1st of all let me apologize for my last message last night, it was late, and I've been working on this for the last month reaching for every step I can take.  I love challenges and this has certainly been one of them.  I didn't know when I purchased this combination of Hardware that Intel yanked the rugged out from under XP 32bit for this Hardware.  But it's what I have and I'm going to make it work.

Damnation, thank you for chiming in.  I know you guys answer a lot of silly questions, but the silliest are the ones yes unasked. I work in the world of IT for the largest company on the planet.  But this project is a home project and I've been able to do what others said couldn't be done to date.  I know there has to be a solution to this. But it also means I have to open up my level of understanding about what DPbase does and how the nLite TEXTMODE Single Driver works as they don't like to play nice with each other.  MSFN told me I couldn't remove DPBase packs from an nLite source after the fact, yet I wrote a batch file that did exactly that, including replacing the original nLite files in the I386 folder.

So now, I need to understand your message.  I'm currently working with MassStorage pack v12.03.  I am using this one purposely to align the right Intel drivers for my situation.

When I extract the MassStorage driverpack > D > M > which "I(x)" folder should I be focused on?  It looks like I4 contains the iastorA.  What should I edit out?  I couldn't find the Intel C600 series RAID driver in the pack and I checked the v12.09.  This is where I need help from the experts.  Also will it be possible to take out the AHCI from the same folder that contains the correct iaStor file?  If my system sees both while I'm in a RAID 0 it will blue screen about not finding the the primary hard drives.

I can't think of anything else to ask until I know I'm in the right direction.

Again, thank you bot of you folks.

Well, look I thank you for your help.  I've wasted enough of your time.  I was under the impression using this forum I could learn how to modify a driverpack to suite my needs, but it's a challenge that can't seem to be done.  So again, thank you. I'll continue to try to figure this out on my own, at this point, or collaborate with others that have been successful at doing this.  I don't mind using the TEXTMODE single driver, but then I lose the ability to include the Driverpacks I've been using for years in combination with nLite and now that seems to be lost because of this idiotic situation with Intel, the X79 Chipset, and Windows XP32bit.

Sorry to have troubled you with a challenge that can't be met.

OK, just so you know, Fernando used an official Intel RST pack and basically extracted only the files needed to work with XP32 Bit and an X79 System.  He does mod files for some of the setups, but this isn't one of them as the RAR file contains only the official Intel SATA and RAID C600 series files for use as a TEXTMODE Single Driver Setup.  Here is the MSFN.org page: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/107504- … d-drivers/  It's an interesting read if you're interested.  I've noted the section below that pertains to my situation.

This explains the issues and why such a unique setup is required.

For users with an Intel X79 chipset AHCI/RAID system:

    XP79 chipset users, who want to get XP (32bit) installed in AHCI or RAID mode, should download this special RST driver (the RSTe drivers will not work for the XP installation):    >32bit Intel RST textmode drivers v10.5.2.1010 for X79<
Here is the link to the small RAR package:  32bit Intel RST Textmode Drivers v10.5.2.1010 for X79

within this RAR is the RAID files I need.

I hope I'm doing this right trying to figure out the BBCode, but what have I got to lose.

Please let me know if I'm not doing something right or what else you might need.  The file to download is 248KB, so very small.

Thank you again.

OK, so let me be clear here.  I have a very polished nLite XP SP3 with all hotfixes, addons, and settings that I need for a nice install.  It does not have Driverpacks installed and is waiting for me to make a decision as to using Driverpacks, which currently don't work due to the number of Drivers in the MassStorgage DP or to use nLite's singe Driver Textmode option for RAID, forgoing any possible Driverpack setup.

I have two very entirely different computers with different hardware in each.  I have a Sandy Bridge (X79) system pending an OS and and Ivy Bridge System (X77) system that has Windows 7 x64.

As a temporary measure I installed XP 32bit using the TEXTMODE Single Driver Option through nLite, just to get the HWIDs that you need and ran the program on the X79 system.  I'll paste them in here shortly.

Also, when I create and ISO, I too use ImgBurn....couldn't live without it.

I beg of you to understand that the current MassStorage Driver Pack does NOT work and causes my system to Blue Screen at the Point of "Loading Windows".... Not only does the current one not work, nor does any from the past.  This system requires a SINGLE TEXTMODE DRIVER only.  That's why MSFN exists to help those of us with this issue.  With that in mind my thought was to empty the MassStorage pack and create the smallest one ever with only the RAID driver I need.  Am I getting through?

It's confusing, but you have to believe this is a beast that is new and nothing like the past.

Here's the paste of HWID's from XP on the X79 system, without any Driverpacks, due to the Single Driver Textmode only through nLite:

I hope I have been able to explain this, but somehow I don't think you're ready to believe it.  Thanks again though for trying to help me work through this....

Wow, thank you for reaching out to me.  This is an unusual situation so hang in there with me.  I cannot provide HWIDs because at the moment I'm on an Ivy Bridge system Z77 Chipset and I have Windows 7 x64 installed.  The new system I'm building is an Asus P9X79 Deluxe (x79 Chipset) with a Raid 0 and Windows XP32 bit SP3.  Why?  Becuase I have some software that doesn't work with Win 7 or 8 and until I can find a suitable replacement I have to install XP on this 'other' new system. 

The downside is that Intel has made it 'almost' impossible to install XP 32bit on this particular system as the OS will not accept RSTe or IRST and has to strictly be RST drivers only and it can only be the single driver that you are setting up your system.  In my case RAID.  When I inadvertently selected AHCI and RAID in TEXTMODE (sans the DPBase) it allowed me to install my OS, but upon 1st boot it blue screened with 0X0000007B (0XBACCF524, 0X0000034, 0X00000000) (another words the RAID 0 Hard Drives couldn't be detected because the AHCI driver was present).  When I discovered what I had done I went back and re-did the TEXTMODE Single Driver through nLite and chose only the RAID (iaStor) option and the OS installed and booted fine.  But at last this wasn't enough for me because I really wanted the WLAN, LAN, SOUNDB, and Chipset, however, this doesn't work when you choose TEXTMODE through nLite after trying to install DP's.

Also, the MB provided drivers do no work and there is a note by Asus about this.  **Windows XP 32 bit ** Intel IRST driver for X79 platform will NOT support this OS.  Please set BIOS to [Sata Mode] to [IDE Mode] for OS Installation.

So you can see my dilemma.  Even though the IRST drivers won't work, the 32bit Intel RST RAID driver v10.5.2.1010 for X79 will.  Basically the system is being tricked.

Fernando from MSFN created this pack using Original Intel drivers and obviously I know it works, but not in conjunction with the DP's.  So I figured if I could re-create the MassStorage driver pack with just this one driver, it should work in textmode in conjunction with the other driverpacks I need. 

I have the file from Fernando in a RAR at 248KB... If I send it, will this help?

Let me know and know how to send it.

Thank you.

By the way I can't run the SaveHwids since I'm on my Ivy Bridge Z77 Chipset system and since I don't have XP installed on the new X79 system I can't get the information through the Software in your tag.  Thank you though..

Also, I guess I should have mentioned that even though I have these drivers, they CANNOT be loaded using F6 - the X79 chipset won't let it happen through that mode.  It has to be added through TextMode or MassStorage.  Sorry, I should have mentioned that....  I've tried installing through USB and it doesn't work either...  I should have read your questions better...

Hello everyone.  I'm obviously new here so bear with me as I try to ask the question I need an answer to.

1.  I know that if is run DPBase to include WLAN, LAN, SOUNDB, and Chipset that I can not use nLite to create a TEXTMODE Driver without breaking the Driverpacks, correct?

2.  None of the current, or older, MassStorage packs allow me to install Windows XP 32 bit on an X79 chipset, due to something Intel did.  So I pretty much need to run in TEXTMODE using nLite. This means not being able to use the Driverpacks for the items listed above.

However, in my twisted way of thinking, can I modify any existing MassStorage driver pack to have just a single RAID driver that will be select when I select the Text mode option when running DPBase?  Basically ejecting all of the MassStorage drivers and have just a single iaStor, iaStor.sys, iaStor.cab and Txtsetup.oem file in the driver pack?  I have the drivers that were provided by Fernando on the MSFN forum.

I have tried using the two files provided, AHCI and RAID, but the system blue screens at first start up every time I have the AHCI file.  ** I'm running in a RAID 0.

Any thoughts would be great.  And if I can do this, can I get some help with it?  It's small, but I don't know all of the strings required such as hdwid, etc...

Thank you - Caleb
