Adding promise SATA drivers to winXP CD...

I have burned a few discs already and the promise drivers still won't load on windows setup so no HDs appear for setup to install windows on.
The driver is not loading at all.

I already created a $OEM$ folder in the root directory of the CD.
I placed the drivers in: $OEM$\$1\Drivers\FTSATA2
the files in that path are:
TXTSETUP.OEM
ftutil2.dll
Ftsata2.cat
ftsata2.INF
bb-run.sys
ftsata2.sys

the txtsetup.oem file contains:
[Disks]
disk1 = "Promise FastTrak 571/519/579 Driver Diskette", ftsata2.sys,

[Defaults]
scsi = FastTrak_TX2K_xp

[scsi]
FastTrak_TX2K_xp = "WinXP Promise FastTrak 571/519/579 (tm) Controller"

[Files.scsi.FastTrak_TX2K_xp]
driver = disk1, ftsata2.sys, ftsata2
driver = disk1, bb-run.sys, bb-run
dll = disk1, ftutil2.dll
inf = disk1, ftsata2.inf
catalog = disk1, ftsata2.cat

[HardwareIds.scsi.FastTrak_TX2K_xp]
id = "PCI\VEN_105A&DEV_3571", "ftsata2"
id = "PCI\VEN_105A&DEV_3519", "ftsata2"
id = "PCI\VEN_105A&DEV_3574", "ftsata2"

[Config.ftsata2]
value = "", Tag, REG_DWORD, 1

My WINNT.SIF file contains:
[Data]
AutoPartition=0
MsDosInitiated="0"
UnattendedInstall="Yes"

[Unattended]
UnattendMode=ProvideDefault
OemPreinstall=Yes
OemSkipEula=Yes
NoWaitAfterTextMode=1
NoWaitAfterGUIMode=1
TargetPath=\WINDOWS
DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
OemPnPDriversPath=Drivers\FTSATA2

[GuiUnattended]
OEMSkipWelcome = 1

[UserData]
ProductKey=
FullName=
OrgName=

with all this it still will not load the driver, any ideas? Spot anything in here that I missed?
