FAQ | Drivers not getting installed.

[mechtn]

Hey guys,

I'm working on my first unattended cd that installs windows and the appropriate drivers for my motherboard (asus a7v600).

I added these lines to my winnt.sif.

OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\000_network;Drivers\001_audio;Drivers\002_raid;Drivers\003_usb"

DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore

I created a folder called $OEM$\$1\Drivers and then created the following folders inside.

000_network

000_audio

002_raid

003_usb

I copied the appropriate driver files directly into each folder and have tested them on an installation just from the CD (which works fine). There are no subfolders in the directories; the files are in the root of each different driver directory.

The install of windows works great and doesn’t require any interaction at all. However the USB driver has not been updated to the USB2 driver and the Ethernet/raid/audio drivers are not installed at all.

Does anyone have a suggestion that I should try to get this working?

Thanks!

I thought USB2.0 is included in SP2. Slipstream it.

No need to update.

For the rest of the drivers. You need to leave the original treestructure intact.

U can delete the setup.exe etc etc

Assign in the winnt.sif to the folder where the inf is.

Drivers
	 |
	 |_001_Audio
			 |_Support
			 |_WDM
				|_2K-XP


In winnt.sif ==>   OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\001_Audio\WDM\2K-XP;"

That's what i think

You must set this in your winnt.sif:

[Unattended]
OemPreinstall = "Yes"
