VIA Chipset Driver Help Please.

[ziggy1971]

Hello all,

I would like to know how I can integrate the VIA chipset driver into the Unattended Windows XP SP2 CD\DVD.

I've followed the folder format on this website:

http://unattended.msfn.org/intermediate/drivers/drivers.htm

so my Chipset Driver would be copied into the D:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\000_Chipset folder.

(D:\ - is a second HDD that I use for all of the files & folders necessary for the Unattended Windows XP CD)

I have a Gigabyte GA-7VM400AM(F) motherboard and the chipset is a VIA KM400A, at least that's what the manual says.

I also read through the guide at: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=37072

However, I'm still not sure how to get the "Right" driver and how to integrate it into the CD\DVD.

Any advice\help is greatly appreciated,

Thanx in advance,

ziggy1971

The best method ever

Hello all,

I still haven't figured out how to get the VIA Chipset drivers to install.

I copied all 8 of the following files to the "VIA" folder:

viamach.cat

VIAMACH.INF

videbus.sys

vIdeInst.dll

videport.cat

videport.inf

videport.sys

VProPage.dll

Then I created the WinXPSP2.iso, burned it to disk and ran the unattended install, but this way Windows Setup doesn't install my VIA drivers at all.

Can anyone help me on this?

Thanx

Hello all,

Does anyone have any ideas on this? Or am I looking for an answer in the wrong place?

Try adding drivers other than your chipset to your $OEM$\drivers path to see if anything is getting installed. If, for example, you can get your NIC drivers to install, but not your chipset, it will show you that your technique is correct but that you do not have the correct drivers in your folder.

Hope this helps.

Hello all,

I did what brainstane recommended.

Note: There are "No" spaces between the directory listings, I only added them to see what's going on better.

Initially I ONLY added the following:

[unattended]

UnattendMode = FullUnattended

OemSkipEula = Yes

OemPreinstall = Yes

TargetPath = \WINDOWS

Repartition = Yes

UnattendSwitch = "Yes"

WaitForReboot = "No"

OemPnPDriversPath =

"Drivers\001_Network\Realtek_Gigabit_NIC_Driver\WinXP;

Drivers\002_Graphics\nVidia_Driver;

Drivers\003_Sound\Realtek_AC_'97_Driver\WDM;

Drivers\003_Sound\Realtek_AC_'97_Driver\WinNT4;

Drivers\004_Monitor\Syncmaster_915N_Driver"

DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore

All of the drivers installed without any problems, Great!!!

Then I ONLY added the following (This is ALL the directories for the .inf files):

[unattended]

UnattendMode = FullUnattended

OemSkipEula = Yes

OemPreinstall = Yes

TargetPath = \WINDOWS

Repartition = Yes

UnattendSwitch = "Yes"

WaitForReboot = "No"

OemPnPDriversPath =

"Drivers\000_Chipset\VIA_Hyperion4in1_4.56v_Driver\AGP; Drivers\000_Chipset\VIA_Hyperion4in1_4.56v_Driver\Agp95; Drivers\000_Chipset\VIA_Hyperion4in1_4.56v_Driver\AgpME; Drivers\000_Chipset\VIA_Hyperion4in1_4.56v_Driver\IDEWin2K; Drivers\000_Chipset\VIA_Hyperion4in1_4.56v_Driver\IDEWinXP; Drivers\000_Chipset\VIA_Hyperion4in1_4.56v_Driver\Server2003; Drivers\000_Chipset\VIA_Hyperion4in1_4.56v_Driver\WIN2K; Drivers\000_Chipset\VIA_Hyperion4in1_4.56v_Driver\WIN9X; Drivers\000_Chipset\VIA_Hyperion4in1_4.56v_Driver\WINME; Drivers\000_Chipset\VIA_Hyperion4in1_4.56v_Driver\WINNT; Drivers\000_Chipset\VIA_Hyperion4in1_4.56v_Driver\WinXP; Drivers\000_Chipset\VIA_Hyperion4in1_4.56v_Driver\Inf\Server2003; Drivers\000_Chipset\VIA_Hyperion4in1_4.56v_Driver\Inf\Win2000; Drivers\000_Chipset\VIA_Hyperion4in1_4.56v_Driver\Inf\Win95; Drivers\000_Chipset\VIA_Hyperion4in1_4.56v_Driver\Inf\Win98; Drivers\000_Chipset\VIA_Hyperion4in1_4.56v_Driver\Inf\Win98SE; Drivers\000_Chipset\VIA_Hyperion4in1_4.56v_Driver\Inf\Winme; Drivers\000_Chipset\VIA_Hyperion4in1_4.56v_Driver\Inf\Winxp; Drivers\000_Chipset\VIA_Hyperion4in1_4.56v_Driver\VIA_IDE_Driver\VBusPort\Driver\SRV2003; Drivers\000_Chipset\VIA_Hyperion4in1_4.56v_Driver\VIA_IDE_Driver\VBusPort\Driver\XP2K"

DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore

NONE of the drivers were installed!!!

I did try to install the Chipset driver manually and it works. I even went to Gigabytes website to verify which drivers were installed and which were not.

Gigabytes website:

I'm completely at a loss here, I don't know what else to try.

Any other Suggestions are very welcome.

Thanx anyway,

Cheers,
