I've been reading all the old posts about how to install the FastTrak RAID
driver during an unattended scripted (winnt.sif) installation of any version
of Windows. I can't find anyone who actually did it, although some
references were made to success. Could someone please post how? I know
how to burn a bootable CD with other drivers, but this is my first time
trying to do it with the initial RAID driver (which is different, as you
know).

I have gotten unattended network installs working with Dell's PERC3/Di
RAID controller. A CD-based install with another controller should be
similar.

The procedure is here:

In my case, I had a problem which was resolved by:

Good luck.

Thanks! I'm about to do a PERC3/Di, and the links above will save me
hours of troubleshooting.

Installing Mass Storage Drivers unattended on a bootable CD doesn't work.
You have to modify the setup files to include the driver so it acts as
though it is a inbox driver. We don't provide instructions for this due to
setup was not designed to work in this manner and the complexity of
rewriting these files

| Thanks for the reply. But did you get this to work with a CD install?
|
| I gave up in the end. I've never found anyone successful with a CD
install.
|
| I modified the original driver file with 4 entries as at:
|
| http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/realmen/msg00044.html
|
| and then I added the standard GUI driver set (.inf, etc.) in the usual way
| you add other CD drivers like sound cards and network cards (in the OEM\$1
| folder).
|
| That worked for me in the end. Pretty easy, actually.
