Fernando .Not obvious at all! Your textmode drivers were used and the correct controller, ICH9r RAID,was chosen. As said before-all the usual stuff was double checked and carried out correctly,including that Textmode was enabled, Have not tested this,but think XP F6 was unsuccessful because existing drivers ie iastor(For use with AHCI) were already present-this was the case when using Shadow protect F6 failed,which announced the fact. Ahem-the only one not showing is the RAID controller-as I'm again using AHCI mode the Intel ICH 9r/DO/DH/ SATA ACHI controlller is present. If the SCSI and RAID Controllers were present-I obviously wouldnt have any problems ,after all. OK ,ignoring any other problems which are a different matter -all could be solved if nLite would work for me and as I said,it should function independently of outside conflicts by and large. I dont understand either and was hoping this problem may have been encountered by someone else-but it seems not.. Previously have used nLite successfully on many occasions installing Intel INF drivers,but not the RAID ones. I am running perfectly on a slipstreamed XPsp3 created by nLite 1.45 using the same master XP2 disk and NEVER had any problems until now. Did further tests-used a previous version of nLite-still no good.My version in use is 1.46. However using Win 2000 instead of XP2-success!! My XPsp2 disk is a perfect, clean,legal,faultless validated version, as I said, used many times before for slipstreaming. So there is the fault location. FOR ME; nLite and Windows itself,as a Windows fault message appears- will not allow integrating the Intel Raid drivers with XPsp2,but will with Win2000. Will try to activate RAID by installing temporarily the 2000/RAID slipstream on an external disk connected to the jMicron/Gigabyte IDE controller to bypass the Intel controller.
