<![CDATA[DriverPacks.net Forum - MsDosInitiated = "0" is floppy still working then for drivers ?]]> http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=3291 Mon, 01 Dec 2008 15:24:24 +0000 PunBB <![CDATA[Re: MsDosInitiated = "0" is floppy still working then for drivers ?]]> http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?pid=26686#p26686 MsDosInitiated = "0" does not refer to the drivers.  It refers to what you are booting from.  If you're booting from floppy diskettes, then you set:  MsDosInitiated = "1".  If you're booting from CD/DVD (which is what almost all people are using to install Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003), then you set:  MsDosInitiated = "0".  So, in almost all cases you should have it set to a value of "0".  Below is a quote that I copied from MSFN's WINNT.SIF Reference.

MsDosInitiated = "0"

If this setting is on "0" it will inform Setup that you are installing from CD, put a value of 1
if you use only diskettes to boot.

A floppy is 7 dollars. if you can't figure out how to scrape together 7 bucks...
1 i doubt you will figure this out. LOL wink
2 i fail to see how the info would be useful to you if you have no access  AT ALL  to a floppy anywhere. hmm
3 why you would expect us to support you for free (since you don't even have 7 dollars to donate) tongue


it is a lot more fun (for you) if you give some details as to what you are trying to do. and hopefully that is related to DriverPacks

I can also not test if it works or not because i have no good old skool floppy. smile
But would be good to now if this command would break F6. hmm
And respect for this work you guys do to make this Diver Packs this is really a dam lot of work. yikes

i belive it is the OEM flag that disables the F6 funtionality, and kills several other features that are helpful for an unattended install.

if you wish to use f6 then you probably also wish to do an attended install.

If you use DriverPacks BASE to add textmode mass storage drivers you will never need an f6 floppy again wink
that is why we are here big_smile
