Abit BX133 RAID with HTP370 installs wrong driver.
tested with BIOS - oldest, newest (HPT 370 RAID BIOS verson 2.0.1024.), unofficial newest hacked with bios for HTP370 2.351

I guess you have one HDD on your controller? Do you can to create RAID with two HDD's with purpose of testing?

I will try and report as soon as possible - I must make new DVD.

Yes, only one HDD. No RAID 0/1 test possible for now.
I will try to get second spare HDD but no promisses..

Re: [SLV Abit BX133 RAID with HTP370 installs wrong driver

Hi, SP3 integrated XP will conflict to VIA 370, because there is no known good fix between PnP overrule in SP3 and SP2 (and gold, for that matter.).

Or, XP-SP2 had native support for a version of via 37x and it did not clash with a HWID sub sys dropped in the DriverPack MassStorage release after sp3.

Or, XP-Sp1 (and gold..) natively supported generic via, no longer supported by their last ""generic via 4-in-1"".

Or, Via chose to totally change the mask and build of an old chip, and let it still report its old GUI/HWID combo and sub sys, thinking that there are no old computers with older hardware capable of running XP.
(I still support a client running a Piii EB600 and it is running a chip with 37x)

The answer was 42?
Kind regards, Jaak.

Re: [SLV Abit BX133 RAID with HTP370 installs wrong driver

What this means is this.. DriverPacks cannot (I think) determine whether or not you run Sp1 or SP3, and the only workaround is to either drop (comment/delete) the (affected) driver for 37x, or to drop the affected drivers and the INI sections altogether (and add the non-natively supported working driver in a folder usable for DPinst tool.)

Samlab has reported this over and over for VIA, and I think he has no fixed fix.
Neither do I.
SamLab is Russian, and I hope he takes lessons in English. He is a sharp shooter and finds problems, but he gets misunderstood, or not understood at times. (We are an international bunch, and we better learn that 'on line translate' is not the better tool?)

edit; oops; Via is NOT Highpoint brand.. a Highpoint controller Can have a rebranded Via chip, but so can adaptec.
(I was writing from the top of my head.. thinking 370 is Via..)

Re: [SLV Abit BX133 RAID with HTP370 installs wrong driver

jeesh, 37x.. Highpoint?

not via, but same problem.
SP3 has changed support to highpoint.
OverFlow once wrote a exception and later on, in testpacks, it got diluted or abandoned.

My bad I checked only AD and H dirs not ini file.

---------------

Still BSOD.
I will check without other packs /cpu / chipset/ etc.


-----

I checked the HDD after BSOD in system on CD with HDD pluged to normal controler
Inside Windows/recovery/system.log

It looks like the driver loaded is:
ahpt3xx.sys  size: 44,998

I supose name change comes from
DriverPack_MassStorage_wnt5_x86-32.ini

[AD]
ms_count=1
ms_1_deviceName="Adaptec ATA RAID 1200A Controller"
ms_1_tag="ahpt3xx"
ms_1_sysFile="hpt3xx.sys"
ms_1_hwids="PCI\VEN_1103&DEV_0004&CC_0104"
ms_1_isBusExtender=false

and as I can see it still loads driver from AD/ dir not h/ dir

Re: [SLV Abit BX133 RAID with HTP370 installs wrong driver

I did it 4 minutes before - I'm burning CD right now wink
I deleted:
[ad] dir
and [ad] section in ini

Will report in ~10 minutes

Re: [SLV Abit BX133 RAID with HTP370 installs wrong driver

With [AD] dir and [AD] ini's entries deleted install is successful.
But that of course is not valid solution.

The PC has to go in ~16 hours. so if anybody has an idea what hwdid need to be added to ini...

Re: [SLV Abit BX133 RAID with HTP370 installs wrong driver

At least we know AD is causing an issue. I will look into it, for now I suggest you get rid of it if you don't need it of course. I will download the latest driver of both manufacturer and keep the one that fits both. (If possible)

"get rid of it" - what it means? I can't to translate it to my native language.

The drivers for HP in pack is the lastest avilable. So no need to look for new.

I have no problem with installing WinXP.
I'm doing ~ once per week - friends/family helper, some outside work  - a few beers are always welcome wink.

I've been using driverpacks for long time - I had much more posts in old forum - now I don't have much free time.


This one PC - it was 15 minutes more work - after BSOD I knew what was wrong since beginning so I moved HDD to standard intel IDE controler (ATA33 max), instaled unnatended windows/ get rid of wong driver (forced update to HPT)/ moved HDD to HPT370 (ATA 100), works done.

GHOSTed C: partition for duration of tests. PC will go one floor down to neighbour tomorrow.

So the problem is not to me but to others with HTP370 who wont know what to do.


So if You or anyone else have some ideas what to put into .ini (no need to make whole pack - I will make it myself) come forth and speak wink

Re: [SLV Abit BX133 RAID with HTP370 installs wrong driver

I think we are can't to do something without Adaptec ATA RAID 1200A Controller... Both of them, Adaptec ATA RAID 1200A and HighPoint HPT3xx ATA RAID builded on HPT3xx chip. I think, does support the Adaptec ATA RAID 1200A a driver from the HighPoint HPT3xx ATA RAID Controller or not?..

Re: [SLV Abit BX133 RAID with HTP370 installs wrong driver

Looking at:
http://ask.adaptec.com/scripts/adaptec_ … _topview=1
and other asnwers at the bottom of that page

I would say that at least default(?) (there is HTP370 driver in windows?) driver might have *some* problems - at least in RAID mode.
I don't know if the newest Highpoint driver is better.
If I had 1200A card I could test it but as I don't have it - I can't

There are (I googled for it) some pages that speak about successful use of HTP370 drivers but under Linux not Windows.

Re: [SLV Abit BX133 RAID with HTP370 installs wrong driver

In fact, i'm pretty sure the newer driver at http://www.highpoint-tech.com/BIOS_Driv … 3-0930.zip can replace AD and H4. Just one hwid will be dropped, but I will copy it to an extra inf. So Debugger, I think you're right but the best way to find out is to test it on the proper hardrware which I don't have unfortunately.

there is HTP370 driver in windows?

No there is not, unfortunately some people assume things without actually looking big_smile You can look at your mshdc.inf to verify.
