Driver Integration

[Dutch]

Hello,

By using nLite I have integrated XP Pro SP3 and Post SP3 Updates from the RyanVM site.....for a newby.....sofar so good, I think.

It is not my intent to create a full fledged "unattended" installation disk at this time.

Since I have a SATA HDD and want to avoid the infamous "hit F6 key" issue, I understand that to do so the appropriate drivers need to be integrated in the OS boot disk.

For my PC I have a floppy (G72-VASA 052 VIA SATA RAID Drivers) as follows:

folder:VIA and inside this:

folder:RAID

folder:PIDE

file:TXTSETUP.OEM

When in nLite, in the integrate driver section, what folder or file or files inside folders should I point nLite to for the driver(s) integration process?

One more question. I read somewhere that drivers should be the very last thing to be integrated. Is that correct?

Look forward to your response(s) and thank you in advance for the assistance.

Have you tried looking in the nLite section? This is also where your other (and this) topic should be (not in the Unattended section) as both topics refer to using nLite.

I will assume that the folders refer to the SATA and PATA respectively. Within those should be some INF (suffixed) files. These are the ones.

Here is a fine example of what I stated. Please read the first post (pretty clear).

Dutch, open Device Manager and choose your SATA/RAID/SCSI controller; open it and click Details. From the drop-down menu choose Hardware IDs and send us the lines you see. It should be something like

%PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3349.DeviceDesc% = viamraid , PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3349&CC_0104

As to integration, you understood correctly; if you integrate drivers in nLite, add them as PnP; as to the SATA driver, choose it as an individual driver and integrate it in TXT mode (if it has an option for x86 and x64, choose the appropriate) as the last in the line of drivers.
