Flying BBoB Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 I want to install pre-install Windwos XP with several MB.for ex: Asus P4C800 & P4S800-MXI've created an $1\drivers\002_sound dir with the drivers of the P4C800 MB in it. Then when I copy the drivers of the P4S800 MB then he asks me if i want to overwrite the files. Of course I don't want to do that because that would mean that the P4C800 will not function anymore. My question is: Can I create a subdir in the \002_sound?ex: $OEM$\$1\drivers\002_sound\p4c800\correct drivers $OEM$\$1\drivers\002_sound\p4s800\correct driversWill Windows find the correct driver?Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying BBoB Posted July 15, 2004 Author Share Posted July 15, 2004 Thanks for the reply.I've just tried it and it doesn't work. I think he's not looking for inf files in the subdirs. I think he just looks in the root (...\002_sound). I hope that someone has a solution because it's driving me greetz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vann Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 I'm pretty sure Windows Setup won't recurse through subdirectories, so you'll need to specify every directory that contains drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WwTIPPYwW Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 it won't recurse - so it needs to point to the folder where the INF is, and if there are multiple folders with INFs (different devices) you'll need to add those too.So if your sound card (for example) had a folder for the sound card's INF and the INF for another piece of the sound card is in another folder, you'd need to add both folders to get a complete install of the drivers.
