Hi

Pat, when is the mailing list going to be updated on the sourceforge site do
you know.

I didn't seem to receive a response on this so I thought I would ask the
list again.

I am trying to install Windows 2000 SP4 unnattended on my new machines at
work. I have used the unattended plenty of times in the passed two years
without too many problems but this one has me stumped.

I thought it was purely a chipset or motherboard issue but it isn;t as I
have now replicated the problem on another motherboard.

Ok, the situation,

Installing Windows 2000 SP4 with following drivers: chipset, video, audio
and network.

The chipset drivers are now installing correctly but the video drivers still
cause the machines to lock up.

I have created a $OEM$\$1\drivers\video dir etc as per usual

* By the way, the way I know that the video driver is the problem is that if
I choose not to install them, the installation continues as normal.

What happens is this, Windows 2000 starts copying files etc, then the
machines reboots , converts to ntfs etc, reboots etc etc install windows
starts to install plug and play drivers.....when the blue installation line
reaches the end of the screen, instead of starting to install the networking
components, the machines simply freeze..

I am starting to think that maybe my windows 2000 files have become corrupt,
it is so frustrating as this has never happended before.

By the way I have tried by the Asus OEM driver and the latest NVIDIA drivers
as the cards I have tried it on have been ASUS Geoforce 5700 and ASUS 9520 I
think...

Another thing, which is totally weird is that if I choose not to install the
video drivers, which I have been doing, (no other choice) the unattended
stops after installing IE6.....weird I know...If I then manually reboot the
unattended will continue on.

Sorry for the lengthy email, does anyone have any ideas....will be much
appreciated..

Thanks
