Any way to integrate hard disk controller drivers.

[AndyD]

in a slipstreamed/unattended setup cd so that the F6 portion of WinXP text setup is unneccesary?

Yes. Add a folder to you WinXP disc called $OEM$\$1\PnPDrivers\HardDisk

Put all the drivers in there. (*.sys, *.dll, *.inf,and I think Txtsetup.oem)

Open your winnt.sif file with Notepad

Goto the [unattended] section

Add the following

OENPnPDriversPath=PnPDrivers\HardDisk

Nice!! Thanks for the info.

Hope it works. I posted something exactly the same the otherday. Troll/search the forums to find it. It has more details about multi folders with drivers.

Just tried it. Is it meant to install during the GUI portion or Text?? Just that it didn't find the drivers during text setup (f6).

Text phase.

Did you include the Textsetup.oem file in the folder?

Oh and you shouldn't need to press F6.

I did. I will give it a try again tonight. Got most things working so far with unattended. Just need this one thing :)

You can't just point to the files in the winnt.sif; you also need to modify the TXTSETUP.SIF file in the I386 directory of your CD using the information in the TXTSETUP.OEM file for your drivers. It's a bit complicated, go search the forums at m.s.f.n.org (remove periods, neowin censors the site name for some reason).
