Installing SATA Drivers on HP Notebook PCs - White Paper

2) Obtain the SATA Device ID as described in the section “How to Obtain SATA Device

IDs” of this document and insert them where [SATA Device ID] is seen below. Add

the following section to your c:\sysprep\sysprep.inf file:

[SysprepMassStorage]

[SATA Device ID] = %systemdrive%\drivers\sata\iaahci.inf ; [optional description]

[SATA Device ID]= %systemdrive%\drivers\sata\iastor.inf ; [optional description]

Please note that each line to be added starts with PCI\. These lines are continued over to

a second row in this paper due to space limitations. In addition, the text displayed after

the semicolon (;) is an example of optional text that can be used to identify which SATA

Device ID is being inserted. This is entirely optional text which can be modified or

completely removed at the customer’s discretion.

3) Add or edit the following section of sysprep.inf to add the SATA drivers to the PnP

drivers path.

[Unattended]

OemSkipEula=Yes

OemPnPDriversPath=drivers\sata;<your driver list will come here>

ConfirmHardware=No

OverwriteOemFilesOnupgrade=No

DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore

oempreinstall=yes

updateInstalledDrivers=Yes

At this point, the Windows installation is ready for deployment. Run Sysprep on the updated

OS, capture an image, and deploy the image to systems using SATA hardware set to the

default AHCI SATA Native mode.
