HAL.DLL
In order for any AGP video graphics cards to be detected and installed successfully, HAL.DLL
needs to be copied from Windows NT Workstation Service Pack 3 to the
\\servername\sharename\I386 directory. The HAL.DL_ file that currently resides in the
\\servername\sharename\I386 directory should either be renamed (e.g., HAL.OLD) or deleted to
avoid any conflicts during installation.
UPDATE.INF
Since the Service Pack is installed after the operating system, it over-writes some of the SoftPAQ
files that are installed during operating system installation. Some changes need to be made to the
UPDATE.INF file that resides in the \I386 folder of the Service Pack. All references to the
following need to be commented out.
AIC78xx.SYS
AIC78xx.SYS = 1
ATI.DLL
ATI.DLL = 1
ATI.SYS
ATI.SYS = 1
NETFLX3.SYS
NETFLX3.SYS = 1
For example, change:
AIC78xx.SYS
to:
;AIC78xx.SYS
Machine-Specific Information
There are no machine-specific items to configure for Windows NT Workstation 4.0.
Integrating Video Drivers
To install third-party display drivers needed during unattended installation, populate the [Display]
section of the UNATTEND.TXT file with the information provided below for the selected video
cards. Using the InstallDriver, InfFile and InfOption variables will only work with video cards
that can be detected by the operating system during setup. For video cards that are not detectable,
refer to the Guide to Automating Windows NT Setup and the Deployment Guide found on the
Microsoft web site. The [DisplayDrivers] section is used to install the Standard VGA option if all
of the other drivers fail. Following is an example of the [Display] section:
[Display]
BitsPerPel = 8
XResolution = 640
YResolution = 480
VRefresh = 60
AutoConfirm = 1
InstallDriver=1
InfFile = "S3VIRGE.INF"
InfOption = "S3 Incorporated Display Driver v3.25.22 Engineering Release"
