Unattend: Mass storage controller driver not working HELP!

**b0jengles** · July 18, 2008

I have been trying and failing to get this scripted install to work with a new Precision t3400 that has a DELL SAS 6/it Integrated controller card with a SAS 15k drive on it. Every time I try and add the drivers to the install it comes back with the following error:

The Entry

"Dell SAS 6/ir Integrated"

in The [sCSI] section of the INF file txtsetup.oem

Setup cannot continue.

I have tried many different ways to make this work. I hope it is something stupid and simple that I am missing but any help would be greatly appreciated!

The current Configuration I have is the following

Using BDD 2007

Used this link to try something different http://www.deployvista.com/Blog/tabid/70/E...18/Default.aspx

I have tried with the following file locations of the drivers:

%distributionshare%\Operating Systems\WXPSP2\I386\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\SAS6

%distributionshare%\Operating Systems\WXPSP2\I386\$OEM$\TEXTMODE

Also tried

%distributionshare%\Control\XP32WSAS\$OEM$\$1\DRIVERS\SAS6

%distributionshare%\Operating Systems\WP32WSAS\$OEM$\TEXTMODE

Here is my unattendfile: I have changed the oempnpdriverpath file location to the corresponding location. I have also deleted the parts that are not needed.

The Entry

Setup cannot continue.

Setting is missing at txtsetup.oem [sCSI] section.

File symmpi.inf is not used that early.

So I have tried so many different ways from different sites I may need a little clarification.

Do I need to include a Cab file(created from the symmpi.sys file) in the windows source / i386 folder? Also do I need to include the driver info in the TXTSETUP.SIF file in the i386 folder? Or do I just create a folder structure of "Windows Source / I386 /$OEM/ TEXTMODE/"MY Driver Files""

and "Windows Source / I386 /$OEM/$1/DRIVERS/SAS6/ "MY Driver Files""

Then edit the unattend.txt with your corresponding edits?

**cdob** · July 21, 2008

So I have tried so many different ways from different sites I may need a little clarification.

Actually there are different approaches and different solutions.

How do you like to install windows? Local installation from CD or RIS installation are different cases.

Do I need to include a Cab file(created from the symmpi.sys file) in the windows source / i386 folder?

No, you don't have to include a cab file to I386\.

Also do I need to include the driver info in the TXTSETUP.SIF file in the i386 folder?

No, don't edit txtsetup.sif.

Editing txtsetup.sif is another approach.

That's a fine solution too.

Or do I just create a folder structure of "Windows Source / I386 /$OEM/ TEXTMODE/"MY Driver Files""
and "Windows Source / I386 /$OEM/$1/DRIVERS/SAS6/ "MY Driver Files""
Then edit the unattend.txt with your corresponding edits?

Well mentioned example use a strange solution.

[MassStorageDrivers] [OEMBootFiles] sould copy file already.

No need to use OemPnPDriversPath. However example should work too.

Some other examples:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/288344/

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816299/

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289707/

This copy files twice:

\I386\$OEM$

\I386\$OEM$\TEXTMODE

This dosn't match CD installation.

Find a solution matching your windows installation method.

Fixed the issue.

Seems as though yea I was using more then one way of doing it and it was having conflicts.

Thanks for all the help
