jtdoom,

I'm all done with these three drivers.  I e-mailed you everything.

I was reading on IBM that SAS drives use RAID functionality on such controllers as ServeRAID 8s which is one of the controllers in both [I-4] and [I-5]

Here is the article on IBM's website about ServeRAID 8s.
http://www-304.ibm.com/jct01004c/system … GR-5069848

Under "Features, functions, and key advantages" on that page, it states that "IBM ServeRAID 8s SAS Controller (39R8765)" "Functions as a hard drive RAID controller".

I found the drivers for it.

I have taken the liberty of downloading the drivers from Dell's website, extracting the drivers, and deleted unneeded files.  I have compressed the drivers into a 7z file and put the 7z file on RapidShare.  There are two INF files in there.  One INF is for the AHCI driver sand the other INF is for the rest of the other types of drivers.

muiz,

Here is the link for the drivers.

I downloaded the drivers, deleted the current files in the D\W\AT\T folder, and replaced them with the updated drivers from Toshiba's website.  I made it so all you have to do to add these drivers is delete the current D\W\AT\T folder and then extract the 7z file from the link to the D\W\AT folder.

Hope this helps you out.

Could someone who has this network card test out the DriverPack I made and report back on it?  Unfortunately, I don't have that network card.

That's a good idea.

psychoboust,

If you need to use that driver, I would just change "ms_1_exc_skipIfOS = "wxp,w2k3"" to either "ms_1_exc_skipIfOS = "w2k3"", if you're using it for Windows XP, or to "ms_1_exc_skipIfOS = "wxp"", if you're installing it for Windows Server 2003.  If you're installing it for Windows 2000, just remove "ms_1_exc_disableIfOS= "w2k"" completely, but leave the other line in.

jtdoom or Helmi, please confirm whether this is the right thing to do.  Thanks.

jtdoom,

Please let me know where I could post the finished product from these tweaks.  Thanks.

Thanks,  jtdoom.  Now, where do I go to download the beta versions of the DriverPacks, so I could look through the files and test them.

I just downloaded the beta version from the link.  I may have found an error.

[L-3]
ms_count             = 2
ms_1_deviceName        = "Mylex AcceleRAID 160 Disk Array Controller"
ms_1_tag            = "dac2w2k"
ms_1_sysFile        = "dac2w2k.sys"
ms_1_hwids            = "PCI\VEN_1069&DEV_0050&SUBSYS_00541069,PCI\VEN_1069&DEV_0050&SUBSYS_00521069,PCI\VEN_1069&DEV_0050&SUBSYS_00501069,PCI\VEN_1069&DEV_BA56&SUBSYS_00401069,PCI\VEN_1069&DEV_BA56&SUBSYS_00301069"
ms_1_isBusExtender    = false
ms_1_exc_disableIfOS= "w2k"
ms_1_exc_replaceIfOS= "wxp,w2k3"
ms_2_deviceName        = "Mylex DAC960PG/PJ/PR/PT/PTL1/PRL Series Disk Array Controller"
ms_2_tag            = "dac960nt"
ms_2_sysFile        = "dac960nt.sys"
ms_2_hwids            = "PCI\VEN_1069&DEV_0010&SUBSYS_00101069,PCI\VEN_1011&DEV_1065&SUBSYS_00201069"
ms_2_isBusExtender    = false
ms_2_exc_disableIfOS= "w2k"
ms_2_exc_replaceIfOS= "w2k,wxp,w2k3"

The last two lines don't look right.  If the driver is disabled if the OS is w2k, it shouldn't need to replace the driver if the OS is w2k.  Am I right?

Unfortunately, no I didn't have ATI AHCI hardware to test this on.  I made all the changes that I mentioned to you and I was able to get into the main part of Windows setup after loading all of the drivers.  Before editing the file, I was unable to get to the main part of Windows setup because of the "ahcix86.sys could not be found" message.  As for the [V-4] error you were talking about, I don't have a [V-4]; mine went from [V-3] to [VM].  Did you add that section, have a beta version of the next MassStorage DriverPack, or something?
