buletov Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 just delete winnt.sif and you will be fine <{POST_SNAPBACK}>no reason for that, if you want F6, do this in winnt.sif:OemPreinstall=No(though you'll lose the $OEM$ copying section...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 @buletov: I'm quite convinced I saw weeks or months ago someone's post in which he/she was claiming that with OemPreinstall=Yes, but some other setting set different, he could load drivers from the floppy using F6...A few weeks ago, 2 or 3 topics about this have been started and in none of them somebody found the solution...But are you really sure there isn't any other way? (you're a senior member here too, so you might know it...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buletov Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 well quite frankly, i don't have a floppy in my computer...for me personlly i think it'a an omission in the windows setup...so what if it's an oem install, why lose feature like this...

mtec Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Hi, I'm having the same problem with a iastor driver on a ASUS motherboard.F6 willn't work and I've tried to do whats below but received a error message a the start of install, BOOT.INIcould anybody please make the advice of this post into some instructions that are easier to follow (PLEASE) I'm a bit of a newbie with these sort of issues.I cannot find a winnt.sif file within the install dir. Where do i put the .cab file once I've made it ?The driver is Intel ICH8R that I'm having troubles with.On top of this I have burnt at least 5 discs with images i made with n-lite, I added the drivers but theres has been different issues each time and when I did get a install to work I received the blue screen of death on restart ( I have used n-lite before doing the same thing with my laptop it worked no worries )So even if i can get F6 to work maybe I'll get this system out of my face.ThanksBelow is quoted from this post.create $oem$\drivers\IAA and copy contents of floppy here.add path to OemPnpDriversPath in winnt.sifuse makecab.exe on iastor.sysmove iastor.sy_ to i386 folderadd the following to txtsetup.sif either all at the end or you can add these entries to their respective sections already there. (the default iaStor_ICH6R as a driver name does not seem to work, 8 letter limit? changed to iaStor and problem went away.)CODE[sCSI]iaStor = "Intel® 82801FR/82801ER/6300ESB SATA RAID Controller"[sourceDisksFiles]iastor.sys = 1,,,,,,3_,4,1[HardwareIdsDatabase]PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2652&CC_0104 = "iaStor"[sCSI.load]iaStor = iastor.sys,4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaclaz Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 @mtec@angel0104Maybe you should try to integrate the drivers "normally".See these:http://www.msfn.org/board/Add-slipstream-S...ion-t77999.htmlhttp://www.msfn.org/board/XP-network-unatt...ATA-t32594.htmljaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtec Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I did read that thread, but do I need the WINNT.SIF file? It's say's,-No need for any entries in WINNT.SIF (except the one above).I can't see in the instructions of that thread what needs to be added to the WINNT.SIF. But I can't find it in the install dir for XP.Sorry for the questions, I'm just confirming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
