Unattended Problem after first install phase

[wurzl100]

Hi friends,

I am very confused because of a unattended installation problem I cant solve by my own.

My Infrastructure:

I use an "Eisfair" Server http://www.eisfair.org/ which is configured as a RIS Server (means Samba, TFTP, DHCP...)

My Problem is to install a Computer with a VIA RAID Controller (the driver file is called viamraid.sys)

I have a WINXP_SP2 Image, that I extracted to my harddisk. Then I was using NLite to integrate the RAID driver files and was burning an image.

With help of this image, made by NLite it was possible to install this computer without any Problems via unattended CD.

So now, sure that is has to work I extracted the Windows Image again and used NLite again only to integrate the RAID Driver files. Additionally I was proceeding with this Microsoft Artice Microsoft Guideand after this modifications I was transfering the modificated i386 folder onto my servers share.

The computer was booting well (without any bluescreen I got before I was including the RAID drivers) and it transfered the install files to the Harddisk.

When it finished the Problem began.

Its booting and runs chdisk. When checkdisk is ready it says "I have to repair some problems at the filesystem" and the computer is rebooting.

This Problem I have NOT when I use the unattended CD although there should be no problem between both i386 folders (that one on CD oder that one on my Server share).

When it starts again checkdisk is running again and now there are no Problems with the file system. But when Windows starts to make the filellist to transfer there are a lot of messages like:

"Could not transfer file xyz" Press Enter to Repeat, ESC to jump over this file oder F3 to stop the instalation process" and it always begins with

"The file cbidf2k.sys cant be transfered" Press......

My Board is an ASUS "K8V-X SE"

Everything I tried was not successfully. HERE I HAVE TO SAY THAT MY HARDDISK IS OK...NO PROBLEM TO INSTALL WINDOWS VIA A UNATTENDED CD (I only say this to prevent users to think the chdisk problem has something to do with a defective harddrive.)

Here is my unattend.txt file (only the relevant part)

;SetupMgrTag
[Data]
	AutoPartition=1
	MsDosInitiated="0"
	UnattendedInstall="Yes"

	viamraid.inf
	viamraid.cat

Here is my txtsetup.oem file

#

d1 = "VIA RAID Combo Driver Diskette", \viamraid.sys, \

[Defaults]

scsi = VIARAID_MULTIPLE_XP

[scsi]
VIARAID_MULTIPLE_XP = "VIA RAID Controller(Windows XP)"


[Files.scsi.VIARAID_MULTIPLE_XP]
driver = d1, viamraid.sys, VIAMRAID_NT5
inf = d1, viamraid.inf
## Cat file directive. It should be marked with non-digital signed driver
catalog = d1, viamraid.cat


[HardwareIds.scsi.VIARAID_MULTIPLE_XP]
id = "PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3249","viamraid"
id = "PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3149","viamraid"
id = "PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3164","viamraid"



[Config.VIAMRAID_NT5]
value = Parameters\PnpInterface, 5, REG_DWORD, 1

This is my file structure:

i386
--->$OEM$
----------->Textmode
----------------------->TXTSETUP.OEM
----------------------->viamraid.cat
----------------------->viamraid.sys
----------------------->viamraid.inf

This is my txtsetup.sif file (only the relevant parts)

[SCSI]
viamraid = "VIA RAID Controller(Windows XP)"

I hope somebody can help me !!

Thanks a lot

Best regards

EDIT 1:

I made a test especially regarding the first file it cant find called cbidf2k.sys

First I letted the computer start via PXE and Windows copied the the files to the harddisk. Then the computer was rebooting. Now I startet with a DOS Bootdisk and was looking to the drive C: There was now a folder called $WIN_NT$.~BT.

I changed into this folder and there was the file CBIDF2K.SY_

Now I startet the Computer by Harddisk and Checkdisk was saying again that there are problems which are repaired now. Windows rebootet again and I startet again with the DOS Disk. The file CBIDF2K.SY_ was still existing, but when I was booting again by harddisk it says again "The file bcidf2k.sys couldnt be transfered".

So I think It has really something to do with the RAID Driver after the first reboot.

Maybe somebody can help me.
