It's great that the system autoscans for a mass storage driver and puts them in the appropriate places, however i can only seem to get one mass storage driver in at a time. Is it a case of altering textsetup.oem to include mutiple d(n) with each of the relavent info and then a diffrent folder for the actual storage of the files. If someone wanted to be really smart i guess they could make a txtsetup.oem parser and slipstream the relavent files straight into the xp portions of os folder into i386.
It might be an idea to make this more clear on the website, as it is proberbly one of the more complex ones to install by guessing, the website would make you belive you had to follow your earlier post to do it manually, which i supose you have to do to an extent.
I'm proberbly making myself sound stupid here, but a reply would be apreciated.

After an initial false start with this (due to having the wrong mass storage driver for the machine I was trying to install on), I think I have this sussed.
I'm basically taking the drivers/files off the floppy that they come on, and rewriting the txtsetup.oem that each manufacturer provides, splicing the relevant sections into the "master" txtsetup.eom, and putting the files all into the $oem$\textmode directory.
Here's the beginning of my current txtsetup.oem file: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Disks] d1 = "3ware Escalade 7000/8000 Series ATA RAID Controller for Windows 2000/XP/2003", disk1, "" d2 = "Adaptec Embedded Serial ATA HostRAID Driver Ver 2.00 for Windows 2000/XP/2003", hraidsk1, "" d3 = "Promise FastTrak TX4000/S150TX Series Driver Diskette", fasttx2k, "" d4 = "Silicon Image SiI 3x12 SATARaid Driver Installation Disk",Si3112r.sys,"" d5 = "Silicon Image SiI 3x12 SATALink Driver Installation Disk",si3112.sys,""
[Defaults] scsi = ADAPTEC_SATARAID_W2K
[scsi] 3ware = "3ware Escalade 7000/8000 Series ATA RAID Controller" ADAPTEC_SATARAID_W2K = "Adaptec Embedded Serial ATA HostRAID Driver For Windows 2000/XP/2003" FastTrak_TX2K_w2k = "Windows 2000: Promise PDC20319 SATA RAID Controller (FastTrak S150 TX4)", fasttx2k Si3112r_NT = "Silicon Image SiI 3x12 SATARaid Controller for Windows NT 4.0 and 2000" Si3112_NT = "Silicon Image SiI 3x12 SATALink Controller for Windows NT 4.0 and 2000"
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
after that I have the relevant [Files....] [Config.....] [HardwareIds....] sections from the original txtsetup.oem files. One thing you have to be careful not to forget is to change each [Files....] section to use the correct "disk id" as specified in the [Disks] section above. I forgot to change it once (and left it as the original value, which wasn't in the [Disks] section). This cause all kinds of weird, non-google-able errors.
Another problem is if the driver tries to use a .dll or other weird file in its [Files] section. Then you have to 1) remove those lines from the [Files] section, and put them into $oem$\$$\path\under\winnt\directory. You should be able to tell where they go from the [DestinationDirs] portion of the original .inf file for those drivers. As far as I can tell "12" is "$oem$\$$\system32". If anyone else knows a reference for this info, it'd be appreciated.
For completeness, here are all the files in my $oem$\textmode directory: 3WDRV100.SYS 3waregsm.cat txtsetup.oem Si3112r.inf oemsetup.inf disk1 3WFLTDRV.SYS aarich.cat aarich.sys adhraid.cat adhraid.inf adaptec.inf hraidsk1 Fasttx2k.cat fasttx2k.inf fasttx2k.sys fasttx2k Si3112r.mpd Si3112r.sys SIISUPP.VXD SIWinAcc.sys si3112.cat SI3112.inf Si3112.mpd Si3112.sys
Hope this helps, Jordan
