I created a brand new installation CD, this time with textmode drivers and everything works perfectly! Thanks again! Now I'm going to do some reading about integrating software, never knew you could do so much with nLite...

I downloaded the file and am going to try it tomorrow. Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the welcome and your reply. You ask if I added the textmode driver: I believe I did not. I downloaded the driver package from the AMD website. It contains, among others, the following folders. The ones listed below are the ones I added in nLite: \Driver\x86_x64\X86_xp\ahcix86.cat \Driver\x86_x64\X86_xp\ahcix86.inf \Driver\x86_x64\X86_xp\ahcix86.sys In nLite I added the "ahcix86.inf". I read a manual about adding Intel drivers. In this manual they said that an option to choose between textmode and pnp drivers should come up in nLite. Since this didn't happen, I assumed it was a Intel-bases issue only and that what I did was right. Apparently not... I guess that I have to go and find the textmode drivers. I already found out that the file "oemsetup.txt" is important. Should this be in the same package? I didn't find them in the one I downloaded...

Hello, The last few days I've been trying to create a Windows XP pro installation disc with SP3 and the drivers for my RAID controller (ATI SB600) integrated. I'm using nLite 1.4.9.1. The creation of the iso file and burning the CD goes without any problems. The service pack is integrated and the driver file (ACHIX86.INF) is added, according to nLite. The problems start when I try to install Windows with this new CD. Setup returns the error message that it can't locate any hard drives in the system... This means the RAID driver isn't loaded. So I shut down, connected a floppy drive and inserted the floppy disc containing the RAID drivers (the old-fashioned way ). This time I used F6 to load the drivers. Setup did find a hard drive and continued it's proces. Great, problem solved (although I started this in the first place to get rid of the floppy drive)! I was wrong... After the screen where you have to choose the drive you want to install Windows on, a new screens opens. This one says "Setup is checking drive C:" and "Generating list with files to copy". At this moment, setup accesses the floppy drive (the led lites up) and the following error is presented: "Setup could not open ACHIx86.inf. Enter to retry, ESC to skip, F3 to exit setup". There is nothing else to do than exit. So my first idea was: bad sector on the floppy disc, creating a read error. So I gave the floppy a format and used the AMD tool to create a new disc. Started setup again but it didn't work, same errors. Next I tried my old XP setup CD with service pack 1, created without nLite. This time the drivers were correctly read from the floppy drive and setup could continue installing Windows without a problem. My question is: wy doesn't Setup load the RAID driver? Did I do something wrong while adding the driver in nLite? I read something about "textmode" drivers for Intel, does this have anything to do with it? On the nLite CD, I found that the drivers are located in \I386\NLDRV. Is this where they should be? The strangest thing about it all: a few months ago I made a CD in exactly the same way and there was no problem at all. If I only hadn't lost the **** thing... Hopefully someone can give a hint towards a solution.
