I've seen this issue before... I didn't take a look at your driver dist to see if it's the same issue, but it may well be.For some reason, the unattended will simply not detect the network driver which renders the whole process useless.
The .inf and .sys files etc are placed in the usual correct folders and are
even copied correctly to the PC into the Drivers folder.
When unattended gives you a list of driver directories, does it include the EXACT one that you need to use, or does it include the parent? It's default behavior is to mask the presence of driver directories (directories with .inf files in them, basically) below a parent that also has a .inf file.
One of the driver distributions that I was using had an OEMSETUP.INF file in the root of the driver dist, which was for NT4. Unattended saw that top level .INF file and only gave me the parent directory as an option to be added to the drivers path. Windows 2000 properly ignored the drivers pointed to by that top level .INF file, and my stuff magically didn't work.
What I had to do to fix it was delete some things out of my driver dist -- mainly, any top level .INF files above the ACTUAL spot where the driver that I needed was. This made unattended give me the child directories as options to be added to the drivers path, and after I selected the right one, allowed it to work.
Hope that makes sense...
Just make sure that the directory that you are browsing to in order to install the driver is the SAME as the one you picked in the early Unattended install for the driver paths.Once Windows XP Pro has loaded if I go into Device Manager and then update the driver manually by browsing to the very directory that has already been copied to the drivers directorty on the pc, it installs fine ????
Good luck...
