Hi fernando, I followed your well structured and usefull guide to integrate these SATA drivers, only it doesn't work with me :/ I'm trying to install the my Win XP on a virutal system using VMware Workstation.. In ur guide it is said, that one needs to change the settings in the BIOS, but I can't find them, meaning i don't think I can choose.. The BIOS of the virtual machine is by "Phoenix". Hope the information helps you to support me.. Thx for replying , Cheers

Hi guys, I'm wondering why I get an $OEM$ directory full of files when i copy over my XP CD to my computer. Files such as: "emereald.exe" or "gotouch.exe".. What are these? I run a Dell Inspiron 9400 XP Media Center Edition Thx for the replies, Cheers

Okay well i checked through the Dell Site, gave in my service tag again. The site though only gives me the following downloads: - Applications - Audio - Bios - Chipset - Diagnosis - Graphics - Communication - Mouse and Keyboard - Network - Systemprogramms Anyway, the actual problem i got, when trying to install Win XP Unattended i get the Error: Can't find any harddrive. So i presume this has to do with that I didnt slipstream the raid card..

Okay thx for the response. Then im lookin for the onboard raid card driver.. I'll keep on searching.. gonna post when i've found something.. By the way: If i update my Bios firmware now and then reinstall the OS again, will i need to update the Bios firmware again or not? Wasn't sure about this one.. but i guess no. Is my presumption right? Cheers
