what about us AMD 64 users?

[raskren]

Why are you segregating yourself because of your choice of CPU brand? That's a bit silly.

The names of your drivers may be different but the method is the same.

Hi, I try to make mine Unattended Cd and still hava a problems.
My Motherboard Gigabyte 8knxp with Intel and Silicon controllers, but I use Intel only so raskren's info was very useful for me.

Anyway, I did everything according instructions ,moreover slipstreamed with nlite my xpsp2 with last upgrade pack from Ryanvm page.

http://www.ryanvm.ne...updatepack.html

However when boot always get a message that boot cannot continue because some mistake in
TXTSETUP.SIF
for example
some line 15684 or smth is wrong.

How to track this mistake, number of line- with some hexeditor?


best regards

valerima

[raskren]

Open txtsetup.sif in notepad.

Turn wordwrap off and turn the status bar on if its not already. The status bar will show the line that the cursor is on.

Hex editors are for binary files, txtsetup.sif is plain text.

[valerima]

OK, Thank you- I will try to do it.

Anyway I would be very appreciated if you could glance for a while to my TXTsetup.sif attached , maybe you will find some more mistakes.
My motherboard is gigabyte8knxp with Intel and Silicon controllers, similar to yours, but I decided to use only Intel, therefore drivers attached are only those from Intel.
During setup meanwhile was written that a wrong is line 21632.

Thank you in advance.

[Cunning1inguist]

Couldn't you just use the nLite program to slipstream the drivers into the windows installation?

Tried using nLite, and it didn't work.

[valerima]

Thank you very much.

I got a new video and replacement is a good reason to reinstall PC. Will try.

regards

valerima

[raskren]

This was written well before nLite existed. The goal is to *teach* you how to do this, not to show you how to use another piece of software to do it for you.

Well, I'm not sure I understand, then. I've got a Promise 378 controller. How do you figure out the "Hardware Database" data?

Quote

[HardwareIdsDatabase]PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_24DF&CC_0104 = "iaStor"
PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3114&SUBSYS_61141095 = "Si3114r"
PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3114&SUBSYS_288510F1 = "Si3114r"
PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3114&SUBSYS_047AA0A0 =  "Si3114r"
PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3114&SUBSYS_0478A0A0 = "Si3114r"
PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3114&SUBSYS_0479A0A0 = "Si3114r"
PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3114&SUBSYS_90181695 = "Si3114r"
PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3114&SUBSYS_F642270F = "Si3114r"
PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3114&SUBSYS_100415BD = "Si3114r"

and what do these numbers mean?

iaStor.sys = 100,,,,,,3_,4,1,,,1,4
si3114r.sys = 100,,,,,,3_,4,1,,,1,4

I know you can put anything for these, but how do you know what's supposed to go in these quotes?

Quote

[SCSI]iaStor = "Intel® 82801ER SATA RAID Controller"
si3114r = "Silicon Image SiI 3114 SATARaid Controller"

Ok, I took a closer look and figured it out. I finally got it to recognize my SATA drives! thumbup.gif
Thanks for the guide. I really hated the idea of having to use a floppy drive in my mammoth Athlon64 system. (not that it would have worked anyway since I've got an unattended installation...)

[raskren]

For a detailed explanation of what all those numbers and commas mean go here.

Quote

As you can see there is only one Id for Intel and multiples for SI which is OK. Now remember the file "txtsetup.oem" that we extracted from both driver sets? That's a text file which can be opened in Notepad and it contains the device Ids. If you're trying this out with other drivers and don't know the proper Id, look in txtsetup.oem or the INF file associated with that particular driver.

This is all inside the article that you should probably read again.

Well, bad news...
I got all the way through the installation, even through the gui installation, but when windows tried to boot for the first time, the system just reboots. Everytime since then, I'm getting the startup menu, and no matter which option I choose, it just reboots. I tested this installation disc on another machine just to make sure there wasn't something wrong with it, but it installed fine and booted into windows. Of course, that other machine doesn't have any SATA drives. Any Ideas how to resolve this?

I think I figured out what the problem is. I broke down and decided to just install windows on an IDE drive and just have my HDD intensive stuff on my raptor. after windows was finished installing, my raid controller wouldn't install properly. It just had a '!' beside it. The strange thing was that I had the drives in onboard IDE mode, and not RAID mode, so on a lark, I decided to change them back to RAID mode and bingo!

I've attached my changes and a list of files for using the ASUS A8V on WinXP including the drivers for both Promise and VIA controllers

Made a couple corrections, uploaded new file

I had some problems with the VIA drivers. I got an error about it not being able to read the line with viasraid in the [SCSI] section. Since I'm not using it now, I just deleted everything referencing the via controllers for my cd. As far as I can tell, I've followed your directions exactly...

[edit]
Okay, now I've added the winnt.sif stuf, I've got all my driver files copied to the textmode folder and the drivers folder as well as wincabbed and copied to the i386 folder, but it doesn't see my sata drives in either ide mode or raid mode.

Also, I've read that raid 0 requires multiple disks (which would make sense) but my raid controller allows me to define a single-disk array. If I had a single-disk array do you think that would affect anything I'm doing here?

Update:

Here's a strange development:
With the above configuration, I boot from the cd, but setup doesn't see my sata drives. Just for giggles, I pop in the raid floppy and press F6 at the beginning and load the driver, but then it tells me that windows already has the driver. so I just select to load the driver from my cd... it sees my SATA drives this time. (it freezes of course bc you can't press f6 with unattended mode)
So I feel like I'm at a catch-22: it doesn't see my drives unless i press f6, but it won't go any further w/o f6. So, I ended up just burning a cd w/o the winnt.sif and pressing f6 at the beginning.

If you want to integrate PATA/SATA/RAID drivers, you can try my DriverPack MassStorage, take a look at http://www.BTSunatte.../EN/DriverPacks !

Greetz,

that doesn't work for the text portion of the setup, that only works for the gui portion, right?
