How about adding in a conditional branch asking the user if he/she uses RAID, and then automatically commenting out RAID if it is not used? Is that possible?

Topic: [Total Newbie Question] (2 replies, posted in 3rd Party DriverPacks)
Who is responsible to list what hardware is covered by a 3rd party driverpack? Specifically, I cannot tell what TV cards are included in the TV driverpack, so I am not sure if my ATI HDTV wonder is included or not....
I apologize if this question is answered somewhere else in the forums.

NEVER MIND!!!! I didn't check for the devices.htm file.... Boy do I feel STUPID!!!

Quick question: Did you activate the textmode function of the driverpacks?
The reason I ask: I had trouble with a Promise 80378 controller (non-RAID) not being recognized and ended up installing windows to my PATA drive until I added the textmode setting...

Well, I do end up reinstalling windows XP at least once a month or so, and I try to keep up on the latest drivers... I keep a copy of driverpacks on my USB drive (along with email, pics, mp3s, and other important stuff).
When I get home, I can get all the HWIDs from my home system(s)... I am not sure my fiance would want me messing with her system too often...
So to make this long story short... SURE!!!
Thanx,
Brian
PS... you guys might think about splitting up the MassStorage driverpacks into RAID and Non-RAID sections... might help some people avoid conflicts like this one...

Re: [REQ] SiI 3132 32-bit Windows BASE Driver v1.0.21.1 (WHQL) (11 replies, posted in DriverPack Mass Storage)
The BASE driver (as well as the others) were all in the mass storage driver pack, but Windows XP setup always tried to apply the wrong driver. In fact, even when I installed windows XP to my PATA drive and tried to allow the driverpack to set up my Silicon Image SATA 3132 card, it picked out the SoftRaid5 driver, and I had to manually substitute the BASE driver.
When I first obtained my Silicon Image 3132 pci-express SATA card, I downloaded the IDE emulation BIOS file and flashed the card. When I tried to install windows XP to the SATA drive connected to this card (never had any problems installing to the motherboard SATA, but that supported 1.5G), it either errored out with BSOD or refused to install. I noticed that the driver that was used during the textmode install was the 3132 SoftRaid5 driver (which I had flashed to the SATA-IDE emulation), so it wouldn't work correctly. I also couldn't install windows with the onboard SATA chip and then switch it to the PCI-e card without BSOD..
MY SOLUTION!!!!! I found with my Silicon Image 3132 card, that I had to unzip the driverpack, edit the inf files to REMark out the listings for the versions of the 3132 that I did not want to use, and rezip the driverpack with 7zip. Once I did that it worked fine, and I was able to install windows XP to my SATA drive instead of my PATA drive...
If I remember correctly, I used the 7.09 version of the mass storage driverpack...
If anyone else has (or had) this problem, I would be happy to share my solution.
