janc Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 I have created an $OEM$ directory under FILESCD. Inside $OEM$ I have the directories $1 and $$. It is my understanding that anything inside the $1 directory will get copied to the root of the installation drive during installation and that anything inside the $$ directory gets copied to the Windows folder.I have created the structure and added the files I want included. When I create the cd the $OEM$ directory is copied to the cd. But when I perform an installation the files inside the $OEM$ directory do not get copied to the hard drive.What am I doing wrong?

mdes Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 The $OEM$ folder is NOT created in the new partition, only "Program Files" & "Windows". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janc Posted February 8, 2005 Author Share Posted February 8, 2005 Thanks for the reply. I realized after your post that I didn't phrase the question accurately. What I meant is that the files within $OEM$ are not being copied. For instance there is a $OEM$\$1\drivers directory. After installation there should be a C:\drivers directory, but it didn't get copied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdes Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Very strange! Is $OEM$ at the root of your CD? (i.e. at the same level of I386) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janc Posted February 8, 2005 Author Share Posted February 8, 2005 Yes, $OEM$ seems to get copied to the CD correctly (at the CD root) . I can even install the drivers from the CD after the install. They just don't get copied to the HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Wolf Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Well this fixed my problem. I was doing everything I could think of (iso settings, double checking filenames, etc). This did it (setting the option to "Yes") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
