I just noticed that the video drivers for my nVIDIA based video card didn't install properly. Here is a section of my winnt.sif file (which up until now has worked properly).

[Unattended]
   UnattendMode=FullUnattended
   OemSkipEula=Yes
   OemPreinstall=Yes
   TargetPath=\WINDOWS
   UnattendSwitch="no"
   DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
   OemPnPDriversPath="\install\Audio\Drivers\WIN2K_XP;\install\video"

My audio drivers install without any problems. I also tried installing the video drivers with the applications.cmd file and I got an error stating that the drivers I wanted to install were older than what was currently installed (56.72 drivers were released April 1st).

Wouldn't the OemPnPDriversPath force XP to use these drivers?

The only thing else that I can think of that has recently changed about my unattended process is the way that I make the .iso file. I used to use winISO but since my DVD is over 3GB, it won't create the .iso properly (it always gives me an error). I am now using the Microsoft's CD Image tool from the official MSFN's Unattended XP CD guide. One thing I did notice about this tool was that it sets the date of all of the files to 12/31/2002. Could this be the problem.

Is there another way to creat a a bootable ISO? I use Nero 6.3.1.15 to burn my DVDs.

Another thing I will say is that with the RC1 version of SP2 my video drivers installed properly and I believe I used the Microsoft CD Image tool to create my ISO. I guess that it is possible that SP2 2142 includes and updated nv4_disp.ini file. Would replacing the nv4_disp.in_ file in the i386 directory with the one from nVIDIA fix this problem? Would I need to use the PE utility and then makecab?

Any ideas are greatly appreciated!
