nuhi I did exactly similar things with the intel drivers, and got the same problems. Based on an article on another forum about manually slipstreaming drivers, I then copied them to \$oem\$1\drivers, and made sure that OEM was enabled in nlite. This then worked - XP installed correctly and ran with RAID disks. Although I then had completely different problems with XP complaining about versions of files when I started to install the Intel chipset drivers and other motherboard drivers after XP had installed. These seemed to be related to the hotfixes that had been integrated by nLite. It resulted in USB brcoming nonoperational, and thus mouse and k/b freezing. So I evenetually had to go back to a repair install from a CD with just SP2 slipstreamed with no hotfixes. RPPugh

There's notice that tell you do not enable $OEM$ enabled if you wish to install RAID/SCSI driver by pressing F6.. I didn't press F6 because I was assuming that the drivers had been integrated. Any further thoughts? If you have integrated any RAID/SCSI driver into your bootable CD, you may not press F6. Otherwise Windows Setup does not find the driver files anymore. I didn't press F6 because I was assuming that the drivers had been integrated. Any further thoughts?

Help please - what am I doing wrong? I include the Intel Raid driver from Intel Matrix Storage Manager for the ICH8R chipset in an nLite build - they appear to be included. I delete the standard SCSI/RAID component as advised; I leave OEM enabled. When I run the resulting XP + SP2 + hotfixes + IE7 install, it flashes a message saying that its loading the iastor.sys driver when in text mode, but then when it starts copying files, it says it can't copy iastor. If I ignore and continue, I eventually get a BSOD - not surprisingly. Any Ideas?
