What files are needed?

[perelo]

I´m trying to unattend install a HP NC4200 laptop but I can´t get the drivers to install properly. I´ve built the file tree as described in the MS article ID: 254078 but I can´t get it to work. I´ve got the driver DVD from the manufacturer and I wonder if I have to copy all of the different driver files to the server or will it do with just the .inf, .dll and .ini files? Have I got the syntax right for the OemPnPDriversPath?

I´ll attach my file and a picture of my filetree.

Removed my wrong answer.

All you really need are *.inf, *.cat and *.sys files.

also, don't forget to add the path to each driver in your answer file.

Your dir layout looks fine.

But you need to go one directory deeper in your OEMFILESPATH.

See part of my driver path :

OemPnpDriversPath="drivers\Audio\ad1980;drivers\Audio\alc650;drivers\Audio\c-media;drivers\Audio\p4pexse;drivers\chipset\i\xp;drivers\chipset\i;drivers\chipset\intel\xp

I´m reorganizing my filetree with a folder named after the modelnumber of the NC4200, in that folder I´ll put the .sys, .inf and.cat files from the different devices.

Is the path correct then?

OemPnPDriversPath="drivers\0_chset\4200;drivers\1_lan\4200;drivers\2_video\4200;drivers\3_audio\4200;drivers\4_tpad\4200;drivers\5_mdm\4200;drivers\6_wlan\4200;drivers\7_wlan2\4200;drivers\8_btoth\4200;drivers\9_misc\4200;"

//Per E

Yes it is, aslong as the *.cat, *.inf and *.sys files are in the "4200" dir.

Hi,

We have been using the unattend script for quiet a while to build windows 2003 sp1 servers. However our latest batch of servers have new HP network cards which require a specific driver. I have followed the steps to add the OemPnPDriversPath to the file however this has not worked. Can some please have a look at my file and let me know what i'm missing??? If i'm just installing a network driver do i need to have all the directory listed or can i just have the network driver.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

I have attched the unattend file as well as the file paths.

Cheers

Richard
