i was just wondering if anybody had managed to integrate the nvidia sata raid drivers into the install?
i started to look int this a couple of days ago, but so far i haven't been able to do it myself.
i think my problem is to do with the naming of the drivers (internal, driver, and friendly)
in the txtsetup.sif file
but i don't really know???
at the moment when it starts the windows setup i don't get any errors, but it doesn't see my raid drives either

i know i've messed something up, but i'm just too stupid to see it

i got this info. from the txtsetup.oem file

[Files.scsi.RAIDCLASS]
driver = d1,nvraid.sys,RAIDCLASS
inf = d1,nvraid.inf
dll = d1,nvraidco.dll
catalog = d1,nvraid.cat

[Files.scsi.BUSDRV]
driver = d1,nvatabus.sys,BUSDRV
inf = d1, nvatabus.inf
dll = d1,idecoi.dll
catalog = d1, nvata.cat


id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_008E", "nvatabus"
id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0085", "nvatabus"
id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00D5", "nvatabus"
id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00EE", "nvatabus"
id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00E3", "nvatabus"
id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00E5", "nvatabus"
id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0035", "nvatabus"
id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0036", "nvatabus"
id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_003E", "nvatabus"
id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0053", "nvatabus"
id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0054", "nvatabus"
id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0055", "nvatabus"

i presume that the naming is something like:

driver names nvraid.sys & nvatabus.sys

internal driver names: RAIDCLASS & BUSDRV

friendly names = RAIDCLASS = "NVIDIA RAID CLASS DRIVER (required)"
BUSDRV = "NVIDIA NForce Storage Controller (required)"


and so from that i added these lines to the TXTSETUP.SIF file

[SourceDisksFiles]nvraid.sys = 1,,,,,,3_,4,1,,,1,4
nvraid.inf = 1,,,,,,,20,0,0
nvatabus.sys = 1,,,,,,3_,4,1,,,1,4

PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0054 = "nvatabus"
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0055 = "nvatabus"


[SCSI.Load]
atapi = atapi.sys,4
nvraid = nvraid.sys,4
nvatabus = nvatabus.sys,4


[SCSI]
nvraid = "NVIDIA RAID CLASS DRIVER (required)"
nvatabus = "NVIDIA NForce Storage Controller (required)"

and i copied all the driver files to the amd64 folder

please help me i'm going mad

Ive got the same problem, I can get my 32 bit xp integrated no problems but cant
get 64bit working at all.

Try these new beta xp64 drivers out m8..lets see if we can get an install going.

Thanks TheDr!ll,

nice find m8

None of these beta drivers are going to work since none of them are whql and have a valid cat file. XP64 already comes with built in support for nvidia nforce3 support. These drivers will be given preference no matter which beta drives you use. The only way to get around this and do a proper install is to either have drivers that are whql'd or hack files in x64 that disables the built-in nforce3 support and thus the installation starts looking for the drivers at an alternative location.

[Pyr0]

if that was the case then how have we been able to use beta drivers to install windows xp x64 in the past?

What he's saying is the inorder for drivers to be integrated on the CD they
need to have beed signed and have a .cat file with them. I can use both
Nvidia and Silicon Image beta drivers if I use a floppy and F6. But they don't
work if I try to integrate them on a 64XP CD.

None of the 64x nvidia drivers that I have used , have a .cat file...even whql ones.

[big poppa pump]

And none of them are going to have one till the time nvidia releases an official set of drivrs for the x64 edition. However......there are other ways around!!!

[Pyr0]

...Like using the cat files from 32bit???

That wouldn't work. The .cat or security catalog file is for a specific
driver. Also if you make any changes like edit the .inf file then the .cat
file is again nogood. You also couldn't use a .cat file from a different
64bit driver.

could you be a bit more specific then please.

we did ask for a bit of help here

[Jazkal]

Have you guys tried this one from nVidia?

WHQL Certified Version 71.84 x64 drivers

[Bâshrat the Sneaky]

Note that the new nForce 6.56 drivers seem to work!!!

Jazkal: thaey are the video drivers, we are trying to integrate the sata/Raid drivers

Bâshrat the Sneaky: what method did you use? could you please give plenty of details.


people keep popping in here and leaving one line answers, what's the point of that!
we need some complete answers, not just - 'oh there are other ways'
so what are the other f***ing ways???

i'm sorry for getting so annoyed, but when i only get half answers it kinda p***es me off
i mean, why not just type the complete answer in the first place, instead of dragging it out.
you guys are obviously trying to make out that you know how it's done, so why not just let us all know!

Sorry about the rant, and thanks in advance for any help we may recieve

Pyr0

[TheDr!ll]

Yes it would be nice if we were given some sort of clue to installing these xp64 raid drivers into the O/S so we can actually use it!!!

Anyone had any success with this at all on this forum?

Any help would be welcome, as the tryed and tested methods do not seem to work for pyro and myself.

[Bâshrat the Sneaky]

I don't have a 64 bit processor, so unfortunately I cannot post my experiences... if you buy me one, I'd be glad to test it

Source. It's in Dutch... and apparently heavily moderated, because the positive report I read there is gone...

I don't claim to be an expert..I just want to share how i integrated my via sata driver..

Edit the txtsetup.sif file found in the AMD64 folder..

find the line in the brackets and add the following lines:

Quote

[SourceDisksFiles]viamrx64.sys = 1,,,,,,3_,4,1,,,1,4
viamrx64.inf = 1,,,,,,,20,0,0

[HardwareIdsDatabase]
PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3249 = "viamrx64"
PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3149 = "viamrx64"
PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3164 = "viamrx64"

[SCSI.Load]
viamrx64 = viamrx64.sys,4

[SCSI]
viamrx64 = "VIA VT8237/6421/6410 SATA RAID Controller(SRV2003/XP-x64)"

Copy the viamrx64.sys driver files to your AMD64 folder..Done..

Sorry I know this topic is about Nvidia driver slipstream..

Are the VIA SATA drivers you integrated WHQL with a .cat file?
