Question : Remote Installation Services Toshiba A200 Intel SATA Controller cannot detect hard disk

Hi,
Can anyone help with the rollout of a RIS image from Windows 2003 Server to multiple Toshiba A200 notebooks. These machines have the Intel 82801/HEM SATA adaptor and a Realtek NIC. I have managed to sort driver issues out with the NICs by adding the usual $OEM$ folder structure, but whatever I do I cannot get RIS to deploy the image without the annoying "Windows did not detect any hard disk drives" error. I have added Intel drivers (extracted to a floppy 1st), and copied as per the NICS into the same file structure ($OEM$ etc) editied the .sif fle but cannot get this to work. Am I missing something blatant here? Toshiba post drivers for this on a german website (referred to in their support forums) which doesn't stay up long enough to download from. Other posts elsewhere regarding the same controller (particularly Dell owners) suggest a change in the BIOS to get this working, but the Toshiba BIOS has nothing that can be manipulated regarding the SATA controller.

Any help gratefully appreciated...

You could try slipstreaming the drivers into the drivers database: http://www.nliteos.com/
