Problem with installing video driver during unattended, automated setup on PowerEdge 600sc

My unattended script works except for video driver installation. I am using a network boot disk to connect to a distribution server. The distribution point is mapped as I:\386. $OEM$ files are under a directory at the same level called Dell. In the script, OEMFilesPath is set to I:\Dell\$OEM$.

As I mentioned the unattended scripts works except when finished, I still have to update the video driver. The PnP files are clearly on the drive at %systemroot%\dell\Pnp. I can't figure out why the video is not getting installed.

To troubleshoot, as well as help build the script, I used the Server Assitant CD to build the system and create the "unattend.txt" and "txtsetup.oem" files to use as reference. In the Server Assitant version, the OEMFilesPath is set to C:\Dell\$OEM$ and naturally the video is fine. Thinking this was my problem, I made the change in my version but the installation stalls when looking for the files specified in Txtsetup.oem. When I change the OEMFilesPath to I:\Dell\$OEM$, the installation procedes, but my video driver is not installed.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

 The funniest thing - it now works. I really don't know what I did differently. Please disregard.
