BuildMasStorageSection = Yes

[SaiTech]

HI,

 

I just wounder if you add something in the [sysprepMassStorage] section , what will you have in the [sysprep] section

 

sysprep.inf

[sysprep]

BuildMasStorageSection = Yes ;Or shall it be blank

 

[sysprepMassStorage]

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2652&CC_0106=C:\Drivers\IntelSATA\iaahci.inf

hi,

 

according to here its defined by what is in the Syprep section

 

[sysprep]

Automatically generates the entries in the [sysprepMassStorage] section.

[sysprepMassStorage]

Allows you to use the same image on computers with different mass-storage devices.

 

and

 

Sysprep parameters

You can use the following optional parameters with the Sysprep command in Windows XP:

• -bmsd - Populates all the available mass storage devices in the [sysprepMassStorage] section.

• -clean - Clears the critical devices database that is used by the [sysprepMassStorage] section in the Sysprep.inf file.

 

does that help ?

Thanks AnyWeb, but...

 

What I found out when I read about it the [sysprep] section is just for Auto update the [sysprepMassStorage] Section.

And if you manualy update the [sysprepMassStorage], I think the [sysprep] section will be blank...

Adding mass storage drivers to Windows XP for sysprep (imaging)

odify sysprep.inf to look like this . Since we manually update sysprep.inf, do not add BuildMassStorageSection = Yes to the [sysprep] section

 

[sysprep]

 

[sysprepMassStorage]

; Added for Intel SATA Controller Support

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2652&CC_0106=C:\Drivers\IntelSATA\iaahci.inf

 

!!! But then I read on Ben Hunter web

2. Update the BuildMassStorageSection entry in the [sysprep] section to equal YES.

 

3. Update the [sysprepMassStorage] section to specify each PnP ID and it's corresponding INF file.

 

Note This will require translating the information gathered from the INF files into the sysprep.inf format.

 

For example, the ExcludeFromSelect=PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_282A&CC_0104 gathered from the IASTOR.INF file would translate to PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_282A&CC_0104="C:\DRIVERS\IASTOR\IASTOR.INF".

 

The following excerpt provides an example of the updated sysprep.inf file.

 

[sysprep]

BuildMassStorageSection = YES

 

[sysprepMassStorage]

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2652&CC_0106="C:\DRIVERS\IASTOR\IAAHCI.INF"

 

 

Humm...........

 

Have I missunderstand something, or is Ben talk about something differant...

Ben is talking about manually editing a sysprep.inf file in a light touch installation (LTI) of Windows XP using BDD 2007 (Business Desktop Deployment), so this may be different to what you require,

 

what are you trying to do exactly and how ?
