On a related note: I've found that a USB headset can really come in handy
when the drivers for the internal sound card aren't installed. I'm no
Windows expert, my department has somebody else for that, but if sound is
not configured on a machine, I've found that plugging a USB headset usually
works. I have a CD that starts nvda automatically or I can use a USB thumb
drive to start it. This combo of a USB headset and nvda hasn't failed me
yet (knock on wood).

Hi again everybody, since my post on this subject yesterday I've incorporated drivers using NLite and have further tweaked the winnt.sif. I've pasted below the first part of the current version of my winnt.sif. Could someone in the know have a look at it please and let me know if it looks ok? I've noticed that since incorporating the drivers a couple of lines have been inserted. As I'm not an NLite guru I may have missed out something, or selected something I shouldn't have. As I said in my last post I need to make sure it will only format the c partition, and not the d partition. On the subject of drivers there were two options, text mode and regular pnp. I set it to regular pnp. Was that right? How would I know which to choose? My next question, given that the winnt.sif is ok is arguably, for a blind person the most important, regarding a working sound device, one that will work as soon as windows installs. Although I can incorporate drivers with NLite a lot, if not all sound cards require you to run a setup before the sound card will work. Does anyone know of either a way I can incorporate the setup for my sound card in my winnt.sif, or alternatively know of a sound card, preferably a usb one, that windows xp pro will recognize automatically, or one that only requires a driver. Sorry about all the questions, but I really want to get this unattended thing cracked. All help will be greatly appreciated, John. ;SetupMgrTag [Data] autoPartition=1 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes"
