RAID Drivers on DVD

Featured Replies

Has anyone managed to add additional drivers to their DVD? I am trying to add RAID drivers without having to have an additional media. I am assuming that I just dont know how to tell it to look on the DVD. Here is my Autounattend.xml:

the %cd-rom% variable does not work with the unattend file, your best bet would be to inject the drivers into the WIM file itself, or use a configuration set

  • 2 weeks later...

so has anyone figured out a way to do this yet. i'm actually interested in this too. i've got the WAIK and have succeffuly create an Autounattend.xml file but can't figure out how to include it, along with my raid drivers, onto the dvd.

From my experience the CD Rom/DVD Rom that windows installs from is always D:\, so theoretically you would just tell it to look in D:\$oem$\$1\Drivers or where ever you want

simplest answer is $OEM$ are not copied untill much later on than PE unless you use a synchronous command to do that and it getting done before the PE pass.

Daedlus said part of the answer cause thats what i have been doing for quite awhile

Its not allway's D: Btw, depends how many partitions you have where the Dvd will be.

<Path>F:\sources\pnpDrivers\2</Path> you must give it exact location and work's like a charm

Well I have 1 HDD with 2 partitions, and it makes one C:\ and the other E:\ with my DVD being D:\.

If I use my thumb drive it makes the thumb drive C:\, my DVD D:\, and my HDD partitions E:\ and F:\

But like I said this is my experience.
