Topic: [SOLVED]XP Media Center /Mass storage Unattended install problem

Hi

I have created a XP Media Center disc with the Mass storage drivers included (Unattended installation).
The drivers are not being installed as at the end of the setup stage no Hard drive is detected.
Using the same method, I have successfully created two other discs (XP Home & XP Pro) which work fine.
I only want to use the Mass storage Driver pack. and the winnt.sif file is the same on all disc's.
I am testing using all 3 discs on the same Computer, there are no hardware changes.
The only difference's are the O/systems.

Here is the winnt.sif file being used.

Thanks for any help with this.

Re: [SOLVED]XP Media Center /Mass storage Unattended install problem

Well you failed to select mass storage text mode...

From your DPs_BASE.log
DP_MassStorage_textmode = "no"

How Do you expect to find your HDD if you don't add the drivers??? wink tongue


there is a link to the tutorial in my signature below... (RTFM)


Thanks for providing excellent details - I always like that! smile big_smile smile

Hi Overflow

Many thanks, keep up the good work.
