[Anon5710]

Before you start flaming my a** off... Yes ive used the search function.. (wich gives you way to much results if you ask me )

Okey ive made my dvd and tested it with virtual pc, everything works but one thing.. The device drivers.. Ive tried alot but it will not work.

Here are the setup files :

Winnt.sif

    %systemdrive%\install\cleanup.cmd    

My maps are located like this :

$OEM$ --> $1 --> drivers --->CPU, LAN, video, sata, sound

--> install ----> apllications -----> all the install files / folders

----> Files:[applications.cmd, stuff.cmd, cleanup.cmd, regtweaks.reg

Hope you gys can find anything

Heh, no one's gonna flame here.

Welcome to MSFN forums!

You have tested your unattended setup only in VirtualPC ?

So there's the reason why you aren't seeing your drivers work! Looking at the description you gave, everything seems alright. One thing you might not have known, is that VirtualPC has its own hardware (it won't act like your *REAL* hardware - graphics/sound/etc. - it has its own *VIRTUAL* hardware).

So just try it on your actual PC, and it will all work fine. Do post back on whether its all working perfectly or if there's anymore bugs.

no-way.... Ive fricken spend atleast 10 hours testing every option

K, ill go burn the iso now

[Anon5710]

Yup My drivers are working soomthly

If i only know this sooner.

Tho i still got some bugs :

Can't copy viarais.sys

Obvious question: Where do i copy this file to ? (ill bet it is i386 )

And how can i get rid of having to enter my usersname, setting if i wnat or firewall or not... registring etc.... (you know those screens @ boot)

third thing. IS there something under windows as under GEntoo like this :

rc-update add numlock boot

[prathapml]

IS there something under windows as under GEntoo like this :

rc-update add numlock boot

Do you mean enable num-lock at boot?

That's done thru the system registry. (search for registry tweaks)

Can't copy viarais.sys

Obvious question: Where do i copy this file to ? (ill bet it is i386 )

Sorry, need more details to help with that. Most probably that file is either deleted or corrupted.

And how can i get rid of having to enter my usersname, setting if i wnat or firewall or not... registring etc.... (you know those screens @ boot)

All those are screens that you see at first-boot - OOBE is the one that throws up these. You can either configure it from winnt.sif, or from oobeinfo.ini. Try searching around in the forum, for details on those (use the forum's search, at top-left, not the google search) - and if at first you don't get the answers, hang around the forum for a few days and you'd get it all right.

Good luck with your unattended!

Can't copy viaraid.sysObvious question: Where do i copy this file to ? (ill bet it is i386 )Sorry, need more details to help with that. Most probably that file is either deleted or corrupted.

viarais.sys must be viaraid.sys

This file is the file i have to use for my sata disk (Also hitting to F6 key like a maniac )

This is the file that WinXP setup copies when it is still in the blue setup

Okay, that goes into the realm of SATA and RAID drivers...

Take a look at this section of the forum - Device Drivers

There you find the drivers, methods, instructions, etc. Since your question is specific to SATA, you'd rather post in that section for answers.

(they'd know better about it, plus I hate VIA chips)

I don't like via aswell, but when i bought my A64 -3500 there was no other mobo than the Asus A8V Deluxe with the Via chipset :/

BUT within a month or 2 this board goes by by, and Nforce4 comes in
