j4ever Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 does this work in XP64? it didnt work in 32 and thats the reason for having to do so many workarounds. if i set OEMPreinstall=Yes, will installing Raid drivers from a floppy work?
jbm Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 No. At first it will appear to because you'll be asked to choose thedrivers on the floppy. But later in the install setup wont be ableto find them.
j4ever Posted June 18, 2005 Author Posted June 18, 2005 SONOFA!!!does the drivers from cd method still work with xp64? u know that whole setdevicepath and stuff? or do they need to be 64 bit files to work?also, does my winnt.sif go in the AMD64 folder or I386?
jbm Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 Drivers do have to be 64bit. I've been able to integrate most drivers tothe CD using this method. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=47053 The only one that didn't work is nforce3 raid. The winnt.sif goes in theAMD64 folder.
j4ever Posted June 19, 2005 Author Posted June 19, 2005 i know they have to be 64bit.anyway,now that i have OEMPreinstall=No, how do I get it to run my regtweaks.reg. since it doesnt look for the cmdlines.txt in the $OEM$ folder, how do i get my regtweaks.reg done during setup?
jbm Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 If you set oempreinstall to no then it ignores the oempnpdriverspathand it will not copy anything in your $oem$ folder to the hard drive.It will still run your cmdlines.txt just place your regtweak files in thesame place your have your cmdlines.txt. Installing drivers and apps is anotherthing. Theres other posts about installing apps from cd, as far as driversthis is what I came up with and it seems to work for me but there isno guaranteeI got the ideas for these procedures from reading many posts and guides on www.msfn.orgSo thanks to everyone there.To be able to use to set OemPreinstall = No and still use OemPnPDriversPath and F6.And Cmdlines.txt still works.step 1 Make a self extracting file of your driver directory that you use in PNPDRIVERSPATH. We'll call it drivers.exe. set it to extract in the current folder with no prompting. Should create a folder .\DRIVERSStep 2 copy the file you just created to AMD64 directory in your CD/DVD source.Step 3 Add the following to your winnt.sif file [unattended] DetachedProgram="%windir%\drivers.exe"step 4 Edit txtsetup.sif [sourceDisksFiles] bootvid.dll = 1,,,,,,3_,2,0,0,,1,2 drivers.exe = 1,,,,,,3_,1,0,0,,1,2 <-add this line. this copies drivers.exe to the /windows directory during textmode install.step 5 Edit HIVESFT.INF and HIVESFT32.INF and add edit the device path. Search for DevicePath in each file. My path I use is HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion","DevicePath",0x00020002,"%SystemRoot%\inf;%systemroot%\DRIVERS\CHIPSET\NFORCE\SMBus;%systemroot%\DRIVERS\CHIPSET\NFORCE\GART;%systemroot%\DRIVERS\LAN\nforce;%systemroot%\DRIVERS\GRAPHICS\nvidia;%systemroot%\DRIVERS\SOUND\AUDIGY2;%systemroot%\DRIVERS\SOUND\nforce;%systemroot%\DRIVERS\SOUND\ALC850;%systemroot%\DRIVERS\STORAGE" After the %systemroot%\inf; is the samething you would have put in OEMPNPDRIVERSPATH in you winnt.sifStep 6 Make your CD/DVD
