Anyone gotten RAID driver to work with WINNT.SIF ?

I've been reading all the old posts about how to install the FastTrak RAID
driver during an unattended scripted (winnt.sif) installation of any version
of Windows. I can't find anyone who actually did it, although some
references were made to success. Could someone please post how? I know
how to burn a bootable CD with other drivers, but this is my first time
trying to do it with the initial RAID driver (which is different, as you
know).
 
Installing Mass Storage Drivers unattended on a bootable CD doesn't work.
You have to modify the setup files to include the driver so it acts as
though it is a inbox driver. We don't provide instructions for this due to
setup was not designed to work in this manner and the complexity of
rewriting these files

| Thanks for the reply. But did you get this to work with a CD install?
|
| I gave up in the end. I've never found anyone successful with a CD
install.
|
| I modified the original driver file with 4 entries as at:
|
| http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/realmen/msg00044.html
|
| and then I added the standard GUI driver set (.inf, etc.) in the usual way
| you add other CD drivers like sound cards and network cards (in the OEM\$1
| folder).
|
| That worked for me in the end. Pretty easy, actually.
