Missing File on Multi-Boot DVD

[rojanu]

First I thought;

I am having the same problem as mBird. I am trying to install Promise Fasttrack 378 as I can avoid inserting a floppy at the boot up, However I get a message like " missing file fasttx2k.sys". altough I have compressed the driver and it is in the i386 and the PRO1. I have cofigured dosnet.inf, txtsetup.inf and winnt.sif as it is been directed, there is no problem with that.

I am very sure because I succesfully installed unattended WinXP using a CD but when I intgrate that installation in to AIO-DVD I get the error message. So something must be wrong with the PRO1, I am  please help me.

But I realised that even when I did not integrate the drivers in to installation, e.g. loading drivers from a floppy drive, the installation cannot find the appropriate files and shows an error message like

missing file fasttx2k.sys press any key to exit

I don't know what to do after few more tries I will give and go back to standard CD I think

All you need is FASTTX2K.SY_ in your I386 folder and the following added to your TXTSETUP.SIF file:

under [sourceDisksFiles]

fasttx2k.sys = 1,,,,,,4_,4,1,,,1,4

under [HardwareIdsDatabase]

PCI\VEN_105A&DEV_3319 = "fasttx2k"
PCI\VEN_105A&DEV_3371 = "fasttx2k"
PCI\VEN_105A&DEV_3373 = "fasttx2k"
PCI\VEN_105A&DEV_3376 = "fasttx2k"
PCI\VEN_105A&DEV_6629 = "fasttx2k"

under [sCSI.Load]

fasttx2k = fasttx2k.sys,4

under [sCSI]

fasttx2k = "Promise FastTrak 37x/S150 TX4000 Series Controllers"

That should be all you need for it to be recognized during installation.

I have alrady updated the txtsetup.sif, that didn't changed anything still gives the error

You'd think this would be more straightforward & there would be a KB article or easy how-to on this but not that I've found.

I think you need to add the missing file into dosnet.inf also so that it copies during the textmode setup - That solved my issue.

Something like this :

under each of these add these lines:

[FloppyFiles.2]

d1,fasttx2k.sys

[Files]

d1,fasttx2k.sys

You would think people would read the Unattended website a bit more.
