  1. It is fine,that you succeeded at least and that I was able to help you. Which one did you integrate at least? You are welcome!
  2. @ sucro: Thanks for your answering my questions. At least I have no idea what may cause your problems while trying to install Windows XP. The error message indicates a hardware problem. Are you sure, that your system has an Intel ICH10 SATA Controller? Since you actually are running XP in IDE mode, please open the "IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers" section of the Device Manager and look for the HardwareIDs of the listed Controllers (right click onto them > "Properties" > "Details" > "Property" > "HardwareIDs").. @ raistlin888: Thanks for your detailed report. Just to exclude, that the composition of the RSTe driverpacks (including SAS drivers etc,) are responsable for your issues, I give you links to 2 alternative 64bit Intel RAID drivers, which I have modified to make the integration easier and safer. Here are the packages: >64bit Intel RST driver v11.2.0.1006 mod by Fernando for XP x64<< (compatible with nearly all Intel AHCI and RAID systems incl. X79) >64bit Intel RSTe drivers v3.6.0.1086 mod by Fernando for XP x64< (only usable with X79 chipsets) I recommend to start the nLite processing with the first driver. If you should not succeed, you can try the second one. Just integrate the listed "Intel® C600 Series Chipset SATA RAID Controller". Important: You have to start each time from scratch by copying the original XP x64 source into a processing folder. Don't load any nLite preset (Last_Session.ini). That is a good idea. You can name it as you like (e.g. "RAID1") I wouldn't do that. It is better to partition the RAID1 array. You can do that while installing Windows XP x64 or from within the installed OS by using the Disk Management.Good luck! Fernando
  3. @ sucro: Are you sure, that the OCZ SSD works and is bootable? Where did you get it resp. where did you use it before? If you have or can get any Live CD like Ultimate Boot CD, Parted Magic or Ubuntu, boot off it and check the SSD.
  4. Are you sure, that your SSD is connected to an Intel SATA port?If yes, you may switch the SATA port for your SSD (best choice: Port0).
  5. There obviously is something wrong regarding your RAID configuration.Questions: What does the Intel RAID ROM Utility show, when you hit Ctrl+I while booting (if possible, take a screenshot)? Which Intel RAID driverpack did you integrate? Did you change anything regarding the content of the driverpack (has to contain the file txtsetup.oem and all original INF, CAT and SYS files)? How did you manage it to integrate iaAHCI>Intel C600 Series Chipset SATA RAID Controller? That is not only absolutely wrong, but seems impossible for me, because the information file named iaAHCI.inf doesn't support any RAID Controller. I suspect, that your RAID1 array either has not been properly created or not properly been deleted.Important: After having created a RAID array (=conjunction of 2 or more hard drives to 1 RAID drive), you are not able to switch to any other SATA mode (IDE or AHCI) unless you had deleted the RAID array before by joining the RAID ROM Utility (Ctrl+I) and hit the option "Delete Array". If you want to get Windows XP installed in AHCI mode, you have to prepare a new nLited XP CD by integrating the same driverpack, but choosing just the "Intel® C600 Series Chipset SATA AHCI Controller", when you get the textmode popup window. My advice: 1. Run the RAID ROM Utility and delete the existing RAID1 array. 2. After having done that you can decide either to recreate the RAID1 array and to retry the XP installation with your already prepared XP CD or to enter the BIOS > set the Intel SATA Controller to "AHCI" mode > save > unplug one of the HDDs (connected with the higher port number) > restart > reenter the BIOS > make sure, that the still connected HDD is listed as bootable HDD > boot off the prepared nLited XP CD with integrated AHCI Controller.
  6. @ raistlin888: Welcome at MSFN Forum! Now to your problem: 1. Please read the start post of this thread carefully and follow my guide and advices. 2. Don't integrate more than 1 single textmode driver. 3. When you get the Textmode Driver integration Popup, choose just the correct Intel SATA Controller of your system (i's the "Intel® Intel C600 Series Chipset SATA RAID Controller") and nothing else! 4. Before you are going to install Windows XP x64 onto your Intel RAID array, you should enter the BIOS, go to the "BOOT" section and make sure, that the Intel RAID array has been set on the first position of the "HARD DISK BOOT PRIORITY" settings. You haven't read that. What I had written was, that the newest inofficial Intel RST(e) RAID driver v12.5.0.1066 obviously do not support the TRIM in RAID feature, which is only valid for a RAID array with 2 or more SSDs as members and an Operating System Win7 or later, which is able to send the TRIM command to the SSDs. You have neither 2 SSDs nor are you going to install Win7 or Win8. All Intel RST and RSTe drivers definitively do support RAID (even the RST(e) drivers v12.5.0.1066).Regards Fernando
  7. No, that wouldn't work. You should not install/integrate more than 1 Intel AHCI driverpack.I would take the "newest" version 8.9.8.1005 mod.
  8. @ Smoking: Welcome at MSFN Forum! No, you have done everything the correct way.AMD doesn't offer "clean" AHCI drivers for Windows XP. That is why you have to use an AMD RAID driver, which is AHCI compatible. The Samsung tool named Magician generally is not able to detect an AMD RAID Controller. If you want to run a "clean" AMD AHCI driver named amd_sata.sys, you have to install Vista, Win7 or Win8.
  9. Yes, the modded Intel MSM drivers v7.8.0.1012 and v8.9.8.1005 do support the "Intel® ESB2 SATA AHCI Controller" (DEV_2681).
  10. @ sucro: Welcome at MSFN Forum! Questions:1. Did you use an original (= untouched) XP CD as source? 2. Which SATA Controller did you check, when nLite was doing its textmode driver integration work? Regards Fernando
  11. @ e4services: Thank you for your detailed report about what you have done to get XP running on your new Intel system, but I still do not see any relationship to the topic of this thread. Why haven't you done a fresh XP installation?
  12. @ e4services: Welcome at MSFN Forum! Although I have read your 2 messages very carefully, I didn't really understand them. What exactly do you want to do? What has the NVIDIA nForce SATA driver named NVGTS.SYS to do with this topic, which is only valid for Intel SATA drivers? This thread has not been designed for a transfer of a running XP partition from an nForce to an Intel chipset system. What you should do is a fresh install of Windows XP onto your H67 Dell system by following my guide, which is layed down within the first post of this thread. You should start the creation of the customized XP CD by copying the content of the original (=untouched) XP CD. Do not use any previously nLited XP CD as source. Regards Fernando
  13. @ killer1one1: Welcome at MSFN Forums! Since your question has nothing to do with the tool nLite and the topic of this thread, I recommend to search for an answer somewhere else. I generally do not recommend a switch from IDE to AHCI from within an already running OS. Regards Fernando
  14. That was a good choice, but which of the listed Intel SATA Controllers did you highlight, when you got the textmode driver popup window with the list of all available Intel SATA Controllers?The correct one would have been the "Intel® 5 Series/3400 Series SATA AHCI Controller". No, you should not integrate more than 1 Intel textmode driver and it would be the best option to check just the correct Intel SATA AHCI Controller (5-Series/3400 Series).Another tip: Before you are going to install Windows XP, you should unplug the second HDD.
  15. @ hal8000: Why did you start a new thread with your problem? >Here< is a special thread regarding the integration of the Intel textmode drivers into a Windows XP CD.
  16. @ lera1981: Welcome at MSFN Forum! For me there are 2 possibe reasons for the issue you have reported:There are wrong BIOS settings regarding the boot order resp. the HARD DISK BOOT PRIORITY or the Windows XP bootsector with the Master Boot Record has been installed outside your system drive (Corsair SSD). Please enter the BIOS and check, if your Corsair Force GT SSD has been set as first bootable HARD DISK DRIVE. If the BIOS boot settings are ok,, but your problem should persist, I recommend to boot off the nLited XP CD again and to use the "Repair" function. Alternatively you may download the tool EasyBCD, which is free for the non-commercial use. You can get it >here<. Good luck! Fernando
  17. I am sorry, but I have no idea how I could help you.Windows XP is a very old Operating System and was developed by Microsoft without any knowledge about AHCI, GPTand about how to support HDDs with a size of 3 TB.
  18. @ achiprobl3m: Welcome at MSFN Forum! There are not so many users with an Intel C600 Series Chipset mainboard and and a 3TB GPT partitioned HDD, who are running or would like to run Windows XP.in AHCI mode.My advice is to use a more actual Operating System. Regards Fernando
  19. @ Daytrader: You will only get the possible performance from your SATA connected HDD or SSD, if you have connected it/them to one of the Intel SATA ports running in AHCI or RAID mode. Since your ASUS P5QL PRO mainboard has an Intel ICH10R Southbridge and does support AHCI, I recommend to integrate the suitable Intel AHCI driver into your XP CD and to install the OS in AHCI mode. Regards Fernando
  20. @ Nilspils123: Welcome at MSFN Forum! Thanks for the ino!Now the links should work again. Regards Fernando
  21. You have to use a clean=untouched XP SP2 or XP SP3 as source, if you want to install XP onto your X79 RAID system. Just boot off your Win7 DVD resp. USB flash drive, but use the "Repair" instead of the "Install" option. This will recreate the Win7 bootloader. There is no need to reinstall Win7.
  22. The presence of the file named WINNT.SIF verifies, that you have used an already processed XP CD as source.If you want to install Windows XP successfully onto an Intel RAID or AHCI system, you have to use an absolutely untouched XP CD as source. Otherwise you may get interactions of the previously integrated and for your special hardware not usable drivers with the driver you really need to be integrated (= the Intel RAID driver).
  23. Was the XP CD, into which just the SP3 had been slipstreamed, an original one (with MS hologram)? Does the i386 directory of your XP CD contain a file named WINNT.SIF?
  24. Questions:Did you use an original (= untouched) XP CD as source? Did you integrate more than the 32bit Intel RST driver v10.5.2.1010 for X79? If yes, which ones? While nLite was going to integrate the Intel textmode driver you got a popup window with the following Intel SATA Controllers: a. "Intel® C600 Series Chipset SATA AHCI Controller" b. "Intel® C600 Series Chipset SATA RAID Controller" If you should have integrated them both, you may redo the nLite work by enabling just the SATA RAID Controller.
  25. Try to boot XP in safe mode and look into the Device Manager for yellow marks.Another advice: Before you are going to install Windows XP, you should unplug all devices (HDDs, USB sticks, SD cards etc.), which are not necessary.
