Windows PE XP2 SmartStart

R

Richie Rich

I am trying to boot a HP DL380 into Windows PE via RIS. It has a HP
NC7781 nic, which I think is a remasked Broadcom.

I have downloaded the SmartStart Toolkit. I added a new flat image of
XP (Slipstreamed SP2) into existing RIS Server.
I ran the hp_winpe_customize.cmd which includes a driver install for
q57xp32 (The NC7781) nic.
It executes the line %WinPEBuildToolsDir%\drvinst.exe /q
/inf:%HPDriversDir%\q57xp32 %WinPEDestDir%
successfully.

These all succeed, I review the command line window. I then manually
copy the i386 WinPE right into the XPSP2 image I added to RIS,
overwriting everything.

I even go as far as creating a $OEM$\1\Drivers\Nic and dumping the NIC
Drivers there. I put the NIC inf into i386\inf, sys into drivers. I
dump the nic driver (all the files) into i386
I edit the ristndrd.SIF and put this in [Unattended]

DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
OemPreinstall = yes
OemPnPDriversPath=\Drivers\Nic

Am I missing something? WINPE says it cannot find the necessary
network drivers. I've deleted PNF's recycled box.
Please help!!!

It looks like it is the RIS process and not Windows PE complaining
about the drivers..
