I believe that you can only get away with disabling smartdrv with W2K I think it has to be there for XP, I had similar problems and we ended up using a couple of command line switches to ease things along - although I was/am installing W2K systems the line we used was
smartdrv.exe /x /u although I also had some success using the latest version from the freedos site, 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. Of course your milage may vary Regards Kevin Lawry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jimmy Aronsson Sent: 03 September 2004 17:01 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Unattended] smartdrv? Hi I am having trouble with the file transfer of the installation files. I am trying to do a "nothing but net" winxp-installation. It all goes fine, the it copies all files to the computer, reboots, fixes filesystem, reboots again... and then.. cdaudio.sys plus a whole lot of other files is missing. I searched in this list and found out that if you disables smartdrv in autoexec.bat it would work, but it would take a little longer to transfer files. Tried this by simply removing the line "smartdrv" in autoexec.bat. But when i did this, the installations hangs when it tries to transfer files, nothing happens. Please help. //Jimmy ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
