I have never tried this, although I believe it should work in theory.
But I do not know of anybody else who has tried it.

First, lets make sure Unattended is doing its job.  I assume
install.pl correctly offers you the two OEM drivers?

It does offer them both.

Could you send along the [MassStorageDrivers] and [OEMBootFiles]
sections of the generated unattend.txt?

Ok here they are:
[MassStorageDrivers]
Adaptec Embedded Serial ATA HostRAID Driver For Windows 2000/XP/2003 = OEM

; See comments for [MassStorageDrivers]
[OEMBootFiles]
txtsetup.oem
aarich.cat
aarich.sys
adhraid.inf
readme.txt
3waregsm.cat
adhraid.cat
oemsetup.inf
disk1
3wdrv100.sys
hraidsk1
3wfltdrv.sys
adaptec.inf

Or, as an alternative, you could eliminate the d2 declaration from
[Disks] entirely and use d1 instead of d2 in
[Files.scsi.ADAPTEC_SATARAID_W2K].  This is arguably a better plan,
since what you are really doing is creating a single disk with
multiple drivers on it...
I will give this a shot too.

No good.

Hi,

maybe I got this all wrong, so please bear with me!!
I just read the above mail in the daily digest. I once had a FastTrack-Controller.

just as a thought: I have had a Promise FastTrack 100-Controller and it would not work with the standard Windows-Drivers. When installing manually, you had to press F6 during the boot process and add the drivers disk in order to have access to the disks. I don't remember Promise being bought by someone (like Adaptec), so I assume the drivers are still from fasttrack and are still called FASTTRAK.xyz.
IMHO you are trying the wrong drivers here.

I've just checked their website and downloaded the (FastTrack 100-)Drivers and there ist an txtsetup.oem that lists the drivers.

Maybe it helps. Sorry if this is way off. I'm not sure I should have written it myself... ;-)

cheers

Well, it's possible, but I downloaded these drivers from Intel's 
website, so I expect they'd be correct.  I haven't actually tried 
installing with the floppy version though.

I tried installing from CD with the floppy.  Doesn't find any hard disks.

Woops.  Yep, there are indeed some Promise drivers on Intel's page.

I'll give it a go with the other disks, and try to get the unattended 
thinger to work /after/ getting the normal floppy to work.

*sigh*

Thanks, Wolf. :)

 [Disks]

 d2   = Adaptec Embedded Serial ATA HostRAID Driver Ver 2.00 for
 Windows 2000/XP/2003, \disk1, 

I am not sure it is a good idea to use the same tag file (\disk1) for
both of these disks.  You might try changing the second one to
\disk2.

Although since neither of those files really exist (do they?), I am
not sure this will help.

 [Files.scsi.3ware]
 driver  = d1, 3wDrv100.sys, 3wDrv100
 driver  = d1, 3wFltDrv.sys, 3wFltDrv
 inf = d1, oemsetup.inf

[snip]

 [Files.scsi.ADAPTEC_SATARAID_W2K]

I manually added a [MassStorageDrivers] and [OEMBootFiles] section to 
the unattend.txt that is in my site directory.

I hadn't realized that install.pl would scan them and create those 
sections.  Let me try removing them and get back to you.

[Disks]

2000/XP/2003, \disk1,

Yes, that file exists (it's the one from the 3ware disk, actually) and 
just has some human-readable info about the disk.

I have also tried it with two entries, using \disk1 and \hraidsk1 (which 
came on the Adaptec disk).  No dice.

[Files.scsi.3ware]
driver  = d1, 3wDrv100.sys, 3wDrv100
driver  = d1, 3wFltDrv.sys, 3wFltDrv
inf = d1, oemsetup.inf
catalog = d1, 3waregsm.cat


[snip]


[Files.scsi.ADAPTEC_SATARAID_W2K]
driver  = d2,aarich.sys, aarich
inf = d2,adaptec.inf
inf = d2,adhraid.inf
catalog = d2,aarich.cat
