I've tried this method to get the RAID controller working in my Sager 9860 notebook, which is a Promise 378.
I was able to get everything put onto the CD without issue, and it loads fine in VirtualPC... but loading on the laptop itself it acts like there's no MSD loaded at all ("Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed on your computer").
This is my first time integrating an MSD, so I may have done something wrong.
Contents of the created folders:
[code]E:\CD_Root\$OEM$\TEXTMODE>dir /b
fasttx2k
Fasttx2k.cat
fasttx2k.INF
fasttx2k.sys
ptipbmf.dll

E:\CD_Root\I386\$OEM$>dir /b

The txtsetup.oem file:

Any suggestions? I also have an LSI 21320-R driver I want to tackle next if we can get these working.
