test version pulled, it appears iastor and this highpoint issue is fixed.

other fix testversion for Jmicron is uploaded as 7056 elsewhere

hi
I was typing a long post, and submitted, and lost it all.
in short, [ad-a] is disabled

[ad-9] is not used in INI (for some reason. I can guess, but I do not know) and could cause clash in sil1312 during PNP

I tried all possiblle workarounds to avoid the iastor clash: which resulted in disabling [ad-a] because no other solution worked.

you are right, your workaround is a valid one.
I had spotted this highpoint, but cannot remember wether I saw your earlier topic.
I sure did not act on that but can remedy that, can I not?

so, a new 705xx is in the works.
and I hope this posts sticks (there was a lot more in my previous tha vapourised)

Hi jtdoom

at http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=1507

I explained very detailed, that your *.ini doesn't work with HPT370 Raid controller. I offered a work around.

Why don't you include it in your new DP_MassStorage_wnt5_x86-32_705_test.7z ?

I'm disappointed, that my work seems to be useless for you.
The HWIDs from "Adaptec ATA RAID 1200A Controller" and "HighPoint RocketRAID 100/133 ATA RAID (HPT3xx) Controller" will come into conflict and the wrong hpt3xx.sys from ahpt3xx will be loaded first.

If you compare
PCI\VEN_1103&DEV_0004&SUBSYS_00011103&REV_03 from "HighPoint RocketRAID 100/133 ATA RAID (HPT3xx) Controller" and
PCI\VEN_1103&DEV_0004 &REV_03 from "Adaptec ATA RAID 1200A Controller"
you see it's very similar and thatswhy the Windows setup first loads the wrong hpt3xx.sys for "Adaptec ATA RAID 1200A Controller".

To make sure, it loads the right hpt3xx.sys the more detailed PCI\VEN_1103&DEV_0004&SUBSYS_00011103&REV_03 has to stay in your *.ini before the more common PCI\VEN_1103&DEV_0004&REV_03.

Please think twice and correct this!

Kind regards

705test pulled
yesterday somebody brought an Amilo in to look at. (a notebook)
It had dropped and its optical drive was bust, so I could not test a current release of mass storage.

the INF section in the driver I downloaded for amilo lists generic HWID, and this can be tested now

Hi butthead_blg

kyr did not post HWIDs, and neither did you, and I guess we are supposed to assume that this is an iastor conflict?
BUT, this is not what I assume.

Can you please at least post the txt of INF file of the driver that you use on the floppy to succesfully install?
OR, can you post HWIDs from the machine this install failed on?

Hello all , this is my first post , i have the same problem like "kyr" (i have slipstreamed successfully mass storage 7.04 , and my hard drive still cannot be detected). First i want to tell u that i had done the same disk 6,7 months ago , i installed it on my pc without any problems . I suppose it`s somthing from the Driver pack cuz i do everything the same way . Does anyone know how to download older version of the Mass storage driver pack ?

Re: Intel Sata RAID Driver (iastorold)

When you integrated the Mass Storage driverpack using the DP Base, did you enable the checkbox for "DriverPack MassStorage text mode"?
That option needs to be checked if you normally use the F6/Floppy method for the Windows installer to recognize your hard drives.

That would be my first guess.

I Have Already Make A Bootable Xp Cd Rom. I Used Dp's Masstorage, Dp's Base 704, Nlite And Nero But During The Installation My System (amilo M3438g)can Not See My Sata Disk. What Goes Wrong

I think too,, the 3 solution is the better way ! Thanks for your change !

Re: Intel Sata RAID Driver (iastorold)

2007-04-12T17:15:36Z

your solution number three would be best, don't you think so?

I will implement it.

@jtdoom :

In my all test, these solutions works :
-1) if you change the order of AD-A and put it after IASTOROLD
-2) Disable AD-A driver with make ms_count = 0
-3) I change HWID list in AD-A : delete generic range of HWID :
- Before : "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_24DF,PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_24DF&SUBSYS_498015D9&REV_02,PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_25B0"
- After : "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_24DF&SUBSYS_498015D9&REV_02"

All 3 system works, but I suggest in next version just reduce HWID range in AD-A, and add new real HDWID from users !

OOPS, should have posted this here

isn't it strange that aarich.sys is branded adaptec, but that the INF is using HWIDs for INTEL?

if we had any idea which chip and (probably more important) Boot-ROM this adaptec used, we might get rid of this driver and put the HWIDs in a driver that uses same chip/ROM.

as it is, I looked at the sys files (like others before me), and did not remove it.
Iastor OLD [IN-1-O] lists PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_24DF with &CC_0104 behind that

adaptec's aarich [ad-a] just uses PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_24DF

I would like to make that [ad-a] load AFTER intel's

one can do that by unpacking the mass storage folder into new (empty) folder, open its INI, cut [AD-A] section, and paste it at bottom.
that would make it still support adaptec embedded, but intel would get loaded first when a full match was made for intel.

another option, one can disable aarich by putting a zero in drivercount = 1 in [AD-A]

after editing, 7zip the INI and the D folder (with a name like DP_MassStorage_wnt5_x86-32_70432)
hehe, that 32 is a joke, but you do want to differentiate it from the downloaded one...

then use it, and if that works, let us know

I have ASUS P4P800-E Deluxe edition with ICH5R.

I edit "DriverPack_MassStorage_wnt5_x86-32.ini " from MassStorage Pack !

If you see this file a section name AD-A for certain adapatec controler with HWID :

-"PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_24DF,PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_24DF&SUBSYS_498015D9&REV_02,PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_25B0"

But PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_24DF and PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_25B0 it's generic HWID range and in iastorold :

- "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_24DF&CC_0104,PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_25B0&CC_0104"

And it's make a conflict between AD-A driver and IASTOROLD driver. For solved my problem I edit ini file in pack

"PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_24DF,PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_24DF&SUBSYS_498015D9&REV_02,PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_25B0" TO "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_24DF&SUBSYS_498015D9&REV_02"

And no problem for detect my RAID drive, without this modification my hardware it's not detect ! Because generic range HWID from [AD-A] load aarich.sys and not iastor.sys for my Hardware, and it's not detect !

For me the solution for fix problem with AD-A and other driver it's change HWID and delete generic driver and put specific driver from users !
