Software / WINNT.SIF location... where should it be?

« on: April 03, 2003, 08:54:22 AM »

Hi all,
I just try to clear for myself where winnt.sif should be for unattended setup from bootable CD? I put it in flopy drive and all working OK. But if I will place winnt.sif in I386 folder on installation CD, is it will be OK too? Or not???

Microsoft said in KB Q216258:
Save the unattended answer file as winnt.sif on a floppy disk

Hmmm... but I\'m not sure that is only one place for it. Any help me with it?

Thx

p.s. Sorry, I have no time for checking it by myself playing with location of winnt.sif

Software / nvidia and answer file

« on: April 03, 2003, 07:05:53 AM »

Check this:
1. In you answer file (winnt.sif) on flopy you need these keys:
[Unattended]
    UnattendMode=FullUnattended
    OemPreinstall=Yes
    OemPnPDriversPath=driversvideo
    DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore

2. You need to create this folder $OEM$$$INF and copy (not move) all .inf and .cat files from your nVidia driver folder to this folder.

p.s. I\'m not sure about .cat files, but I do this and it working... at least for my ATI drivers.
