valkyre Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 My guess would to be to somehow add them to the drives.cab file. But I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westi Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 (edited) This is a long way, but the best way to add drivers !-replace ???? with the name of your driver/file1.open i386/txtsetup.sif2.under section[sourceDisksFiles.x86]insert this line exactly!!:????.sys = 1,,,,,,4_,4,1,,,1,43.search for PCI\VEN_105A&DEV_4D33 = "ultra"insert a similarly line with infos from your inf-filealter it to PCI\VEN_????&DEV_???? = "????"4.search for ultra= ultra.sys,4insert a line ????= ????.sys,45.search for [sCSI]insert a line ????="Name of the Controller"6.save txtsetup.sf7.create $OEM$ and $1-folder8.copy only WHQL drivers to the $1-folderExample:txtsetup.sif for promise fasttrak:[sourceDisksFiles.x86]FASTTRAK.SYS = 1,,,,,,4_,4,1,,,1,4...PCI\VEN_105A&DEV_4D33 = "ultra"PCI\VEN_105A&DEV_5275.DeviceDesc="Promise FastTrak TX2000 Controller (PDC20276)"...ultra = ultra.sys,4fasttrak = fasttrak.sys,4...[sCSI]fasttrak = "Promise FastTrak TX2000 Controller (PDC20276)" You can add as much as you want.You can use this txtsetup.sif also on systems without this controller.Good luckor read this Other Folders for $OEM§ Edited October 5, 2003 by Westi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ypsos Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 What about the i386/HIVESYS.INF does this need any editing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcaj Posted October 6, 2003 Author Share Posted October 6, 2003 What about the i386/HIVESYS.INF does this need any editing?i have no idea, but i really want to get that '$OEM$\$1\Textmode dir working cos that would be the easiest if there's just some kind of switch to tell windows that you want it to use that dir - i.e: useTextmodeDir = Yes - if only it were that easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
