SCSI Hard Drive & SIF files W2k3EN

Hello:

I am trying to use my standard SIF file with a virtual SCSI drive. The setup
seems to just miss the SIF file. Is there a needed entry for the emulated SCSI
hardware?

Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks.

Assuming that I understand your question correctly where you are trying to
add mass storage drivers to the unattended answer file, then you need to
following:

[MassStorageDrivers]
"(Windows Server 2003) Additions Accelerated SCSI Driver" = "OEM"
"IDE CD-ROM (ATAPI 1.2)/PCI IDE Controller" = "RETAIL"

[OEMBootFiles]
msvmscsi.inf
msvmscsi.sys
vmadd_msvmscsi_sys.cat
txtsetup.oem

You will also need to edit the txtsetup.oem file. The edit is:

[Disks]

d1 = "Microsoft VM Accelerated Additions Driver Disk", msvmscsi, ""
d3 = "Microsoft VM Accelerated Additions Driver Disk (Windows 2000)",
msvmscsi, ""
d4 = "Microsoft VM Accelerated Additions Driver Disk (Windows XP)",
msvmscsi, ""
d5 = "Microsoft VM Accelerated Additions Driver Disk (Windows Server 2003)",
msvmscsi, ""

From there, just put the msvmscsi.inf, msvmscsi.sys, vmadd_msvmscsi_sys.cat,
and txtsetup.oem from the windows 2003 folder in the shunt virtual floppy in
the textmode folder of your W2K3 distribution.
