Subject: [Unattended] NIC driver issues with Del D800 and GX520
Hello all,
I have run into the following problem with Unattended installations of
WinXP Pro + a lot of applications on Dell Latitude D800 and Optiplex
GX520:
Both types have an integrated NIC, and the WinXP driver does not seem to
be Plug-and-Play, but requires to be installed by running a setup
program. As a result the computer does not get added to our domain, and
the post installation scripts fails to mount the Unattended installation
source drive.
I take it that you ran the executable and placed the extracted files in
\i386\$OEM$\$1\D. The .cat, .inf and .sys are under the WinXP folder. Just
cancel the installer application.
Yes, I did that, and selected the drivers when the install script asked
about which drivers to install. This was not enough for the NIC driver
though, see below.
My question is: How do I modify the setup configuration scripts to get
the NIC driver installed as early as possible, ie before the attempt to
mount \\ntinstall\install after the first logon to XP? The same thing
goes for the chipset driver, that also should be installed early, before
other drivers and apps.
The executable extracts the needed files. This is a little bit different
though. You need to place the .inf files in \i386\$OEM$\$$\INF, and all the
files in i386\$OEM$\$1\D\IntelINF. Check out the readme that gets extracted.

Thank you!, it worked beautifully. The NIC driver (integrated Broadcom
57xx Gigabit series) was also installed after I copied the .inf file to
\i386\$OEM$\$$\INF.
