[FAQ | F6 mass storage drivers from floppy AND unattended install?]

Ok !

If I put the XCOPY in useraccounts.cmd it works #1 !

All the files was copied on the C: and in the first logon all the soft was installed !

Thanks to everybody for their help

If someone knows a way to add it to SCVPACK.INF let me know but if there is no solution, I'll stay with useraccounts.cmd

Thx again

Hehe that was a great idea

I'll explain you what I did !

I have some updates that I install in SVCPACK.INF

[setupHotfixesToRun]

2.exe /Q /O /N /Z

3.exe /Q /O /N /Z

4.exe /Q /O /N /Z

5.exe /Q /O /N /Z

6.exe /Q /O /N /Z

7.exe /Q /O /N /Z

8.exe /Q /O /N /Z

9.exe /Q /O /N /Z

So I made a file named COPYSOFT.CMD and I putted an XCOPY in it to copy the file I want on C:

I tested the .CMD and it works fine in windows.

So I edited my SVCPACK.INF and now it looks like this

SetupHotfixesToRun]

COPYSOFT.CMD

2.exe /Q /O /N /Z

3.exe /Q /O /N /Z

4.exe /Q /O /N /Z

5.exe /Q /O /N /Z

6.exe /Q /O /N /Z

7.exe /Q /O /N /Z

8.exe /Q /O /N /Z

9.exe /Q /O /N /Z

Problem is I tried to reinstall windows and it's like it didn't worked, no file was copied on my C:

Is SVCPACK.INF run .CMD or only .EXE ?

Do I need to put it in another part of the file ?

I'm trying something else right now, I put the XCOPY in the useraccounts.cmd file and this one I'm sure it's working at the end of installation of XP I see the dos window executing the commands in it

Well if there is a way to makes CMD works in SVCPACK.INF let me know

Thank for your idea it's a good one

[Install apps from CD-ROM]

I do use the Batch File method

But I think it will works since it's in a batch file, I only needed how to know what was the CD-ROM letter. With this code I think it will work in the Batch File method

If there is something better for batch file let me know I'm going to test that tommorow

Thx for the post man I appreciate !

[Install apps from CD-ROM]

Hi,

I was unsing the OEMPREINSTALL = YES before but since I do want to read RAID drivers on floppy I can't use that command anymore

So now it doesn't copy the OEM folder into my systemdrive so I can't install the software I putted on my unnantended CD

So, I read there is some way to install apps DIRECTLY from the CD-ROM

I looked on the forum and can't find a thread about it

Can someone tell me how to do it or redirect me to the a thread that explain this

Thank you

I can't do that cause I format a lot of PCs, and need different RAID drivers

I want to use a Floppy to get the drivers

So there is no solution to use a floppy and use the OEM folder ?

It sounds impossible to me :/

Let me know if you know another solution

Thank you

[FAQ | F6 mass storage drivers from floppy AND unattended install?]

I had the same problem

But me I do need to copy the OEM folder to my HDD cause I do auto install software at the end when XP boot.

Is there a solution then ?

Thank you

[XP unnatended RAID problem]

Ok, I looked for the BTS drivers ..

But there is no way to make it works without adding any drivers ?

I'm installing it from a single windows CD (Only XP on it) and I start the installation booting from the CD-ROM.

Thank you.

[XP unnatended RAID problem]

Hi all, thx for reading and I wish someone will know what's going on here

I made an unnatended CDs of XP like 3 months ago

It's working great, I added a lot of options to it and everything is working fine except this

I use this CD to install on a lot of PCs, I format PCs a lot and I needed something to accelerate the processus.

Now the problem is that new motherboard with SATA only have RAID controller so we need to hit F6 and put a floppy.

Since I do that on a lot of different PCs I don't want to put the drivers on the CDs cause I never use the same driver so I use the floppy.

Problem is that when I use my Unnatended Cds, I hit F6, it ask me the drivers, I put the floppy, choose the right driver ... it continues to the disk partition, I partition the disk and then right before copying the files to the HD, they are asking me the RAID driver again, I put back the floppy and he is not able to find the drivers ...

I tried with a normal CD of XP (not unnatended) it works fine ...

I said to myself prolly a weird bug .. but some day later tried on another PC who needs RAID DRIVER and same problem

I really don't know what is wrong in my setup it's like it doesn't keep the RAID driver

Anyone had that problem ? .. it's really anoying cause 75% of the time now I need to put RAID DRIVERS ...

Thank you for your help and if you need more infos of what I putted in my setup, ask me
