Adding Third Party Storage Controllers to RIS

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



I have been using RIS for a few years now and have only recently come upon
this issue. I have tried to research this specfic problem, but I am not
coming with any workable answers. Here is the ?

I need to add an Intel SATA driver that will recognize the HD during the
initial setup for a Windows XP Pro SP2 image. If I were doing this manually,
I would have the option of pressing F6 to install the driver, however with
RIS I do not. How do I add this driver so that it recognizes the hard drive?

I have scoured the internet and the MS & Intel sites, no luck finding that
one bit of info that will help. I have tried adding the PnP drivers and even
followed the steps on Intel's site for an unattended install, but no avail?
I know I have the correct drivers. I am wondering if placing them in either
$oem$\$1\... folder, or in a similar folder in the \i386\$oem\TEXTMODE
folder and editing the parameters in the ristndrd.sif is not the correct
procedure. Is there another file that I need to edit to have RIS see the
drivers during this initial phase of setup? This is probably a very easy
problem to fix, I am a one man show here and this is driving me nutz! HELP!
PLEASE!
