Hey all!

Newb here... and so far, so good on my first few attempts at an Unattended CD but I need to know how to force a certain driver to install before other drivers.

My problem is that on our new Dell Workstation 470s, the Intel Chipset drivers seem to install before the Adaptec SATA drivers. Normally, this isn't a problem, but the chipset RAID driver doesn't work right and the RAID is never seen by XP. (Hardware sees it fine). Even using the latest drivers that Dell has posted doesn't work.

Now, when I force XP to use the Adaptec driver (Letting XP find it doesn't work.. says it already has the best driver) XP seen the RAID.

How can I make sure that the correct driver gets installed?

Thanks very much! :D

Oh, I'm using the most current driverpacks from Bashrat on the CD and the 470 has the Adaptec Embedded Serial ATA HostRAID Controller with the Intel E7525 chipset.

Ok, I found that the driver is there, but so is the Intel driver and that seems to be the default. Any idea on how I can make the Adaptec driver the one that XP uses for the RAID?
