jaclaz -> The floppy disk was left in the usb drive from the beginning and I disabled the USB keyboard and Mouse options in the BIOS. When my WinXP CD booted, I pressed F6. After windows loaded some drivers, it asked me if I had a 3rd party disk to load the mass storage drivers. (If so press "s"). I pressed S and nothing happened. I hit "enter". This error message came up: Section Files.scsi.raidclass_2k of the INF file is Invalid I pressed "Enter" This error message came up: File caused an error (0) at Line 2166 in d:\xpsprtm\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.C. More drivers loaded and then it said Windows is starting. A message came up stating that Windows could not find a hard drive.... and the system rebooted. I am totally clueless as to what to do. Any help would be very much appreciated. THANKS!!!

Thanks Jaclaz. The Press "S" refers to the point at the beginning of the install (after the F6 blue screen) where Windows states press S if you need to install 3rd party drivers or enter to continue. I think my issue may lie in the placement of the additional text in the driver file. I will follow your instructions and try again. Thanks so much. Heida1

HELP!! Hi Spiff - I am terribly unfamiliar with syntax and I am trying desperately to add a Raid 0 driver to a fresh WinXp install. I am having the same troubles as those in this thread and I have tried to add the new commands that will allow Windows to read various USB floppies, but I don't seem to be having any luck. My floppy drive seems to work fine under all circumstances, except during the install. At what point exactly should the disk be accessed to read the new commands? My understanding is that the driver disk is not inserted until after you press "S" to add drivers - at this point it is too late how ever, because my floppy will not read at this point. Can someone please point to the location where I should add the new commands and let me know when I should put the disk in the floppy: ; A HardwareIds.scsi.Service section specifies the hardware IDs of ; the devices that a particular mass-storage driver supports. ; ; [HardwareIds.scsi.Service] ; id = "deviceID","service" ; ; HardwareIds.scsi.Service ; Service specifies the service to be installed. ; ; <deviceId > Specifies the device ID for a mass-storage device. ; <service > Specifies the service to be installed for the device. ;The following example excerpt shows a HardwareIds.scsi.Service section for a disk device: ; [HardwareIds.scsi.RAIDCLASS_2KXP] id = "GenNvRaidDisk","nvraid" id = "*_NVRAIDBUS","nvraid" [HardwareIds.scsi.BUSDRV_2KXP] id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_008E", "nvatabus" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0085", "nvatabus" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00D5", "nvatabus" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00EE", "nvatabus" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00E3", "nvatabus" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00E5", "nvatabus" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0035", "nvatabus" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0036", "nvatabus" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_003E", "nvatabus" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0053", "nvatabus" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0054", "nvatabus" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0055", "nvatabus" [HardwareIds.scsi.RAIDCLASS_2003] id = "GenNvRaidDisk","nvraid" id = "*_NVRAIDBUS","nvraid" [HardwareIds.scsi.BUSDRV_2003] id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_008E", "nvatabus" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0085", "nvatabus" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00D5", "nvatabus" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00EE", "nvatabus" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00E3", "nvatabus" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00E5", "nvatabus" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0035", "nvatabus" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0036", "nvatabus" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_003E", "nvatabus" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0053", "nvatabus" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0054", "nvatabus" id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0055", "nvatabus" Also - I have an ABIT Mobo with Phoenix Bios - I'm wondering if I have something askew in the bios - I tried to identify where my floppy disk is, but I am unable to find it and thus, I can not see if there is a legegacy drive turned on. Thanks in advanced to anyone that can help me out!
