Thanks for updating! Didn't thought you were still running that old version! Indeed, it really works like a charm (now but if you just bought the app for testing you could have asked the guy who sent you a PM about Tapatalk

Since the last edit of my post i've optimized this way and i'll post a new topic with better instructions soon! I'll add the link to the new post here.

This HDD failed last week, it's not deteced by the BIOS and its inaccessible by Windows, DOS and Linux. Need to send it to Seagate.

thanks for the updates everybody. i'll update the initial post in the next days.

Thanks Dougal4263, i'll try this with my XP Pro x86 later. I had the same issue and got my own solution. I can't access my data storage now but afaik i just copied the driver files and the executables onto the CD and told windows to just copy them to the harddisc while setup runs. Then, when windows installs the hardware, the inf file from the hdd is used which then executes the NvCplSetup.exe. There is still a tiny problem (you need a PS/2 keyboard to solve it), the driver files wants to copy the NvCplSetup.exe from its current location to its current location, thats cause of [DestinationDirs] nv_controlpanel_copyfiles = 01, i didn't fixed the problem yet but i guess removing this line will help.
