[MassStorageDrivers]
The [MassStorageDrivers] section contains an entry for loading retail or original equipment manufacturer (OEM) small computer system interface (SCSI) drivers in the Setup Loader during the intermediate (text-mode) stage of Setup. If this section is missing or empty, Setup attempts to detect the SCSI devices on the computer and install the corresponding retail drivers.
Syntax
mass_storage_driver_description = Retail | OEM
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
mass_storage_driver_description |
Must match one of the strings defined in the right side of the [SCSI] section of TxtSetup.sif for a retail driver, or TxtSetup.oem for an OEM driver. You can specify multiple instances of mass_storage_driver_description. |
Retail |
Indicates that the driver is part of the retail Microsoft Windows product. |
OEM |
Indicates that the driver is OEM-supplied. If the value is OEM, you must also list the driver in the [OEMBootFiles] section of the answer file. |
Example
[MassStorageDrivers]
MyDriver1 = OEM
Comments
Add driver entries only to the [MassStorageDrivers] and [OEMBootFiles] sections for bootable mass-storage devices. Do not include secondary mass-storage devices. Instead, add the drivers for secondary mass-storage devices to the folder specified by the OemPnPDriversPath entry in your unattended installation answer file. Including drivers for non-bootable mass-storage devices in the [MassStorageDrivers] or [OEMBootFiles] sections causes an error during the setup process.
