SiMoNsAyS Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 and why didn't you look up your post, where topics are pinned there is 1 that says "Guide For Compressed Drivers Unattended Install"i'm sure it'll be easier to use that method than compress 300 files to cabs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
