I have successfully created a bootable CD-Rom with SP1a
and all of the udpated drivers for the various PC's that
this has to be installed on.
However 2 of the PC's have Abit motherboards with
Highpoint Raid drivers and the installation disks reside
on these controllers.
I want to avoid having to press F6 during the install
process and have been trying to automatically load the
drivers during the text load.
I have created a $OEM$\Texmode subdirectory off of the
top level of the CD and have made the following changes
to the winnt.sif file.

However when I use this structure I get the following
error twice during the install process
File txtsetup.oem caused an unexpected error (18) at
line 1742 in d:\xpsp1\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c
acknowledging these allows the install to continue to the
point where it starts windows then I g et the error
The manufacturer provided file that Setup is trying
to use is corrupted or invalid
Line 1 contains a system error.
Setup cannot continue. To quit Setup, press F3.
If I remove the [MassStorageDrivers] and [OEMBootFiles]
sections the the install works fine, except that I can't
see the disks onto which I want to install XP as they are
on the Highpoint controller which has not been loaded.
Any help would be gratefully received as I have been
tearing my hair out over this.
My txtsetup.oem file follows, but if I put the contects
of the textmode subdirectory onto a floppy and press F6
it works.
