Thanks for your reply. I already read the FAQ and in this particular case it seems better to just manually slipstream the SATA drivers instead of using driverpacks.

I'm very curious which specific entries are missing from the ones mentioned above. Could you provide me THE link to MSFN.org as I think I already read most of them. I must be a glutton for punishment and i definately would like to know how this can be done..

Many thanks!

Hi,

I'm trying to understand in which way exactly mass-storage drivers are slipstreamed (method 1) by DPBase.
When slipstreaming manually Textmode part is working smooth, but when the XP installation starts in GUI mode problems arise right away -> BSOD! (Right after mup.sys).

This is what I did (using IASTOR):

Copied the following files to \i386:

IASTOR55.SY_
IASTOR70.SY_
IASTOR.SY_

Changes to DOSNET.INF:

[FloppyFiles.2]
d1,iastor.sys
d1,iastor70.sys
d1,iastor55.sys

[FILES]
d1,iastor.sys
d1,iastor70.sys
d1,iastor55.sys

Changes to TXTSETUP.INF:

[SourceDisksFiles]
iastor55.sys=1,,,,,,4_,4,1,,,1,4
iastor70.sys=1,,,,,,4_,4,1,,,1,4
iastor.sys=1,,,,,,4_,4,1,,,1,4

iastor="INTEL 82801HEM/HBM, ICH9 SATA, AHCI/RAID V7.8.0.1012"

That's it.. Nothing else.. No references in WINNT.SIF, no $OEM$\TEXTMODE folder, nothing.
But it doesn't work.. I've been trying for a long time to get this working manually. Why? Simple, I need to modify an existing XP image with a huge custom-driverbase. I've been trying to replace this pile of trash by using driverpacks but this didn't cover the full monty, not surprised since this specific driverbase contains some pretty exotic stuff. It's not anywhere near as structured as the Driverpacks.. It will take too much time to figure out which drivers need to be fixed!

All I want is integrating the IASTOR Sata drivers..

Since it does work PERFECT when using DPBase Driverpacks I'm obviously missing something here.. If anyone could help me out here it would make my week!!!

Many thanks for your time.

My bad.. Indeed it only requests the DVD if the installation is initated from the DVD! Thanks!

Hi,

1st post! wink First of all I want to thank all of you who are contributing to this project. Amazing in what you guys have accomplished!

I'm new to driverpacks. I'm familiar with the driverpacks concept for quite a while now but now is the first time I'm in a situation where I can finally use it!

What I'm trying to accomplish:
I'm creating an image for distribution through HP OpenView Radia on all kinds of hardware. Basically Radia pushes an image of the text-mode portion to a client and the Windows Installation is initiated from there. Therefore it is preferred to have the driverpack sources copied during the text-mode portion. I've integrated all driverpacks using M2 by moving the OEM folder to .\$OEM$\$1. Also, the presetup.cmd was modified, as mentioned by Overflow to: SET CDDRIVE=%SystemDrive%.

That's pretty much it! Now for testing purposes I'm using a DVD. Text-mode portion all goes well.. Everything is copied. Cool to see all those SATA drivers passing by. After the restart the driverpacks are unpacked and the Windows Setup is initiated. Now here's where the trouble starts. At T-39 I noticed the DVD is contacted to resume the installation process. Somehow, setup wants a source from the DVD instead of the local disk.

If I restart the whole installation process and remove the DVD after text-mode portion, Windows Setup complains it needs the DVD (some files are missing, insert DVD / SVCPack files?). When I put the DVD back in everything works ok! But as I'm not installing through DVD but using text mode image it seems some references are wrong...

Can anyone give me a hint?

Again, many thanks for this coolness and a big RESPECT!
