I need to use some mass storage drivers that are not
natively supported in WinXP, I've read and re-read the
help files but the information is not directly answering
my question. How do I prepopulate the mass storage section
of Sysprep.inf with drivers that are not part of windows?
Thanks for any help
 
John,

Is this the text you have been looking at in the deploy.chm? What you put
in really depends on the inf for the device. If you can post a link to the
file we can give you some hints on what to put in the sysprep.inf

Sample
This sample demonstrates one use of the [SysprepMassStorage] section of
Sysprep.inf.

[SysprepMassStorage]
PCI\VEN_1077&DEV_1080 = "C:\Sysprep\qlogic\qlogic.inf", "\nt", "Qlogic
Software Disk", "\qlogic"

hardware_id
Specifies the Plug and Play ID for the device as specified in the device’s
.inf file.

Syntax hardware_id = path_to_device_inf[, disk_directory[,
disk_description[, disk_tag]]]
Values path_to_device_inf
Specifies the path to the .inf file that contains the Plug and Play ID of
the controller to install. Enclose path_to_device_inf in quotation marks if
it is a long file name.

disk_directory
Specifies the name of the directory on the floppy disk provided by the
third party that contains the copy of the mass-storage driver.

disk_description
Specifies the description of the floppy disk as specified in the
Txtsetup.oem file provided by the third party.

disk_tag
Specifies the disk tag of the floppy disk as specified in the Txtsetup.oem
file provided by the third party.

Example To support a new Qlogic driver, copy the qlogic.inf file to the
Sysprep folder and include the following section in the Sysprep.inf file:
[SysprepMassStorage]
PCI\VEN_1077&DEV_1080 = "C:\Sysprep\qlogic\qlogic.inf", "\nt", "Qlogic
Software Disk", "\qlogic"
