Default Unattend.txt

Hi Gang,

I am having problems getting a client's Intel DQ35JO installed,
because the board doesn't have an internal floppy connector. I don't
have a USB floppy (although I just ordered one) to easily resolve this
issue and so I'm trying to use Unattend.txt to reference the files I
placed in a custom XP install CD.

My /i386/Unattend.txt contains:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[MassStorageDrivers]
"Intel(R) ICH9 SATA AHCI Controller (Desktop/Server/Workstation)" =
OEM
"Intel(R) ICH8R/ICH9R SATA RAID Controller (Desktop/Server/
Workstation)" = OEM
"Intel(R) ICH9 SATA AHCI Controller (Desktop/Server/Workstation)" =
OEM
"Intel(R) 82801HEM SATA RAID Controller (Mobile ICH8M-E)" = OEM
"Intel(R) 82801HEM/HBM SATA AHCI Controller (Mobile ICH8M-E/M)" = OEM
"Intel(R) ICH8R/ICH9R SATA RAID Controller (Desktop/Server/
Workstation)" = OEM
"Intel(R) 82801HR/HH/HO SATA AHCI Controller (Desktop/Server/
Workstation)" = OEM
"Intel(R) 631xESB/632xESB SATA RAID Controller (Server/Workstation
ESB2)" = OEM
"Intel(R) 631xESB/632xESB SATA AHCI Controller (Server/Workstation
ESB2)" = OEM
"Intel(R) 82801GHM SATA RAID Controller (Mobile ICH7MDH)" = OEM
"Intel(R) 82801GR/GH SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH7R/DH)" = OEM
"Intel(R) 82801GR/GH SATA AHCI Controller (Desktop ICH7R/DH)" = OEM
"Intel(R) 82801GBM SATA AHCI Controller (Mobile ICH7M/DH)" = OEM
"Intel(R) 82801FBM SATA AHCI Controller (Mobile ICH6M)" = OEM
;"IDE CD-ROM (ATAPI 1.2)/PCI IDE Controller" = "RETAIL"

[OEMBootFiles]
iaStor.inf
iaStor.sys
iaStor.cat
IAAHCI.CAT
IAAHCI.INF
Txtsetup.oem
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My /i386/$OEM$/TextSetup contains the following files
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IAAHCI.CAT
IAAHCI.INF
IASTOR.CAT
IASTOR.INF
IASTOR.SYS
license.txt
readme.txt
TXTSETUP.OEM
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is there something I'm doing wrong here?
Does the OEM reference need to have quotes:
"Intel(R) ICH9 SATA AHCI Controller (Desktop/Server/Workstation)" =
"OEM"

instead of the way Intel instructed:

"Intel(R) ICH9 SATA AHCI Controller (Desktop/Server/Workstation)" =
OEM

Do I still have to press F6 when the system is booting?

When I do this right now the installer says it can't see any drives,
even though the BIOS certainly can.

Thanks,
Christian Blackburn
