March 7, 200521 yr Author If i remember correctly you need to changeOemPreinstall = YestoOemPreinstall = No<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Thank you very much, the problem with line 1 is solved.But now the installation does not identify the hard drive, Someone has an idea why the problem exists?.thanks.
March 7, 200521 yr Well... the answer is VERY simple... By setting OemPreinstall=No, Setup won't find the drivers anymore...You HAVE to set it OemPreinstall=Yes.And... line 1 of WHICH FILE contains an error? Please post your txtsetup.oem file.

March 9, 200521 yr @shaked: not difficult that you're getting errors...1. You're using subfolder, which you should NOT;2. You should REMOVE the drivers for the other versions of Windows.For more info, I'd like to refer you to trainee's info topic

March 30, 200521 yr Here's what I did. I got help from another post in this forum (can't remember where it's at; I'll let you know in the near future hopefully). Thanks for the driver packs Bashrat. But for some odd reason, I could never get them to work with the VIA SATA 8237 drivers. It always errored out. If the drivers need to be OEM without a floppy, then there are some settings that are required for the WINNT.SIF file. [GuiUnattended]OemSkipWelcome = 1[Data]UnattendedInstall=YesMSDosInitiated=No The following lines also must be added to TXTSETUP.SIF:[sourceDisksFiles]viamraid.sys = 1,,,,,,4_,4,1,,,1,4viapdsk.sys = 1,,,,,,4_,4,1,,,1,4[HardwareIdsDatabase]PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3149 = "viamraid"PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_4149 = "viapdsk"[sCSI.Load]viamraid = viamraid.sys,4viapdsk = viapdsk.sys,4[sCSI]viamraid = "VIA SATA RAID Controller"viapdsk = "VIA ATA/ATAPI Host Controller"I used the "OEM" method of adding drivers by creating the $OEM$ folder in the source folder (and the i386 folder as well to make sure). I also compressed the driver files using the makecab command. When you download the latest drivers, you use the "DriverDisk" folder to create the File structure needed for the $OEM$/$1\Drivers folder. Only copy the TXTSETUP.OEM file and the 2 folders with them. Make sure to reference the drivers in the WINNT.SIF file by doing something similar to this:[unattended]OemPnPDriversPath = "Drivers\VIAMRAID;Drivers\VIAMRAID\PIDE\Winxp;Drivers\VIAMRAID\RAID\Winxp"That's what I used in my folder structure.That's how I got it to FINALLY work. I spent 1 week trying to figure out what was wrong after following all the SATA driver slipstreaming forums and sites I could find. There was a certain error that always came up after the textmode installation was finished, and it was finally solved with the lines above in the [Data] section in WINNT.SIFSo Bashrat, how do I get those driver packs to work? It just won't work for me. Maybe it's my configuration? I'm using a SATA and an IDE hard drive, but wanted Windows XP SP2 on my SATA drive. I have no floppy. I'm also using a PCI sound card because it has 2 cd connectors on it and my mini-ATX mobo only comes with one. My GeForce FX 5700LE is also generic (Apollo Graphics, but they supposedly only produce everything BUT NVidia cards on their website. The card still works good though, and overclocks really well 225/325 stock -> 275/400 overclocked, but that's actually supposed to be the "normal" clock for a 5700 anyway...go figure).Is there something that I was doing wrong? Maybe it was that I was combining both methods for installing drivers instead of just doing one or the other?
March 31, 200521 yr Isn't that the EXACT same thing as I have???<{POST_SNAPBACK}>If it is, then I'm sorry. Maybe I just didn't do your method right. I'll try it again. This time I won't try to combine the methods.Sorry.
