OK .. I've read all about Matrox .. and fixed my mtxpar.inf file ... modified MtxSetup.ini with 'silent' settings .. pointing to my G550.inf and copied MtxSetup.ini to Setup.ini Server2008 installs the 'Standard VGA' drivers. But if I go into Device-Manager and delete it .. and reboot, the Matrox G550 drivers get loaded. How do I get the unattended install to use the correct matrox drivers first???? some background .. I extracted the matrox files ... modified them .. then used Ryan's VistaTool to load the drivers. Looks like the drivers aren't certificated correctly???????? Here's a clip of the 'setupapi.dev.log' from Windows subdirectory: inf: Opened INF: 'C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\g550.inf_36518b80\g550.inf' ([strings] <src=drvstore>) inf: Saved PNF: 'C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\g550.inf_36518b80\g550.PNF' (Language = 0409) sig: {_VERIFY_FILE_SIGNATURE} 21:03:58.109 sig: Key = g550.inf sig: FilePath = C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\g550.inf_36518b80\g550.inf sig: Catalog = C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\g550.inf_36518b80\G550.cat ! sig: Verifying file against specific (valid) catalog failed!

If you specify a product key in the windowsPE configuration pass with ProductKey, then Windows welcome will prompt for a product key. If you specify the ProductKey setting during the specialize pass, then Windows Welcome will not prompt for a product key. So .. I use the 'Specialize' pass ... but you still need a valid ProductKey .. or it will reject. (That's what I know)

Don't forget to rename 'bootmgr' to 'ntldr'.

I've searched .. couldn't find much info .... I want to partition a harddrive into 2 partitions (C: and D:) ... copy Vista install files to D: .. make it active .. then boot and have Vista install to the C: partition. Is that possible? What do I need to have on the D: parition? Vista install files ... WinPE?? Thanks!
