so you added it the "old way", i don't recommend that you add the DriverPack MassStorage BartPE plugin and the old way at the same time. One or the other is safer unless you know for a fact your HWID is not duplicated.

I don't have DriverpacksPacks.net enabled and the iastor drivers are the only ones inside the SCSIAdapter folder, so, on my case there shouldn't be any problem.

Anyway, I think you are right. A plugin is much better. I even tried to do one, but I failed several times because of using the wrong drivers. Anyway, now that it works, I will try the plugin again.

I am further impressed by the detailing of what worked for you. Your experience may help others.

Yes, that's why I'm posting here. I spent a lot of time looking in google for possible solutions. I tried several things and nothing worked, except by including the drivers from Fernando. The lesson here: Windows XP is discontinued, so intel won't release newer driver for this system; that's why a third party driver must be searched to support the new hardware. I guess creating a VistaPE or WindowsPE CD would be also a solution; they use either Vista or Windows 7 instead of Windows XP.

did you use this driver for windows install or for BartPE Plugin?

I used it for building a BartPE CD; however, it isn't a plugin. I just created a folder called: "iastor" under:
<PE_Builder_ROOT>\drivers\SCSIAdapter

then, I copied the driver files there. So, A the end everything looked like:
<PE_Builder_ROOT>\drivers\SCSIAdapter\iastor\iaahci.cat
<PE_Builder_ROOT>\drivers\SCSIAdapter\iastor\iaAHCI.inf
<PE_Builder_ROOT>\drivers\SCSIAdapter\iastor\iastor.cat
<PE_Builder_ROOT>\drivers\SCSIAdapter\iastor\iaStor.inf
<PE_Builder_ROOT>\drivers\SCSIAdapter\iastor\iaStor.sys
<PE_Builder_ROOT>\drivers\SCSIAdapter\iastor\TXTSETUP.OEM

Afterwards, I rebuild the iso image and the drivers were automatically included; no need of activating them under the plugins.

if we google  PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_8C03&CC_0106

We find stuff, like links to MSFN.ORG. ( We like MSFN big_smile )

Looks like DriverPack MassStorage version 12.x may work???
Fernando also has a custom driver that may work.

Dear Jeff
Thanks a lot for the pointer to the drivers from Fernando. The Lenovo ThinkPad E540 I'm installing has the Storage controller you mention: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_8C03&CC_0106

I tried a lot of things before getting with your post. Finally what worked for me was downloading the universal driver from fernando:
Universal 32bit Intel RST AHCI & RAID driver v11.2.0.1006 mod by Fernando

and copying it to: "drivers\SCSIAdapter\iastor". I didn't have to modify anything.

For the interested, I downloaded it from here:
http://www.smartredirect.de/redir/click … -k-CD.html

Mirror:
http://www.smartredirect.de/redir/click … -k-CD.html

It seems that the version 11.2.0.1006 is the last version for XP.

Best regards
