Thank you ?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />GaryS,

I modified my unattend.txt file. I also :?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

- changed the driver which was not adapted to the server

- modified the txtsetup.sif file of under repertory I386 of Windows, I added in [SCSI] at the head of line this following line

percsas = "DELL PERC5 and PERC6/CERC6 RAID Controller Driver (Server 2003 32 bit)"

this line is a copy from txtsetup.oem who is located in the server driver.

Windows Server 2003 installation with unattend.txt run now.
