Unattended Install with winnt.sif

Has anyone done this successfully with XP? I Updated my XP Install disk with SP2 and added my SATA/RAID drivers too. It will install the drivers and try to start windows(where I choose partitions), but I get an error. Any ideas?

Here's my .sif file(some important things have been deleted for my protection)

Thanks for the link. Problem solved. Is it possible to install more than just SATA Drivers? Can I also install audio drivers, LAN Drivers, Chipset Drivers, etc...? If so, what steps do I need to take to do this?

Yes you can do all that & the info on how to do it is on that link. Just remember to keep WordWrap off & type the command in one line.

I read the link and saw an example of the .sif file with multiple drivers ...

But it didn't explain any details. For example, I have a file... soundblaster.exe. Do I need to use winzip and extract the xp driver files only, or just point windows to soundblaster.exe and that's it? Same thing with my display drivers, LAN Drivers, etc. Do I leave these files in the same format they were in when I downloaded them from the manuf. web site? Or do I need to extract certain folders from them?

you gotta extract the drivers from the install packages. use winrar for it. its been awhile since i did it and cant remember all too well the whole process. http://overclockers.com/tips1167/index03.asp that explains it.
