So what do you think about this? Broken SSD, or do I miss something?

I agree with you and I am pretty sure, that your problem will be solved after having inserted the Crucial M4 SSD.

Hi there,

Last week I tried to post an update of my situation but this site was temporarly unavailable. But now I'm here. So... this is what happened:

I tried installing Win7 x64 on AHCI mode on my Vertex 3 120GB SSD for about 3 times. Every time Windows got back into the install after the first reboot while installing the installation got stuck and the computer came into an endless reboot circle. On that point I set my BIOS settings back to IDE mode and it seemed that the installation could continue in IDE mode. And that was just something I did not wanted because of the limited performance of a SSD on IDE mode.
BUT, and there is the big but: while struggling in this proces my BIOS didn't recognized my SSD at all times. And that happened more and more. I fixed this issue a couple of times by resetting the BIOS by powering down and removing the battery but that went quit irritating after a while. So I contacted the manufacturer of the SSD and send it back for RMA. I mentioned that I lost my patient on the Vertex and asked for changing it into a Crucial M4 128GB. That was no problem for them and 3 days later I ran Windows 7 x64 on AHCI mode on my pc without any problems.

So in the end... OCZ Vertex still sucks

Thank you all for all the help.

Greeting,
FBratwurst

Cool. Glad it worked.

Floppy disks are the worst data storage media regarding the file integrity. Bad floppy disks are the main reason for corrupted driver files.

Sooooo true with files in general! The file accesses can go fine at one moment, then when ready to retrieve the data from a floppy disk at another PC, a whammy, a disk error!

My HP 6910p noteb has an AHCI ICH8M sata port, i want sleepstream with Nlite the basic information to carry on with install and repair of WnXp-Sp3. The notes found here are interesting, but i am confused about to use in Nlite and possibly testing with Oracle VB before burning a lot of CD. Apparently you have the solution with "32bit Intel MSM AHCI & RAID driver v8.9.8.1005 WHQL". The point is, which information i have to peek in Nlite driver integrate menu, only the one offered by named option or multiple, like also i.e. "32bit Intel MSM AHCI & RAID driver v8.9.8.1005 mod by Fernando"? However, the testing done ends always with bugcheck 0x19, BAD_POOL_HEADER in acpi.sys, independently if I use ICH8, ICH8-M, mod for VB... etc. etc. Notice that when burning to CD setup goes through, but for some reason Nlite carries both Intel and nVidia info even if a series of non-stopping errors linked to hpzius12.sys, hpzisc12.sys scatters from setup. Any enlightment? Thank's.

@ teebe:

Since your notebook has an Intel SATA port, you have posted into the wrong thread. The topic of this thread is the integration of the NVIDIA textmode drivers.
Please post your problem into >this< thread.

Thanks in advance!

Hey, thanks so much for the tutorial!

I have a question: which one of them should i download for a common XP CD that should cover all the drivers?

I mean the same method as in the Intel thread:

Quote

For users, who don't know the specific Intel SATA Controller of their system, or want to create a Windows XP CD, which may be usable with different hardware configurations:

• Here they can get Intel's latest 32bit MSM driver v8.9.8.1005 dated 04/05/2010 for Windows XP or W2k3:
  >32bit Intel MSM textmode driver v8.9.8.1005 WHQL<
• And here is the link to the 64bit version (for XP x64 and W2k3 x64):
  >64bit Intel MSM textmode driver v8.9.8.1005 WHQL<

There is no nForce IDE driverpack available, which will support all nForce SATA/AHCI/RAID systems.
You will have the best chances, if you integrate >these< drivers (for older=LEGACY mode nForce chipsets) or >these< drivers (for newer nForce chipsets from MCP51 up), but none of them will support MCP65-67 systems or any nForce chipset system running in AHCI mode.
If you want to create a Windows XP CD, which can be used with nearly all nForce chipsets and their SATA configuration (IDE/AHCI/RAID), you should not use nLite, but the tool named "DriverPacks Base" (look >here<) and integrate the newest "DriverPacks Mass Storage" set.

Fernando

That's exactly what I want. Will those cover the Intel drivers too?

No problem ^^

Forgot to say in the previous post...that site only has support for XP x86...I need for x64 too.

Also, I need the same kind of drivers pack for network too. What do you recommend?

That's right, there are no driverpacks for Windows XP x64.
So it will be impossible to create a Windows XP x64 CD, which will work with all Pata/Sata Controllers running in RAID or AHCI mode.
The only alternative is to use nLite and to integrate some 64bit textmode drivers for the most common RAID and AHCI Controllers into the XP x64 CD, but the risk of an installation failure will be great.

For Windows XP you may use the DriverPacks method and integrate the actual "DriverPacks LAN" package (look >here<).
Regarding Windows XP x64 you may try nLite, but it will be hard to find the suitable drivers for the big variety of Ethernet Controllers.

I wanted to try your driver packs...I saw you have support for 64bit too...Won't that work? Why is the install failure risk so high? :/

It will work, if you just integrate the one and only correct textmode driver for an individual hardware configuration, but it may not work, if you integrate a mixture of several textmode drivers and enable a big variety of different AHCI and RAID Controllers from different vendors.
Nevertheless you may try it. Here you can find links to some common 64bit textmode drivers for Windows XP x64:

• >NVIDIA nForce RAID and AHCI drivers<
  
• >Intel RAID and AHCI drivers<
  
• >AMD RAID and AHCI drivers<
  
• >VIA RAID drivers<

EDIT:
If you want to integrate AHCI/RAID drivers for JMicron or Marvell Controllers into a Windows XP x64 CD, you can find approproate driver links within the start post of >this< German language thread (you will find the driver links without any problem).

Quote

Why is the install failure risk so high?

Because the intensive hardware detection and selection of the appropriate driver takes place within the second (GUIMODE) part of the OS installation, whereas the hdd/SSD detection has to be done within the first (=TEXTMODE) part of the OS installation. You can integrate so many different PnP drivers you want - the OS Setup will only accept the correct ones, but if you integrate a wrong textmode driver or enable a wrong AHCI/RAID Controller during the integration procedure, you may get a BSOD.
Furthermore the textmode drivers may be overwritten during the integration procedure, if you integrate more than 1 driver with the same name (e.g. iaStor.sys).

No, you can integrate as many 64bit Ethernet drivers as you want or find. There is no risk of an OS installation failure, because the LAN drivers are PnP ones and will be sorted out within the GUIMODE part of the OS installation.
