I'd love to be able to copy Greenmachine's guide to slipstreaming my VIA SATA drivers into my XP install as it refuses to install any unattended install using F6 (the drivers do however work with F6 and an attended installation).

I know that I need to put this in my Unattend.sif, which should be in my XPCD I387 folder:

[SourceDisksFiles]
viasraid.sys = 1,,,,,,4_,4,1,,,1,4

[HardwareIdsDatabase]
PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3149 = "viasraid"

[SCSI.load]
viasraid = viasraid.sys,4

[SCSI]
viasraid = "VIA Serial ATA RAID Controller"

I also have the drivers in my $OEM$\$1\drivers\03_SATA. The three files are from the 310E VIA drivers for the VT8237/6420 and are VIAMRAID.SYS/INF/CAT. There is a corresponding line in my Winnt.sif

The problem is that I don't have an Unattend.sif file in my I387 folder. What gives?

Double post VVV

I've found a copy of one on an old Dell CD It was pre-SP1 and the new install is SP2 - does that matter?

Does it need to be as bloated as it is, or is there a whole bunch of stuff from the Dell install? Also, there are headings for [sourceDisksFiles], [HardwareIdsDatabase], [sCSI.load] and [sCSI] already - does it matter if I stick new ones at the end, or should I replace the existing ones?

Could I not just use this?

[SourceDisksFiles]
viasraid.sys = 1,,,,,,4_,4,1,,,1,4

[HardwareIdsDatabase]
PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3149 = "viasraid"

[SCSI.load]
viasraid = viasraid.sys,4

[SCSI]
viasraid = "VIA Serial ATA RAID Controller"

Nevermind - I was being thick.
