I think there is also a "rule" that there should not be more then 5 folders behind one path ??
We had problems with some driverfolder, too. But we solved it in renaming the folders to a shorter name and it works. Did renaming work for you ?

Anyway another thing to check is that your main unattended.txt that comes with the distribution and which you should not edit, found in \install\lib dir includes the line: [Unattended] OemPreinstall=Yes And from another discussion earlier this year where someone had a similar problem: > [Unattended] > OemPnPDriversPath = "audio\RealtekALC850;misc\SMBus;net\WinXP;net\test" Yes, there is the mistake: the directory names must not exceed 8 characters in length. Shorten "RealtekALC850" to "rtalc850" and try again. Additionally you should lower-case directory/filenames. (from Niels S. Richthof). After that I'm out of ideas, using unattended 4.6 my drivers have always copied wonderfully as long as I just have the correct .inf (or .inf and .cab) files. br, Artturi Artturi Kyrömies wrote: > Also remember, from the adding drivers part of the step-by-step guide: > > *Note*: The total absolute length of any file name, including the > leading |\os\...\$oem$| portion, must not exceed 64 characters or > winnt.exe will get an error when it tries to copy the file. > > So if you'd have > \\server\something\unattended\install\os\xpsp2\I386\$oem$\$1\DELL\network...already > far too long and copying the drivers would fail. > > br, > Artturi > > Scott Parrill wrote: > >> I created a directory like $oem$/$1/DELL/rxxxxxx, where rxxxxxx is >> the DELL file number for the drivers.
