I'm setting up a i5 2300 and a Gigabyte B75m-D3H running a 250gb Velociraptor as a workstation that needs to run XP. So I'm stuck with a 10 year old OS on this install.

Is that for work ?

Yes it is for work, Several legacy programs and we're stuck with XP until they pull the trigger on a company wide upgrade.

I am using CD-R as my media, so I assumed I had to make a new disk for each slipstream. By both drivers I was referring to the 7 series with 316 and 7 series without. You are suggesting the one driver method and silipstream them both individually into the same install disk, Yes?

The 32bit Intel RST driver package 11.2.0.1006 contains only 1 driver named iaStor.sys.
What I suggested was, that you may highlight both Intel 7-series SATA AHCI Controllers, if you don't know the exact Controller name of your mainboard. That is not the integration of 2 drivers, but the try to enable the support of 2 different Controllers by 1 single driver.
If you have created 2 different CDs, each of them wiith the support of a differen Intel 7-Series Chipset SATA AHCI Controller, it is even better.

Also I noticed that after the nLite procedeure, the folder that I copied the sp3 disk into now has additional files showing (the slipstreamed files no doubt). Are these the files that are in nLite when I am asked if I want to use the previous session? I usually right click and delete them in nLite but noticed they are still there in the source folder.

That is why you have to restart the complete nLite procedure from scratch by copying the original untouched XP CD content, if the XP installation failed and you are going to create a new CD with integrated driver. Furthermore you should not load any ini file with a previous nLite session in this case.

Also Just discovered my XP sp3 disk is likely a volume licence version, possibly meaning it could be a nock off

So you think, that you bought a pirate copy of a Windows XP CD? Doesn't it have a Microsoft hologram?

How does one source a known legit XP sp3 disk these days?

There are many ways to purchase a legal original XP CD as Retail version showing the Microsoft hologram.

The use of nLite is only allowed for private purposes, not for business.
If it is your job to customize Operating Systems like Windows XP, you have to use another tool or method.

@Fernando 1,

I appreciate your concern and really appreciate your help.

I'm actually not an IT professional but a real estate paralegal. It is a long story but at the end of the day I am building this workstation for use at my job.

The managing partner at the firm I work at had a hard drive crash a few months ago. Their corpoarate IT support provider wanted crazy money for 3 year old technology to replace the work station

Since he knew I built my own HTPC (what I'm using right now), I told the boss I would tight him up. That's how I ended up here. I built him a Gigabyte z68mx with an SSD running XP. Now it's my turn.

Not sure if that makes me a commercial user or not but I'm not selling hardware or in the computer business.

[Kelsenellenelvian]

You are using nlite to make a installation for work. It does count.

[lioninstreet]

Commercial version? Bear in mind it is not my job to cusomize operating systems.

Nobody said that.
Here is an extract of the nLite Licence Agreement you have accepted during the nLite installation:
"1. nLite is freeware and can be freely used for any personal non-commercial purposes.
5. nLite is free for personal use only, you cannot use it for any company or business purposes at this time."

Sure dont mean to violate terms of use, thanks for clarifying the useage. Since I cant use nLite as I setup this terminal, would you be open to suggest another slipstream software that would be OK fine for my use? Or in the alternative, is it possible to pay for a commercial version of Nlite so I can use it for this install?

If not, know that all the help I've recieved from you folks up until now is appreciated.

According to my knowledge the Driverpacks tool named DP Base is not limited to private usage.
>Here< you can find all needed informations about the Driverpacks method. The needed DriverPacks Application named DP Base and the special DriverPacks themselves (e.g. the "DriverPack Mass Storage") can be downloaded from >here<.

There is no commercial version of nLite available.

Thank you for your understanding.

I can help with driverpacks method, but pick another thread under nlite as this thread is for fernando integration method. Thanks.

Since I am going to bed now, I have just uploaded for you the newest 32bit Marvell 91xx SATA driver v1.2.0.1002 dated 03-07-2011.
You can download it from >here<.

After having read the text of the TXTSETUP.OEM file it seems possible for me, that you have to check both listed "Marvell shared library for 32bit (install first)" and "Marvell 91xx SATA Controller 32bit Driver", when you get the textmode driver popup window.

Good night!

do u happen to have a ahci driver so i can install my windows xp 64

http://www.gigabyte....spx?pid=3239#sp

this is the motherboard i tryed all drivers but my ssd is not found and on some slipstreamed disk i get bleu screen

the ssd is a samsung 830

[Sp0iLedBrAt]

The site itself offers drivers by Intel and Marvel for XP x64. Can you confirm the producer of the SATA controller is Intel?

Cheers

Your mainboard has at least 6 Intel SATA2 ports and 2 Marvell SATA3 ports. As long as you run the SATA Controllers in IDE mode (=BIOS setting), you don't need to load or integrate any special textmode driver!
If your SATA Controllers have been set to "AHCI" within the BIOS, you have to load (F6) or integrate the appropriate 64bit textmode driver (depending on the port,where the SSD is connected).
Here are the download links to both drivers, which come into consideration, but you should just integrate one of them (that one, where the SSD is connected):
>64bit Intel RST driver v11.2.0.1006 WHQL for Windows XP x64<
Important: If you should integrate this driver and get the TEXTMODE driver popup with a list of different Intel SATA Controllers, you should highlight just the listed "Intel® 5 Series/3400 Series SATA AHCI Controller".
> 64bit Marvell 91xx AHCI driver v1.2.0.1027 WHQL for Windows XP x64<
The correct driver is the "Marvell 91xx SATA Controller 64bit Driver".

That consequence is quite normal, if you try to integrate a lot of different actual textmode drivers at once. As I have written above, you should integrate just 1 single textmode driver (the appropriate one).

Good luck!

Thanks Fernando, using "32bit Intel RST AHCI & RAID driver v11.2.0.1006 mod by Fernando" - working great with Windows XP on a Thinkpad T61 with ICH8.







Also - for slipstreaming manually without nLite, I recommend this guide: http://www.msfn.org/...cd-in-15-steps/
In my experience - I first tried it with just iastor.sys - and installation went through first phase - but then at reboot gave Blue screen. But then I included all the files in $oem$\$1\drivers - and it worked perfectly. So make sure to include all the files and set OemPnPDriversPath to the location of the files.

Fernando, I'm new to this board and have spent half of my day reading your articles. I recently decided to go with an Asus P9X79 Deluxe MB and wasn't aware that I would be unable to install XP 32 bit in Raid 0 Intel. I use to use nLite and created a very beautiful XP SP32 in January of 2009, which worked great when I had my X58 MB. But as noted the with the new X79 chipset the F6 function doesn't work and Intel doesn't want to support XP 32 bit, but it looks like you have been able to provide a work around with your modded RST pack. I'm going to ask a really stupid question here, but I have to ask it despite what I know you have stated. I would like to use my original nLite XP SP3 5512, but obviously it was built way before the X79. Is there any possible way for me to add your modded pack and maybe strip out the old driver pack that no longer works from within the nLite ISO I have without re-creating it from scratch? I mean can I remove the unwanted from the image and replace with your pack and just place it back into an ISO? I don't think I can ever re-create what I did as it was done so long ago and many of the features no longer exist. Any GREAT advise would be helpful. I can be a test bed if necessary. Kindest Regards, Caleb..

[Sp0iLedBrAt]

Welcome to MSFN.

If you have used nLite, then the configuration is created/saved in Last Session.ini and Last Session_u.ini, which are found in the root of the CD, so you don't have to go through too much trouble. Otherwise, removing one thing and adding another to an already modified installation sounds like too much pain for something which is likely not to work.
At least that's my opinion.

Cheers

[Fernando 1]

@ Caleb37:

As Sp0iLedBrAt already has written, you should forget your idea to modify your old nLited Windows XP SP3 image, which had been customized for being used with an Intel X58 chipset system. You will waste a lot of time and probably will get a dissappointing result.
Provided that you are the owner of an original (= untouched) Windows XP CD with a valid Retail or OEM CD key, I recommend to create a new XP SP3 CD with integrated 32bit Intel X79 RAID driver from scratch. Additionally you may integrate the newest Intel X79 chipset "drivers" (they are just INF files) for Windows XP. You can download this small INF "drivers" package just for your X79 chipset from >here<.
There is no need to integrate anything else. Once Windows XP is up, you can install the actual versions of the other missing drivers (maybe you have to download them from another computer, which has internet connection). The Windows XP Device Manager will show you the devices, which are missing by a yellow mark.

Regards
Fernando

I would like to thank the two posters above me for the insight. I do have an Original OEM with valid license. I realize I'm at a painful point considering what I baked into my original version and will not ever be able to re-create it. That's why I was asking the question. Drivers aside, would it be possible to modify the TXTSETUP.OEM file just for the X79 chipset to recognize the XP 32bit Install on my Raid setup? I know that would be a lot of work, but could be worth it to me. I hate the idea that I'm attempting to place a copy of XP on my system, but unfortunately I've discovered some incompatibilities with Audio software that I use on Windows 7 that there is just no replacement for. If it weren't for the lack of support by Intel on this board my original nLite would have work and I could correct the drivers and chipset after the install. It's just not being able to use the F6 during install that prevents me from doing this. Any further advise would be great and thank you guys so much for the quick response. Happy Thanksgiving!

No, because there is no TXTSETUP.OEM within your nLited XP CD.
All driver related details are layed down within the files named TXTSETUP.SIF and DOSNET.INF. You may open them with the editor and change what you want, but don't expect any help from my side.

Good luck!
