SYSPREP and RAID controler
- Dear all,
I am ready to SYSPREP a system wich as 2 500GB hard disk mounted as RAID 1 with an OEM RAID controler.
The question I have is :
Does sysprep image file will contains my RAID controlers in order that they gets properly loaded on PC reboot and find properly hard drive ?
If no, how can I tell sysprep to load those drivers at PC reboots in order that partiion gets propely created as it was before running sysprep ?
Do I have to hnadle them as OEM driver in my untatended file ?
If yes, at which install phase they will be loaded as Hard disk needs to be seen at the begining in order to create partition ?
Thnaks for help

well, if it's the same hardware for server 2008, you will have no problems with the raid controller when you sysprep /generalize /oobe the server. It appears that you are doing a media installation, so network driver becomes less critical.

- What OS are you going to use? Is this image going to be just for this machine, or do you want it deployed to other machines?
- I am using Server 2008
This image will be deploy on single similar machine with exact same hardware BUT not in automatic mode throug network.
We are selling those machine as OEM so we pepare one and all the others have extacly the same hardware configuration. the Imagine will be distributed to DVD and install from that media .
