and we can see if we can track it down.

did you copy the folder structure that buildoptionalcompents created to the folder that mkimg created the base pe structure in? if not do and try again.

I don't think you can from dos you can from a vbscript though. Const moveOrRenameTrue = 8 Const yesToAll = 16 Const displayProgress = 256 Const noConfirmDirCreate = 512 Set objShellApp = CreateObject("Shell.Application") set toFolder=objShellApp.NameSpace(Destination) toFolder.CopyHere Source, moveOrRenameTrue + yesToAll + displayProgress + noConfirmDirCreate

what kind of computer is it?

have you found drivers that work using F6 and a floppy? If you can't get them to work that way you are just wasting CD's trying to slipstream them into a CD. Once you find textmode drivers that work with F6 and a cd without other drivers then the problem becomes properly integrating them. But you have to have the right driver first.

A definition of what you are considering a "distribution server" would be helpful. Is this just a file server, or as p4antb0y said a RIS server, or something else?

the equation posted is not possible. how about the constant being 62 instead of 1562? But of course the answer to everything is 42.

check your answer file and be sure you have oempreinstall=yes under the [unattended] section.

do a search and replace, depends upon how your list is formatted and what is in the list as to what to search for. Use the more option on the search and you can search for and replace carriage returns.
