[BNM] Slipstreaming Drivers into SBS 2003 R2 Premium DVD

[James Bowman]

Hi Sevan,

Thanks for your reply and the link, but as I mentioned in my post, I've
already tried nLite.

I tried the manual route with the $OEM$ folder and editing of the
winnt.sif file etc. but the problem seems to be with actually getting
the install to run at all. I've extracted the boot image from the
original DVD and made the disc bootable which works and gives me a menu
identical to the original DVD. The problem comes after that when the
install freezes at 'Setup is inspecting your computer's hardware
configuration...'

Found out from Dell this morning that only certain USB flash drives work
on their PowerEdge servers. That was along with an apology that their
install disc doesn't yet support the DVD but will do 'in the very near
future'. Thanks Dell.

I'm amazed at how much harder it appears to be to make a slipstreamed
DVD that works as opposed to a CD which I've never had a problem with.


Cheers,

James.
