I followed the directions and when I try to install windows, almost right away it says can't find viamraid.sys and I have no choice but to restart the computer.
I have copied all the files from my floppy disk (from other computer on the network) that I know work and will let me install xp on this current machine.
txtsetup.oem
viamraid .cat, .sys, no extension, .in_, .inf, .sy_, .ca_
I copied all these files to:
root dir
i386
i386\nldrv
i386\nldrv01
" 002
" 003
Where the hell is windows looking for this file? Or am I missing something completely stupid?
Tried nlite, then before it burnt swapped out the txtsetup.sif, but on boot didn't like that (since initially couldn't find my sata hd...)
