... . so i think XPCREATE it recompressing driver files found in the <filescd>\drivers folder and then copying to the final ISO. ...

You kiddin'? That's extra work! It's just an XCOPY ...

[r37ribution]

let me look into this....i think ill start looking at your batch code before i post

Just to confirm (and I don't think it was) but the VIA VT8237 SATA RAID controller works fine with XPCREATE.

Can edit this post and place the directory structure if needed...but I'm sure it isnt.

The only change I made to the driver was to strip the unneeded OS drivers from the file/dir i.e. Win98, ME, NT, etc.

Hello everyone,

Sounds like this is great software that will be very convenient once XP is installed. However right now I'm trying to reinstall from scratch and I'm having problems with my raid controller. I was running windows a few months ago, (and didn't have this much trouble installing XP) then I switched to Linux. Great OS, however I didn't know it and had a hard time finding the right info on what I was running, so now I'm back to XP.

After some searching I found some RAID drivers (Silicon 3114 Raid driver V0.0.0.4 For 9x/Me/2k/XP from the Chaintech website. www.chaintechusa.com/tw/eng/Download/dl_LI.asp?DISNo=416 ) that got me through the first start installation screen. During the windows installation I received a message that said my RAID drivers were not digitally signed (or however they phrase it.) I stopped the install and decided to come looking for more info.

I'm wondering how I can use your software before windows is installed. I don't want to connect my computer to the Internet until after I install SP2. If you could help me with specific instructions on using your software during the XP install process or if you could just point me to digitally signed drivers it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for being here and good luck with your ventures.

Aaron

I hope that it is OK to bump this topic! I need help with my SATA150 TX4 PCI Card. I need to include the drivers with my XP SP2 disk. I am having difficulty incorporating the correct lines in my TXTSETUP.SIF file. I really need someone to help please!
I hope that I am in the right place here, please move this if it is not correct, thanks!

I understand this is an OLD topic, but I have something new to ask. I'm using one of bashrat's driver packs for sata, but it looks like all the .sys files are still in the .sy_ format. XPCREATE checks for the existence of .sys files in order to integrate SATA. Would I be ok renaming these to .sys or is there something I need to do for these to integrate correctly?

Edit: actually, it looks like in the driverpack itself they are .sys, but once I run his batch files to integrate into the disc it sets them to .sy_ I guess I can just rename them then, but I'll look into why it's renaming them in the first place.

They're being CABbed... You'll have to decompress them.

Blast form the past, this is old topic. But does anyone have the original RC4000 series drivers for the Raidcore controller card? I have a RC4452 card, but Broadcom wont respond to my emails, and thier new drivrs with prfix of BC will not work with my card. Any help would be appreciated much!
