janzo Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I am in the process of building a unattended install and need to have as many drivers as possible included in the load. I have been trying to find the drivers listed in the xpcreate cab file. Does anyone one have a complete set of all the drivers that the cab file references that I can get. It would save me a great deal of time which I currentlly have very little of.Thanks Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilou_Gateux Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 PCI Vendor and Device ListsExtract all OEM files from the cab archivefor each file, search in the database:A320RAID.OEM[SCSI]A320RAID = "XPCREATE A320RAID SATA/RAID Driver." [SourceDisksFiles]A320RAID.SYS = 1,,,,,,4_,4,1,,,1,4 [SCSI.load]A320RAID = A320RAID.SYS,4 [HardwareIdsDatabase]PCI\VEN_9005&DEV_00c4 = "A320RAID" PCI\VEN_9005&DEV_8011 = "A320RAID"retrieve the infos:VEN_9005 = AdaptecDEV_8011 = Ultra320 SCSI Controllerand search in the existing topics:Updated SATA Driver List Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMachine Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Welcome, janzo, to MSFN!I do not have the "complete set" of those drivers: you may want to use one of the Driver Packs in the Device Drivers Forum. I do not, however, recommend addin as many drivers as you can get your hands on, as there can be conflicts, especially where some different drivers use the same PCI PnP ID.Good Luck!

mdes Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 I have a "Silicon Image SiI 3112 SATALink Controller":* Should I put the drivers in DRIVERDIR and modify the OEMPnPDriversPath setting in WINNT.SIF with DOPATH=NO (YES for XP to modify itself the OEMPnPDriversPath setting in WINNT.SIF)DOSATA=NODRIVERDIR=$OEM$\$1\DRIVERS* Or should I not put the drivers in DRIVERDIR andDOPATH=NODOSATA=YESDRIVERDIR=$OEM$\$1\DRIVERSXPCREATE supports this controller, so, I'm not sure that I have to put the drivers in DRIVERDIR I suppose that:* DOPATH is only used when I give the drivers and want XPCREATE to modify my WINNY.SIF, and* DRIVERDIR is only used when I give my drivers.* DOSATA is only used when XPCREATE use its own drivers (XPCREATE.CAB)Is that correct?

BeenThereB4 Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 You must add the actual drivers yourself. I use FilesCD\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\SI3112 and place the actual drivers there. Modify winnt.sif with: [Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemPreinstall=No TargetPath=\WINDOWS OemSkipEula=Yes Hibernate=0 UnattendSwitch="Yes" OEMPnPDriversPath="Drivers\si3112"For some reason, I'm able to integrate drivers like this but you should set OemPreinstall=YesHere is what I have in xpcreate.ini:DOPATH=NODOSATA=YESDOSVCPACK=YESDRIVERDIR=$OEM$\$1\DRIVERSI know this works because I just used it within a few days.

GreenMachine Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 @mdes:Number Two is the correct answer* Or should I not put the drivers in DRIVERDIR andDOPATH=NODOSATA=YESDRIVERDIR=$OEM$\$1\DRIVERSXPCREATE does not supply the drivers, just the information needed to integrate the drivers, based on the drivers found in DRIVERSDIR.

GreenMachine Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 You beat me to it!Or, I suppose, you could have set DOPATH=YES, and let XPCREATE modify WINNT.SIF. Either way ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
