kof94 Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I read somwhere (I can't remember where) that if using the $OEM$ folder for driver installations could cause a file corruption if you then tried to install a textmode driver via F6, is this true? Or is it only true if your trying to install the same driver twice.basicly I want to know if I use the mass storage driverpack will I still be able to install additional drivers from floppy if it's not covered in the pack?Thanks.

jbm Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 It's been my experience that if you have oempreinstall=yes in yourwinnt.sif file that F6 will not work. You'll still get the promptto press F6 to install drivers. But you'll get errors saying itcan't read the disk or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kof94 Posted December 24, 2005 Author Share Posted December 24, 2005 Thinks, I'll add two options to my multi-boot then (with or without BTS DP's). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneless Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 like @jbm said , if you have if you have set oempreinstall=yes in winnt.sifF6 wil not work .WITH or WITHOUT bts .so you neeed a third option : VANILLA XP for using F6 .the magic is to do not need F6 .

kof94 Posted December 26, 2005 Author Share Posted December 26, 2005 Yeah, your right, that's what I ment. I only use OEMPreinstall for BTS DP's anyway so my other option wont have it. Thanks for your post though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
