Need Some Help

[gunsmokingman]

What i need help with is this.

The Problem

I have on this computer a onbourd sound card and a pci sound card.

I have built a nice Unnattend Install CD it installs my pci card.

Here the problem say I have to remove the pci and have to use,

the onboard sound card. I now cannot use my Unnattend Cd becasue

the sound drivers in there are different. I know I could reburn a new CD,

with the onboard sound card but, I thought that would it be possible to move the sounddriver setup from the default spot in the unnattend. To the 13 minute spot and say have a batch file made up to give me a choice of my Onboard or my Pci card. This is the spot just before any updates go in, if this is correct than I get a chance to reboot and at first desktop I would have my sound, is that correct.

The Hard Part For Me

Is that I would have very limited skills at making Bat files,

This one would require 3 choices

1\Onboard install

2\Pci Install

3\Just continue

I can only do a yes or know for each one of these, I cannot make the needed menu tried, also a count down choice with say a 30 to 45 second count than it go to the defualt Unattend that there.

Here The Reason

As I sit here that has happen I had to to pull out my Pci card, I am now using the Onboard one. I can not use the CD I made because, I have wrong sound driver being Installed. So before I burn another disk for my self I was wondering if this was possible. To have a unnattend install that covers what just has happen.

I also dont want to take a chance of installing the wrong sound drivers

EG I grab the cd with say the Onboard Sound Driver but go and Install with a pci

in it instead.

So if any one could help thanks

12. Very often we see meaningless subjects in topic title. They give no clue of what the posts are all about. For example:

- Oh no!

- Help

- I'm mad

- Please help

- Question

- I need your help

- Hmmmm ....

This should be avoided. Users should enter something more specific in topic title so that it is easier for others to help.

why would u have 2 cards on 1 PC? why not just disable Onboard and use PCI?

second, after thats done, u can use the following link, and windows will search for the best driver auto

http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/drivers.htm

good luck

Thanks I will use different tiltes names.

Now the point of my post is this

I want to know if it possible to have that choice of selecting my drivers.

The unattend that i have done would not work on my computer because I had a hard ware change EG I had to take out my pci card, so that no longer exist but the cd has the drivers for it, with this location OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\002_graphics;Drivers\004_sound" I am on the onboard one right now.

That will set up my pci card, but because I had to remove the card and use the Onboard instead, than what on the cd, I cant use it because the sound drivers are wrong.

I dont want to burn 2 different CDs just because the drivers change. I thought it was possible to change the driver install pont to this part of the set up, Cmdlines.txt

Just before this point in it

[COMMANDS]

" I do not have enough skills to build the selection menu needed here so I can make sure I am installing either my Onboard Or Pci Card. "

"RunOnceEx.cmd"

"REGEDIT /S Zap.reg"

What I wanted to know is if this is possible

I dont want to use 2 sound card.

I want to make sure that I will install the proper sound driver

That the point of the unnattend and since i have 2 cards on my computer I want to make sure that I can install either of them without using different CDs. Or damaging my computer.

Thanks

hmm why don't u install both of the drivers?

after all u'll only need to configure your bios right?

if 1 of the card is disabled then windows will not detect it and will not install the driver for it

same goes for the other one

so u can really put both of the drivers..

[[BM]Crusher]

exactly....

put both the drivers in your $OEM$\$1\Drivers path and set it up in winnt.sif to look at both sound driver directories ("Drivers\Onboard;Drivers\PCISound" as example)

windows will only install the hardware that it detects... if you disable your onboard sound and leave the PCI sound card in there, it will only install that one... if you take the PCI sound card out and turn on the onboard sound, it will install that driver instead...

extract the ZIP or EXE install for your drivers, so you have a directory with the INF files and a bunch of other stuff... then put that directory in $OEM$\$1\Drivers and do the winnt.sif thing

I have about 10 different sound drivers on my cd (via audio, realtek, cmedia, sblive, audigy, audigy2, muse xl, game theatre xp, vibra128, ess solo, avance logic)
