November 14, 200619 yr 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:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend"> <settings pass="offlineServicing"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-PnpCustomizationsNonWinPE" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <DriverPaths> <PathAndCredentials wcm:action="add" wcm:keyValue="004"> <Path>%CDROM%\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\004_RAID\1</Path> </PathAndCredentials> </DriverPaths> </component> </settings> <settings pass="auditSystem"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-PnpCustomizationsNonWinPE" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <DriverPaths> <PathAndCredentials wcm:action="add" wcm:keyValue="004"> <Path>%CDROM%\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\004_RAID\1</Path> </PathAndCredentials> </DriverPaths> </component> </settings> <settings pass="windowsPE"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-PnpCustomizationsWinPE" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <DriverPaths> <PathAndCredentials wcm:action="add" wcm:keyValue="004"> <Path>%CDROM%\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\004_RAID\1</Path> </PathAndCredentials> </DriverPaths> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <DiskConfiguration> <Disk wcm:action="add"> <CreatePartitions> <CreatePartition wcm:action="add"> <Order>1</Order> <Size>30000</Size> <Type>Primary</Type> </CreatePartition> </CreatePartitions> <ModifyPartitions> <ModifyPartition wcm:action="add"> <Active>true</Active> <Extend>false</Extend> <Format>NTFS</Format> <Letter>C</Letter> <Order>1</Order> <PartitionID>1</PartitionID> </ModifyPartition> </ModifyPartitions> <DiskID>0</DiskID> <WillWipeDisk>true</WillWipeDisk> </Disk> </DiskConfiguration> <ImageInstall> <OSImage> <InstallTo> <DiskID>0</DiskID> <PartitionID>1</PartitionID> </InstallTo> </OSImage> </ImageInstall> <UserData> <ProductKey> <Key>XXXXX-xxxxx-XXXXX-xxxxx-XXXXX</Key> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> </ProductKey> <AcceptEula>true</AcceptEula> <FullName>Daedlus</FullName> <Organization>..</Organization> </UserData> </component> </settings> <settings pass="oobeSystem"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <OOBE> <HideEULAPage>true</HideEULAPage> <NetworkLocation>Home</NetworkLocation> <ProtectYourPC>3</ProtectYourPC> <SkipMachineOOBE>true</SkipMachineOOBE> <SkipUserOOBE>false</SkipUserOOBE> </OOBE> </component> </settings> <cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim://omega/dvista/sources/install.wim#Windows Vista ULTIMATE" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" /></unattend>I have attached the error Im getting... Thanks in advance for the help
November 14, 200619 yr 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
November 22, 200619 yr 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.
November 26, 200619 yr Author 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
November 26, 200619 yr 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 awhileIts 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
November 28, 200619 yr Author 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.
