Hi,
after setting needed drivers to $OEM$\$1\Drivers\..., my system is still asking for drivers.

the funny thing is it has found two options:
(for example)
"C:\Dirvers\009"
"%CD%\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\009"

what can I do to prevent this from happenning?

install the source from the HD the OS will reside on.
Your drivers may be lacking in required files. You should double check your driver package and the entry for it.
Do other drivers install w/o snags or do they all fail?

these two folders contain the same drivers, and there are no missing files (coz it's not failing)

about other drivers I can't tell coz it's on the VM and te only hardware I can get is external...

It didn't install the driver because its not digitally signed. Its better to use WHQL Certified drivers if you want OemPnpDriversPath to work.

If you want to use non-WHQL Certified drivers you must put
following line in your i386\winnt.sif file under [Unattended] section:

DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore

And this is more important, paste in i386\HIVESFT.INF file under [AddReg] section:

HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Driver Signing","Policy",0x00000001,00

I don't understand this. Your asking about unattended installation but you didn't told us what happens in a regular driver installation. Does XP recognize it? what happens if you put the driver in the search path of the driver wizard.
before going unattended I think we should clearly look on what happens with this driver before

Did you delete the existing line

HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Driver Signing",,0x00000010

while adding this one?

HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Driver Signing","Policy",0x00000001,00

If not it might cause a conflict having both lines present............

@ColMaki
A regular, not unattended, installation works fine...

the problem is that the drivers are not automaticly installed, but i'm asked to choose between two sources:
1. the CD ($oem$\dirver)
2. the driver folder on HD, which is a copy of the CD

As far as I can tell you have added an extra backslash "\" before Drivers every time

OemPnPDriversPath="\Drivers\000;\Drivers\001;\Drivers\ATi;\Drivers\002;\Drivers\003;\Drivers\004;\Drivers\005;\Drivers\006;\Drivers\007;\Drivers\008;\Drivers\009"

Remove the extra backslashes. It should look like this instead:

"\Drivers\000;Drivers\001;Drivers\ATi;Drivers\002;Drivers\003;Drivers\004;Drivers\005;Drivers\006;Drivers\007;Drivers\008;Drivers\009"

Here is mine working line

OemPnPDriversPath = "Windows\Temp\Drivers\VIA\;Windows\Temp\Drivers\Cpu\;Windows\Temp\Drivers\Monitor\"

So you need to put directories (Cpu,Monitor,Display) on cd in:
$OEM$\$$\Temp\Drivers\ for it to work.
