@kickarse
Intel offers chipset drivers. These chipset drivers contain IDE part.

Intel IDE drivers are different. They don't add binary files.
*.inf file adds windows default driver: pciiide.sys or intelide.sys.

At windows textmode installation, pciiide.sys or intelide.sys matches hardware too.
No need to add Intel IDE at textmode part.

no we cant rename teh infs it breaks driver signing... same for ide.inf
i assume the one ide driver is seperate because it is included with a signed chipset driver...

it is probably also a replaceme3nt driver
(meaning you dont want it for sysprep = conflict with existing driver)

I'm just curious on why this is the case. For me I have to scan both C:\D\C\I for *ide.inf and add those HWIDS, and then C:\D\M...

Also, is it possible to change the inf's that are specific to a certain OS to have something like infname_xp.inf? That way when searching for HWIDS we don't accidentally add 2000 only inf?
