im using Autopatcher by the guys over at <<spam>> and it has and option to add custom files for silent install do any of you know the switches for the intel chipset drivers and iaa if so please list them thanks

i will also be working on my own unattended cd soon ill keep y'all posted on that

[dahak]

Intel's is pretty good at telling you the switched needed in the readme.txt that is provided with there pakages.

For there intel chipset the switch is a follows
INFINST_ENU.EXE -S -L0009

and i would assume its is the same for there iaa software too... but check their readme.txt to be sure

[larciel]

that switch didn't work for me.

[ahmedramzi]

view the readme file of the IAA & INFINST applications..
you'll find that you'll need only the -S parameter
ex: setup.exe -S

that's it.

surprisingly the ms drivers are faster than intels .. to enable udma66 and higher on intel chipsets use this..

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96A-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0000]
"EnableUDMA66"=dword:00000001

[Alanoll]

how much faster?

how can you enable ATA133?

[Numinous]

the regkey works for udma66 and above

I think that the best way to install intel inf & intel application accelerator is to copy only the drivers to the $OEM folder & edit the WINNT.SIF file..

it's a little bit more complicated than using a switch, but better, coz all the drivers will be identified prior to the batch installation process. also it solves the problem of installing the cd on machines that doesn't use those two applications..

if you need more explaination, just ask.

CPU-Z is a handy tool to find out the ICH version of your mobo (Mainboard tab > Model). For example if its ICH5, then you would take out the ICH5 folder the extracted Intel chipset drivers, and add this to your $OEM$ drivers folder.

here's a part of the readme file of the Intel Inf Install:

Quote

************************************************************
* 8C.  INSTALLING THE WINDOWS* XP INF FILES PRIOR TO
*      OS INSTALLATION
************************************************************
1.  Create the following directory structure under the
    <WINXP Setup Directory>:

       \$OEM$\$$\INF

2.  Copy the Windows* XP INF files from
    <INF Extract Directory>\XXXX\WinXP to the directory
    created in Step 1 above:

       <WINXP Setup Directory>\$OEM$\$$\INF

    Note: XXXX is the directory name for the chipset of
          interest.  See Section 8 for more details.

3.  Create the following directory structure under the
    <WINXP Setup Directory>:

       \$OEM$\$1\drivers\IntelINF

4.  Copy the Windows* XP INF files AND the catalog files
    (.CAT) from <INF Extract Directory>\XXXX\WinXP to the
    directory created in Step 4 above:

       <WINXP Setup Directory>\$OEM$\$1\drivers\IntelINF

    Note: XXXX is the directory name for the chipset of
          interest.  See Section 8 for more details.

5.  Either modify the default Windows* XP installation
    answer file, UNATTEND.TXT, located in <WINXP Setup
    Directory>, or create a customized answer file.  The
    answer file must include the following information:
  
       [Unattended]       OemPreinstall = Yes

and the following is a part of the IAA readme:

Quote

Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows XP:

  // Insert the lines below into the UNATTEND.TXT file
 
  [MassStorageDrivers]  "Intel® 82801BA Ultra ATA Controller" = OEM
  "Primary IDE Channel" = OEM
  "Secondary IDE Channel" = OEM

  [OEMBootFiles]
  idechndr.inf
  IdeBusDr.sys
  IdeChnDr.sys
  Txtsetup.oem

The IprtCnst.dll file must be placed in the following
folder in your directory structure in order to be loaded
during driver installation:

C:\I386\$Oem$\$$\System32

Though i have no idea where shall I put the idechndr.inf, IdeBusDr.sys, IdeChnDr.sys! (the IAA section)

sorry Aaron, but what do you mean?

[Aaron]

oh, just a joke. I've never had to use IDE Controller drivers on any of my PCs, just kinda lucky I never ran into one that needs them on pre-setup stages.

[ahmedramzi]

but I think it's a good idea to do that, instead of install the whole IAA application on RunonceEX..
don't you agree with me?

[Aaron]

If Intel recommends it, then yeah (the IAA doesn't apply for my intel chipset though)

[ahmedramzi]

do you know where shall I put the idechndr.inf, IdeBusDr.sys, IdeChnDr.sys files? they didn't mention that in the readme file!!!!!

[ahmedramzi]

anybody?

I have created an unattended XP cd already with the Intel Chipset drivers added using the "installing the INF files prior to OS installation" method.

I am updating my cd now because it is a little outdated (drivers and program versions) and new methods have been discovered which allow me to minimize the installation iso file size (thanks jdeboeck).

I also wanted to update my Intel Chipset drivers. The first time I did my CD I extracted the infs to C:\Program Files\Intel\InfInst (with the ICHx sub folders below) and copied ALL of the ICHx XP files. So now if I understand it correctly, I should only copy the ICH\XP folder?

    <INF Extract Directory>\XXXX\WinXP to the directory
    created in Step 1 above:

    <WINXP Setup Directory>\$OEM$\$$\INF

          interest.  See Section 8 for more details.

I am at home now (the computer I am creating this for is in my dorm room), so I am not 100% sure of the chipset, but from the asus site (I have a P4P800 Deluxe) it says

Quote

ICH5R with Integrated SATA and RAID 0,1
Intel is the world's first chipset maker to integrate Serial ATA (SATA) and RAID 0, 1 functions into the South Bridge.

.

So to ask again, take ICH5\XP\ and copy the INF files to $OEM$\$$\INF and then copy the INF and CAT files to Drivers\Intel???

This is probably basic to most of you, but I just want to be sure.

Thanks

No, copy all the files inside ICH5\XP\ to C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\intel_folder\
