Copy error when adding drivers using F6.

[Iceman1]

Hello,

I get an "Set up cannot copy the file: iaStor.sys" error when trying to install third party drivers using F6 during an n-lite XPPro SP3 installation. Is it possible to load drivers this way or does n-lite only allow slipstreamed drivers during the install?

The issue here is we have many different types of hardware and it would be impossible to find and then include all the drivers in the sliptreamed disk.

Thanks for your help.

If you have used the unattended install option of nLite, you usually have to integrate the needed textmode driver and should not load them via F6/floppy.

This is not an nLite issue. If the OS Setup detects a file named WINNT.SIF (it contains the informations regarding the unattended install), it expects all needed textmode drivers within the OS media.

The issue here is we have many different types of hardware and it would be impossible to find and then include all the drivers in the sliptreamed disk.

The driverpacks method (look >here<) would be the better option than trying to integrate all possible textmode drivers into the OS CD by using a tool like nLite. Furthermore the use of nLite is only allowed for private and not for business purposes.
