Fernando 1: i am not sure if Intel 82801HB ICH8 has native or non native support for ahci. As i write before, i know that i can enable ahci from bios. anyway; thanks for answer, and iaahci.inf lines.

Fernando 1 Thanks a lot i had a similar problem abaut ich8 and by adding ; ICH8 %PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2824&CC_0106.DeviceDesc% = iaStor_Inst, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2824&CC_0106 ; ICH8 %PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2824&CC_0106.DeviceDesc% = iaStor_Inst, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2824&CC_0106 PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2824&CC_0106.DeviceDesc = "Intel® 82801HB SATA AHCI Controller" lines to iaahci.inf nearrly solved the problem. (a hugeeee step, thanks to you) I am using Asus P5B (normal P5B :>) with 2 disks raid0 (jmicron) + 1 disk ich8. when i was installing ahci to my sytem (2003 64 for personal use) i showed ich9 to system and everything worked fine. (note: P5B has 2 chipsets, jmicron + ich8 ) BUT when i try to use BartPE, problem began. BartPE easily see my jmicron raid0 disks and a friend's ich9r raid0 disks and another friend's ich9 ahci disk, no problem. But when i enable ahci on my 3rd disk (ich8) , BartPE had no way to see the drive. now by adding these lines you gave to iaahci.inf: BartPE still start with not seeing 3rd drive, but now i can use "install new devices" program to make BartPE find the Ahci enabled 3rd drive. (i put it on startup, so BartPE now install 3rd disk with ahci drive but without drive letters on startup) After that, i use paragon partition manager to assign drive letters. Now i am looking for a program to assign unassigned drive letters automatically. or do u know a way to reassign letters. (by restarting a program or service :> or by uninstalling and installing sth from xp.) there seems to be 2 solutions for the problem: 1) from txtsetup.sif or 2) automatic drive letter assignement If you dont know anything about BartPe, a little introduction: BartPe have very much similarities with Unattended XP, I first learned Unattended XP so i had no problems understanding BartPE. BartPE creates a txtsetup.sif and put driver informations in it. by making changes you mentioned before, i made a txtsetup.sif but it didnt work for me. (for solution 1) http://rapidshare.de/files/38574653/txtsetup.sif.rar.html for BartPE web site: http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/ its my first message to msfn.org, :>, i learned unattended installation 4 years ago from here, and step by step now its the place i came. (i started to write instead of read :>) I wanted to give a good rescue cd to my country man that doesn't now english, everthing is ready except this small bug in BartPE. (when its ready, i will convert it to english :>) http://forum.donanimhaber.com/m_20801405/tm.htm thanks again for your help. note: I hope you will smile as me with the similarities between configurations.
