Re: [Unattended] File copy fails in second stage of setup
Title: AW: [Unattended] File copy fails in second stage of setup OK - We have success. I did not have smartdrv as part of the download, and my DOS version refused to work - I guess some MS version checking - So I downloaded lbacache-24jul2004.zip from the freedos site, extracted lbacach.com tried that instaead, which worked with no additional switches required. I then renamed it to smartdrv.com so that the autoexec file could be used unmodified (and so I don't forget to make the change at the next update) tested again it still works. I have modified the autoexec to remove the search for the install media, this was stopping my machines proceeding because of 4 USB card readers installed. I have one machine type left to figure out now, it has a faulty PXE stack that crashes the network boots (and always did before as well) and the boot disk reboots everytime it calls tcptsr so I shall have to hand build a boot disk I think :-( Thanks for your help Kevin Lawry - Original Message - From: Thomas Köberlein To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 2004 11:04 PM Subject: AW: [Unattended] File copy fails in second stage of setup Hi,test this please:smartdrv.exe /x /u in autoexec.batThis worked for me.

Re: [Unattended] File copy fails in second stage of setup
Title: AW: [Unattended] File copy fails in second stage of setup Thomas, Thanks for the suggestion, but I have just checked my boot disks I do not have smartdrv on them, I have tried the version from my DOS set which just sits there beeping continuously - can you let me know what version you used. The free dos site was my next port of call, but their smartdrv clone seems to be called something else - I'll try that later Sorry to bother you again Thanks Kevin Lawry - Original Message - From: Thomas Köberlein To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 2004 11:04 PM Subject: AW: [Unattended] File copy fails in second stage of setup Hi,test this please:smartdrv.exe /x /u in autoexec.batThis worked for me.

RE: [Unattended] File copy fails in second stage of setup
I see Thomas had the same sort of problem earlier (I don't keep such a large archive at work - sad huh)so I shall try playing with smartdrive tomorrow - however if anyone has a definative answer I would be very pleased to hear it. It seems that the problem is hardware related, because I have used exactly the same boot disk on a no-name box and it installed fine, but the Gateway machine coughs on it every time. Ideas on what else to try to trouble shoot would be welcome, I have already wasted a day trying to get this one machine to work. On a positive note though, the machines that do boot install properly are working really well, the improvments over version 1.1.1 which I have been using are really good, being able to map machine settings to MAC address has me really excited, I can see great potential for that.
