790 BIOS A06 does not recognize autounattend file during OS install
I have a 790 BIOS A06 that does not recognize the autounattend file during a new installation of windows. This computer is brand new, just got it this week. I check my answer file using an older 780 computer and it worked fine. I also came across this before with a 6420 laptop, but was able to get the file to read by changing the configuration of the SATA operation to ATA, but that did not work this time for the 790. So I guess I need to figure out the correct solution. Any ideas what is going on here?

In order for the boot image (WinPE) phase to pickup and start the task sequence, the correct NIC and Mass Storage drivers need to be injected into your boot image. You can manually inject the drivers on the fly using DRVLOAD (syntax below) from a command line interface or you can also inject the custom Dell WinPE 3.0 drivers (source) into the boot image. This will allow your Windows 7 installation to begin.
DRVLOAD:
drvload "c:\path_to_inf.inf"
