Ok, then i just have to browse for the right path when i see the prompt for the iaStor driver during the installation. I thought i am doing something wrong when integrating driver packs or creating the installation usb with WinSetupFromUSB. I guess this is a issue with the WinSetupFromUSB program.

I just reinstalled windows because i wasn't sure if there was an extra slash. This is the right path that it shows:

C:\Windows\OemDir

but iaStor driver is not in this directory and this is the reason i guess that it can't install it automatically.

Something else happened during the installation. After formatting the drive, copying the files and restarting a message for Checking file system on U (my usb drive) appeared

and then:

Chkdsk is verifying indexes:

correcting error in index $I30 for file 41...

I don't know if this is related with the iaStor driver.

Ok, i will look for some other program to create the installation usb.

What other utility can you recommend me? I found this program here:

http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/120444- … -with-gui/

The explanation of the author is that it is related to the newest mass storage driver pack. Also he said this:

Text mode uses iastor7.sys, during PNP detection in GUI mode iastor.inf is read and it references iastor.sys, not iastor7.sys

This is my hardware id list:

My laptop is Toshiba Satellite A205. My source is Windows XP Pro SP3. I have not modify it but it is not original. I have not integrated third party drivers.

No, i didn't modify the source after the driver packs install.

The driver iaStor.sy_ is present in %source%\i386\iaStor.sy_ directory. There are also these drivers:

IASTOR7.SY_
IASTOR6.SY_
IASTOR3.SY_
IASTOR2.SY_

As you look in the log file am i doing everything correctly when integrating the driver packs?

This is my log file:

I don't know if this is a bug or it is normal but i am receiving a prompt to install manually a driver during the installation of windows xp from USB drive.

I am using DriverPacks Base to integrate the mass storage driver pack in my Windows xp source files because otherwise the setup doesn't recognize my internal drives.
I then create a installation USB using the program WinSetupFromUSB and then i try to install windows xp SP3 on laptop Toshiba Satellite. When it reach the stage for start installing devices i receive this message:

"The file 'iaStor.sys' on Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver is needed" 

and i have to manually search for the driver on the usb drive.

It is not a big problem but isn't suppose the setup to install this driver automatically?

Thanks, i asked this because i want to delete the extracted files after the installation because i don't they to occupy space on my hard drive. But if they are deleted automatically there is no need to do this.

Hello,

I want to ask in which directory the driver packs are decompressed during the installation of windows xp from USB drive? Can i set a directory where driver packs to be decompressed when integrating them in the source with DriverPacks Base?

Thanks!
