webmedic Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 The short answer is the following:1) Put all your drivers folders in a directory named DP2) Compress the directory with 7zip (Create SFX Archive)3) Put the compressed file in $OEM$\$\4) Add this to your winnt.sif[Unattended]OemPnPDriversPath="DP\L\3C\1;Etc...[GuiUnattended] DetachedProgram="%systemdrive%\DP.exe" Arguments="-y /q /r:n"and how would you do it without winnt.sif? I know I can easily do this from cmdlines.txt but I think that is to late and all the hardware detection would be done. Correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incroyable HULK Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Yes, you are right. The drivers get decompressed at the beginning of the GUI installation part, just before the Hardware detection process starts at T-39. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drivers get decompressed at the beginning of the GUI installation part, just before the Hardware detection process starts at T-39.Yes I have built quite a few of those kinds of cd's but I'm trying to stay away from the unatended method now as it is impossible to do a restore on a system. which is kind of important.
