How to do unattended install of AHCI/RAID driver on Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003*

The unattended method of installation is available for Microsoft Windows XP*, Windows 2000* and Windows Server 2003*. It is used to install the RAID or AHCI driver, as outlined in the Microsoft document Deployment Guide Automating Windows NT* Setup.

Perform the following steps in order to install the RAID or AHCI driver via unattended install.

1. Extract the IAAHCI.INF, IAAHCI.CAT, IASTOR.INF, IASTOR.CAT, IASTOR.SYS, and TXTSETUP.OEM files from the setup files.
   
   To extract these files, run the executable (e.g. IATA50_ENU.EXE for Intel® Matrix Storage Manager version 5.0) with the following command line options: -A -A -PC:\<path>, as described in the Advanced Installation Instructions section of the README.TXT.
   
   Does the system contain a 32-bit or 64-bit processor?  
   • If the system has a 32-bit processor, the files will be located in the Drivers folder after extraction.  
   • If the system has a 64-bit processor, the files will be located in the Drivers64 folder after extraction.
   
   
2. Insert the lines shown below, as applicable, into the UNATTEND.TXT file:
