Can't install any driver with unattended install..

[ejv]

I'm trying to make an unattended CD to use at work.

Big problem is that none of the drivers I included on my test-system work:

This is in my winnt.sif dir: OemPnPDriversPath="OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\ATI;Drivers\NVIDIA;Drivers\CMEDIA;Drivers\NIC;Drivers\SATA;Drivers\nForce\AudioDrv;Drivers\nForce\AudioUtl;Drivers\nForce\Ethernet;Drivers\nForce\GART;Drivers\nForce\MemCtl;Drivers\nForce\IDE;Drivers\nForce\SMBus"

From this line only the NIC and CMEDIA dir must work, because my test-system mb is an Epox 4PCA3+ w/ Intel i875P chipset.

My NIC dir has 3 files: B57XP32.SYS B57XP32.INF B57XP32.CAT

The CMEDIA dir has a lot of files.

Both directories are in $OEM$\$1\Drivers

Both drivers are working fine when installed after the installattion is finished.

What the hell am I doing wrong???

Second small question:

I need the right Intel INF driver, the one I downloaded@Intel has no .inf files after extraction and thus can't be installed

Why do you have nForce drivers on there if you have an 875P board? Beyond that, there's a thread about how to integrate the Intel INF files. Also, please post the rest of your winnt.sif so we can see the rest of how you have things set up.

As I said, I also use it to test with other systems(so also Nforce), I suppose it's not important.

U can (must) correct me if i'm wrong!!

OemPreinstall=No or Yes

This option is default to No but if you are using the $OEM$ Distribution folders then it needs to be set to Yes,

so that Setup regards this installation as a distribution and copies these files over to the system drive.

This occurs at the end of Text-mode Setup.

If i'm correct: Enjoy it.

[ejv]

Gonna try it, must be that!

[BAM]

When i looked over ure sif file that's the only thing i could came up with!

Implement yours like this:

[unattended]UnattendMode=FullUnattendedOemSkipEula=YesOemPreinstall=YesTargetPath=\WINDOWSDriverSigningPolicy=Ignore OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\ATI;Drivers\NVIDIA;Drivers\CMEDIA;Drivers\NIC;Drivers\SATA;Drivers\nForce\AudioDrv;Drivers\nForce\AudioUtl;Drivers\nForce\Ethernet;Drivers\nForce\GART;Drivers\nForce\MemCtl;Drivers\nForce\IDE;Drivers\nForce\SMBus"

By the way, i didn't use the " at the begin and end, but it worked allright for me!

Give it a go.

ps. what town do u live ??
