this massstorage driver can use windows 2003?

Yesterday?I test one kind of driver on windows2003 ghost image, my array card model is?fasttrack tx2000,
I increased this driverpackage to win2003 ghost image ,and windows2003 boot success from tx2000.
so, i think this package can use win2003.

Thanks your explanation?I hoped this driverpackage does more and more well?

lsi_sas.sys Is found twice in    DP_MassStorage_wnt5_x86-32_708.7z

I faced this kind of problems Before . and it is related to your CD/DVD Writer

True.

Have you verified the file is actually there in the ISO?
If so, please run an MD5 check between this file and the original (pre-ISO creation) to check it didn't get corrupted (could be due to defective RAM, HDD).

Hi!

I still get this problem with yesterday's DriverPacks (method 2, no QSC and KTD). I am going to investigate further, because I am installing now via LAN. The lsi_sas.sy_ nad lsi_sas2.sy_ files are in the i386 directory so I do not really understand.

Thanks, I am gonna try and post feedback. I was unaware of this (now I see that it's even in your signature, lol).

hi,

are you using mass storage DriverPacks version 7.09.1 ?

edit> sorry, I just read you used yesterday's DriverPacks, so you are.

I will have to make me a windows 2000 install disc, and try find the cause.
It's not too much work, and I must make this disc anyway, because I want to build a database with the natively supported files in it.

Well, far as I know, the driver is for server 2000, and for server 2003.

At the moment, the driver is set to be skipped for XP.
ms_1_exc_skipIfOS="wxp"
; ms_1_exc_replaceIfOS="w2k3" (the line is inactive, it is a comment, and can be deleted.)

I looked at windows 2000 source CD to see what it natively supports, and it does not need to be set to "replace".
I have to still look at non-DriverPacks-slipped server edition, but will do that shortly.

if you want to test this without skip line...
[D-2]
ms_count=1
ms_1_deviceName="Dell SAS 5x (Windows Server 2003 32-bit)"
ms_1_tag="lsi_sas"
ms_1_sysFile="lsi_sas.sys"
ms_1_hwids="PCI\ bla bla hwids F091028"
ms_1_isBusExtender=false
   
(use 7zip to unpack, delete both skip and replace line in the INI section, and then use 7zip to 7zip the INI file plus D folder. It will want to use same name for the archive, so you should give the last number a higher number.).
Then copy the new mass storage archive to DriverPacks folder and test it.
