Topic: HPT37x on ABIT SA6R Mb Bootproblems

Hi,

On an older system (a Intel 815 based PIII 800 Mhz on a Abit SA6R motherboard) I wanted to do a fresh install. Using the Driverpacks, Í built a fresh bootCD using the masstorage in textmode.
The MB in question has an integrated Highpoint HPT370 Raid controller. On the changelog of the massstorage driverpack, I read that this raid controller is not supported by the driverpacks since it uses the same filename(s) as an other Raid controller.
Nevertheless I did try it with the DP masstorage in text mode and when I booted from the CD on this computer, hurray, the raid controller seemed to be recognises in text mode.
However, after copying the setup files to HD and restarting, the bootprocess halted with the famous BSOD and from the accompanying error message, I gathered that it had something to do with incorrect Raid-drivers.

So, to start all over, using Nlite, I integrated the original driver in a new boot-cd and still also integrated the Masstorage driverpack (again, in textmode). By the way, I should mention that this process of creating BOOT cd's is automated by AutoImage (maybe relevant for this problem ?).
Again I booted from the CD and alas, again the system returned with the same error on the same moment.

I'm building a BootCD right now without the massstorage driverpacks, and hopefully that will work.

What I would like to know is whether it is possible for me to add the original Highpoint drivers in the MasstorageDriverpack. I guess I'd have to remove the drivers that it conflicts with... is this just a question of removing the files from the zip-package and then replacing them with the original ones ? I guess it won't be that simple, but if anyone can help me to build an unattended BOOTCD that I also can use on this older system, I'd be much obliged.....

Re: HPT37x on ABIT SA6R Mb Bootproblems

I too installed WinXP whith integrated DriverPack to the old motheboard - Abit BX-133 Raid whith HPT370. When HDD0 was connected to HPT370, setup results to BSOD 7E. When I connect HDD0 to on-board IDE, setup finished succesfully. However, in Device Manager  appear Adaptec PCM. Now, I reconnect HDD0 to HPT370 - all working.
But it isn't accuracy ;-)
