Driver not found error


Recommended Posts

This is the first time I'm trying an unattended XP install. All I'm adding are my raid drivers by following this tutorial:

http://maximumpc.com/2005/01/how_to_slipstre.html

When I install, I get the following error: "The file sisraid.sys could not be found", and the install is aborted.

here's my WINNT.SIF:

[Data]

AutoPartition=0

MsDosInitiated="0"

UnattendedInstall="Yes"

[unattended]

UnattendMode=ProvideDefault

OemPreinstall=Yes

OemSkipEula=Yes

NoWaitAfterTextMode=1

NoWaitAfterGUIMode=1

WaitForReboot="No"

TargetPath=\WINDOWS

DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore

OemFilesPath = %SYSTEMDRIVE%\$OEM$

OemPnPDriversPath="drivers\RAID\winxp"

[GuiUnattended]

OEMSkipWelcome = 1

[userData]

ProductKey=*****-*****-*****-*****-*****

FullName="wiglaf"

OrgName=""

ComputerName=wiglaf

My sisraid.sys file is sitting in the cd driectory "\$OEM$\$1\drivers\RAID\winxp" so I don't know why it wouldn't be able to find the file. The tutorial I followed also had me mess around with a TXTSETUP.SIF file to add some info about my driver to it (like "PCI\VEN_1039&DEV_0180&REV_01 = sisraid"). Do I even need a modified TXTSETUP.SIF file to do this? Why can't it find my file?

The problem turned out to be that I wasn't making a cab file out of the driver and putting it into the i386 directory. The tutorial I was following omitted that step, the same tutorial on this site didn't.
