Hello!

Please help me...I am newbie in this

I finished my first bootable cd (I use advices from beginning users),I test it using WMWare and it is working!

But When I try to make more(add drivers and softwares) using WINNT.SIF and $OEM$ folders,drivers doesn't install!Some softwares install after XP terminate setup process(yahoo and msn messenger).

I do not know where I do the mistake!

Here is my WINNT.sif :

Here is my batch file:

ECHO.

ECHO Install nforce6.65

ECHO Please wait...

Start /wait %systemdrive%\Drivers\000_nforce6.65\setup.exe -s

ECHO.

ECHO Install forceware 81.98

ECHO Please wait...

Start /wait %systemdrive%\Drivers\001_nvidia forceware81.98\setup.exe -s

P.S.: I extract the 2 drivers and put them in their folders.Of course I want to install all from the bootable DVD if I will find out all I want to know!

Any help and advice will be blessed!

Thank you,

Theodor

well, i have an ati radeon but i think your driver path cannot contain space on it "Drivers\001_nvidia forceware81.98".

also you are trying to install the drivers twice. one from winnnt.sif and the other from that batch file. here's what i do with my intel chipset drivers and my radeon card to give you a hint on what can you try.

for my intel chipset, i extracted all the inf files on it and put it on Drivers\00_intelinf. windows installs them during detecting hardware stage.

for my radeon card i do two things. one i extracting my display drivers and copy them on Drivers\01_ati so windows can install it from detecting hardware stage. for the control center (to configure card settings on windows i made an admin install and then i install it in a batch file with proper use of switches.

i've heard tat you can install the forceware setup with /S switch. if it installs the display drivers and the control panel that all you need to do. run it from a batch file. for the nforce i really cant help you as i dont have to install on any machine i worked with.

hope this helps you.

Are you trying to install the drivers within VMWare?

That wont work, you'll need to instll to a real machine

to test any driver installations. I use a second hard drive

for that purpose.

Thanks guys!

I tested in VMWare and applications works...drivers not!

I tested on D:\ partition of my hdd and it is ok(I give up the part with drivers).

I use the batch file install.cmd(I copy in the $1 folder).

I try to install windows media player using this: %systemdrive%\Install\Applications\WMP10\MP10Setup.exe /Q:A /R:N but it is not working!Someone know?

Well the driver I want to integrate is nforce 6.65(I have an Asus A8N-E mb and I want ONLY this driver downloaded from Asus!)...and until now I think I have to separate the driver in 4 folders...: Ethernet,IDE,SATA,SMBus.

But God knows the order...!!! And there are too many inf files!

Also I intend to integrate for my PCI-E Leadtek 6600GT Extreme the nvidia forceware 81.98 from nvidia site...anybody know how?

Thanks...

See ya,

Theodor
