patwa Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Hi there.I'm having a problem with the VIA Raid Driver (viamraid.sys) which will copy over fine when using the normal Windows XP CD but not with the stripped down version.I cannot work out which dependencies I'm removing that could be causing this problem. When using the stripped down version (on CD-RW but that's never mattered in the past) it gets to just past the format drive stage before a message comes up saying it can't copy viamraid.sys.The components I'v removed from the stripped down version were using nLite, where I removed all languages, keyboards, accessories, some network tools, and things like system restore, security center, etc.Any help appreciated. I'd rather have a quick installtion of XP that was clean to start with then have to install the full version and then use XPLite or similar to remove components.Cheers.Hussein.

patwa Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 Hi and thanks for the reply. Sorry! Should have remembered the config file Anyways, I burned the same ISO + stripped down onto a new disc, and now practically every file has an error. So I suspect there is some corruption somewhere, also that the original disc (where I was copying the files from) is corrupt.I'm going to get a new disc (more money to Microsoft but oh well) and try again.Config attached.Hussein.Last_Session__2006.08.24_01.25.21_.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T D Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Sorry, can't find anything wrong. Lastsessions.ini are LONG so I only read the drivers section and nothing consequential there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patwa Posted August 26, 2006 Author Share Posted August 26, 2006 Hi. Sorted the viamraid.sys problem. Will post in a new thread as I think this could be useful to a lot of people, and it'll save them trawling through posts to find it.Two problems now:1. After install, DVD/CD drives are not detected. Not listed in My Computer or Device Manager.2. I cannot access C:\ or any other drive through the Run prompt. I think whichever component maps drive letters to drives was removed.Can anyone help with this please?Hussein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
