@ RyvBoy:

I beg your pardon, but this thread has gotten a big volume and a lot of users, who are asking for help. Additionally I am supporting more threads than this one.
If I would read all previous posts before I am writing a comment, I wouldn't have even time to sleep.

after reading though some other responses on here I realised I dont need the RAID part so I tried a fresh XP install with the 10.3.0.42 IDE driver only as per the instruction in 'Part B'. This was looking good and the XP install ran right up to the part where it first reboots (i.e. finished setting up date/time, language options, etc). When starting up after this first reboot though, the laptop blue screens.

Welcome at MSFN Forums!
If you are running your NVIDIA nForce SATA Controller connected hdd in AHCI mode, you should succeed with the XP installation after having integrated a compatible SATA_IDE driver (v10.3.0.46, v10.3.0.42 or v9.99.09) as TEXTMODE driver.
Advice:
You can verify the reason for the bluescreen, if you use the F8 option "Don't reboot at system failure" while rebooting.
Questions:
1. What about your optical drive, where you are booting off? Is it SATA connected?
If yes, use another SATA port or an IDE connected CD/DVD drive while installing XP.
2. What about your RAM? Do you have more than 3 GB?
If yes, remove 1-2 sticks while installiong XP.

Good luck!
Fernando

Fernando 1, thank you for this great thread.

I regrettedly confirm that v9.99.09 (performance pack) XP x86 drivers do not work with system partition residing on NF4 RAID0. I beleive GTS driver has some incompatibilities with MS's way to check devices and load drivers at startup. Perhaps the issue can be resolved by altering ntdetect.com, since the stop error (7b) is very similar to that of failed USB boot (USB bus was reset while booting).
GTS drivers do work with NF4 RAID though, when system boots from other device.
I hope this has cleared NF4 GTS confusion and someone with enough skills may try to find a way to circumvent boot error. That would be very appreciated.

@ ADDD:

Welcome at MSFN Forums and thank you very much for your feedback.
Your findings and your speculations regarding the relationship between the NVIDIA nForce SATA driver NVGTS.SYS and the MS system file NTDETECT.COM are very interesting and should be investigated furthermore.

Thanks again!
Fernando

i built a mirroring array on 2 hd (1tb)

so is an hardware problem?

it's strange, i didn't touch anything

again Array degraded...

i'm sick of it

tomorrow i'm gonna format the SO... so i can install the raid at the installation of XP..

Would you please explain me how to do? (to install the drivers at the installation)

Have you ever tried to disable the "write cashing" of your RAID drives? This setting has solved the RAID problems of several users.

That should be done before you start the XP installation.

Everything is explained within my guide (first post of this thread).

Why SP2? If you do a fresh install, you should use the actual XP SP3 version from scratch.

how can i disable write cashing?

1. Open the "Disk Drives" section of the Device Manager.
2. Do a right-click onto the shown NVIDIA RAID device > "Properties" > "Policies".
Now you get the option to disable the "Write Cashing" of your RAIDed hdd's.

hello,
Nice for me to discover this forum.I have a laptop dv-6500 and i want to install windows xp on it.I need to know the drivers required for to do my slipstreaming.although have tried some but it seems not working.thanks...

If you want help,you should give some more informations:
1. Which is the manufacturer (HP?) and which is the exact name of your laptop (Pavilion dv6500 CTO? HP has built different laptops of the "Pavilion dv-6500 Enternainment Notebook" series.)?
2. Do you know the vendor and name of the Southbridge chip, which is on the mainboard of your laptop? You may look into your manual of the laptop. Other option: If you should still have access to Vista, open the Device Manager" and look into the "IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers" and "Storage Controllers" sections for the names of the listed Controllers. This might us help finding the vendor and suitable SATA or RAID driver.

General notice:
You will not need to integrate any driver, if you run the SATA Controller of your laptop in "IDE/LEGACY mode". Enter the BIOS and search for an option like "native SATA Mode" or similar. This setting should be disabled, if you want to get XP installed without the currently enabled enhanced SATA settings.

ok thanks.As per the bios there is no such settings that am very sure off.my laptop make is HP Pavilion Entertainment PC(dv 6500).whan i checked the IDE controllers from the device manager this what i saw(IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers) expanding a also saw(Intel® ICH8M SATA ACHI contrllers - 2829 and Intel® ICH8M Ultra ATA Storage Controllers - 2850.

Ok, this information helps much. Your laptop has an Intel ICH8M Southbridge and you will need the 32bit Intel textmode driver to get XP installed.
Consequence:
Instead of the NVIDIA ones (which is the topic of this thread) you have to integrate the Intel textmode drivers into the XP CD. You will find a guide and the suitable driver within the first post of this thread.
If you have any further questions, please post into the linked Intel textmode driver thread.

Good luck!

hello,
I slipstreamed the drivers the drivers you mentioned.when i run the iso image my screen goes blank and nothing happens.thnaks.....

Questions:
1. Are you sure, that you burnt the iso image correctly to get a bootable CD?
2. Have you set the CD/DVD drive as first bootable device within the BIOS?
3. Did you get the "Hit any key to start from CD/DVD" after trying to boot off the CD?
4. At which point of the XP installation did you get the blank screen (after having loaded the fist files, after having detected your hdd etc.)?

By the way: I asked you to post into this thread. This thread is just for users, who want to integrate the NVIDIA textmode drivers, but you are using the Intel ones.

[stsaerox]

Hello again

I would like ask you in that thread also the same question for the nvidia chipset drivers.

Which is most useful for laptops?

Can I integrate some of the packages(not all) in the same nlited XP CD?

Can I select all controllers in any driver that I integrate?

And last: Can I have the recommended for laptop nvidia drivers and the intell drivers in a single nlited XP CDROM?

If some questions are alredy answered in the start of this thread, just tell me to search there.
