Newbie needs a little help

[-.-PhanTom-.-]

Hey all...

Have just recently discovered the wonderfull world of NLite and unattended installaions

So far I have an XP with SP2 slipstreamed + all critical hotfixes since SP2 integrated. Then this has been through NLite, with component removal, tweaks etc.

What I basically want to do first off, is

1) install SATA drivers during boot install (the F6 issue)

2) install chipset, LAN and audiodriver

(I have an Abit IC7-MAX3 motherboard)

So what I have done is read, read and read, but I still have problems.

I have tested my new iso on VMWare, but I can see if the SATA trick worked using vmware, correct?

In my XP iso dir I then have:

1) "$OEM$\$1\DRIVERS\SATA" - with the following files:

iaStor.cat

iaStor.inf

iaStor.sys

SI3114r.inf

Si3114r.sys

SIWinAcc.sys

TxtSetup.oem modified (and drivers compressed to I386 using "makecab"

2) "$OEM$\$1\DRIVERS000_chipset" - with the following files:

865.cat

865.inf

dmi_pci.cat

dmi_pci.inf

ich5core.cat

ich5core.inf

ich5ide.cat

ich5ide.inf

ich5usb.cat

ich5usb.inf

3) "$OEM4\$1\DRIVERS\001_network" - with the following files:

e1000325.cat

e1000325.din

e1000325.inf

E1000325.sys

4) "$OEM$\INF" - with duplicate chipset driver files

My problems are that:

1) SATA drivers - not installed correctly... does not show up correctly-- in VMWare only?

2) chipset, network, audio and monitor drivers not correctly installed...

a) Should all the other drivers besides sata drivers also be compressed to I386 using "makecab"?

Would appreciate if someone could cast some light on these issues...

TIA

But same result
