How can use of an Intel RST driver be automated in a Windows 11 unattended setup?
This driver joins two NVMe disks into one virtual RAID 0 disk before partitioning takes place.
During an interactive setup, the driver would be selected manually at the "Load Driver" prompt.
The driver folder (with .inf etc files) has been copied into the root of the ISO built with OSCDIMG, but I cannot figure out how to automagically install this driver so that the partitions are created thereafter on the RAID 0 disk.
Three partitions are specified in unattended.xml:
The WinRE partition will be added at the end of the disk later using FDISK automation or when BitLocker is activated - still exploring both of these.
Specifically, I am looking for advice on how to load this Intel RST driver before partitioning takes place.
Thanks

Batch:
select disk 0
select partition 3
extend filesystem
shrink desired=800 minimum=700
create partition primary
format quick fs=ntfs label="Recovery"
