Hi.

I am not able to distribute images into Dell Optiplex 755 and HP 6710b, which contain motherboards with Intel i965GME and Intel Q35 chipsets. The problem is, that when I implement native SATA drivers to the XP installation, the RIS deployment is not able to find any hard drive / or hard drive drivers. I have copyied all of the inf, sys, cab... files from the Intel SATA drivers package to the \OEM or \OEM\SATA folder, and also edited some lines in the riprep.sif.

Has anybody successfuly distributed WinXP via RIS (or Win deployment services) to the Optiplex755 or some other PCs with i965/Q35 chipsets ?? The southbridges are ICH9 for Optiplex755 and ICH8 for a HP 6710b notebook.



PS> I have written a much detailed description of this problem on this page:

THX a lot

Anybody find info on this

Im intrested in the Q35 chipset working with ris

in the folder where the source files for the windows xp pro are, create the following directory structure:

\$OEM$
\$OEM$\Textmode
\$OEM$\$1
\$OEM$\$1\Drivers
\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\ITLMXM

In the Textmode and ITLMXM folder dump all of the files from the Intel Matrix Storage Driver (RAID Drivers [iastor.sys, iastor.inf, iaahci.inf, iastor.cat, iaahci.cat, txtsetup.oem])

in your winnt.sif file add the following values to the section specified [section], add the section if it is missing from the file:

[unattended]
OEMPnpDriversPath = Drivers\ITLMXM;

[MassStorageDrivers]
"IDE CD-ROM (ATAPI 1.2)/PCI IDE Controller" = "RETAIL"
"Intel® ICH8R/DO/DH SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH8R)" = "OEM"
"Intel® ICH8R/DO/DH SATA AHCI Controller (Desktop ICH8R)" = "OEM"
"Intel® 631xESB/632xESB SATA RAID Controller (Server/Workstation ESB2)" = "OEM"
"Intel® 631xESB/632xESB SATA AHCI Controller (Server/Workstation ESB2)" = "OEM"
"Intel® 82801GHM SATA RAID Controller (Mobile ICH7MR/DH)" = "OEM"
"Intel® 82801GR/GH SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH7R/DH)" = "OEM"
"Intel® 82801GR/GH SATA AHCI Controller (Desktop ICH7R/DH)" = "OEM"
"Intel® 82801GBM SATA AHCI Controller (Mobile ICH7M/DH)" = "OEM"
"Intel® 82801FR SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH6R)" = "OEM"
"Intel® 82801FR SATA AHCI Controller (Desktop ICH6R)" = "OEM"
"Intel® 82801FBM SATA AHCI Controller (Mobile ICH6M)" = "OEM"

[OEMBootFiles]
IASTOR.cat
IASTOR.inf
IASTOR.sys
IAAHCI.cat
IAAHCI.inf
txtsetup.oem


The names in the mass storage drivers section must correspond to those in the txtsetup.oem file. So modify/remove the names that i have specified if your driver file set doesnt contain them.

hope this helps
