Im trying to get hibernation to work in xp x64, and with the help of google i found out that it might be a problem, with 4 gb ram or more. here is a link to microsoft http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888575, where they post a solution to add the Maxmem=4096 in the boot.ini file, but when i do that hibernation works ok, but windows only see 2.5 gb of ram!!??? my boot.ini looks like this [boot loader] timeout=0 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Professional x64 Edition" MaxMem=4096 /noexecute=optin /fastdetect Oh nevermind it seems to adress only x86 version and not x64

Ok, thanx anyway. Then ill just use the runonce option in nlite and install at the end of the installation.

I would like to slipstream the swedish mui into winxp x64 is it possible?

It works for me without oem folder, just integrating nvraid drivers with Nlite beta 6! I used the 7.13 sataraid drivers, just copied the nvatabus.inf from the pataraiddriver folder, and i also have nvata.inf and nvata.sys from the sataide folder dont know if they are needed but Nlite puts them in the NLDRV folder anyway. I also removed the scsi/raid and ide drivers with Nlite This is with a DFI nforce 3 ultra d motherboard with nvraid bios 4.79 I also managed to integrate raid drivers for my silicon image 3114 pci adapter at the same time and works just fine.

Yes, but those txtseup.oem arent exactly the same, the one int pataraid folder has an entry of catalog file which the the sataraid doesnt This is the pataraid txtsetup.oem [Files.scsi.RAIDCLASS] driver = d1,nvraid.sys,RAIDCLASS inf = d1,nvraid.inf dll = d1,nvraidco.dll catalog = d1,nvraid.cat <--- this file doesnt exist in the sata_raid txtsetup.oem , nor physically in the sataraid folder either This is the sataraid txtsetup.oem below [Files.scsi.RAIDCLASS] driver = d1,nvraid.sys,RAIDCLASS inf = d1,nvraid.inf dll = d1,nvraidco.dll catalog = d1,nvata.cat <---- see, the sataraid has another catalog file. But maybe you could just copy that catalog file to the sataraid folder? I dont know. Well, this is the two sections from my working txtsetup.oem: [Files.scsi.RAIDCLASS] driver = d1,nvraid.sys,RAIDCLASS inf = d1,nvraid.inf dll = d1,nvraidco.dll catalog = d1,nvata.cat [Files.scsi.BUSDRV] driver = d1,nvatabus.sys,BUSDRV inf = d1, nvatabus.inf dll = d1,idecoi.dll catalog = d1, nvata.cat To other users, there are more entries in the txtsetup.oem, so DONT just copy this into a new text file and name it txtsetup.oem, you have to open the original or make a copy of the origina txtsetup.oem and paste it in the right place

Yes, youre completely right, guess im gone blind about those filenames hehe...

I used the sata_raid 7.13 drivers, and first used nlite to integrate the drivers and did your solution with an oemdir and copied the nvatabus.inf from the pata_raid folder ONLY to the oemfolder and changed the section below in sata_raids txtsetup.oem to look like this: [Files.scsi.BUSDRV] driver = d1,nvatabus.sys,BUSDRV inf = d1, nvatabus.inf <--- old value was nvraid.inf dll = d1,idecoi.dll catalog = d1, nvata.cat

YEEHAA!! Thats the way to go!! Now it works!!! Thanx, Fernando!

well, i dont know if i really understand, do you mean i dont copy the nvatabys.inf to the sataraid folder but only to the OEM dir? Would that make a difference? I have compared the txtsetup.oem files from pata and sata and the only difference is the nvatabus.inf entry and a catalog file entry I have now changed the txtsetup.oem in the satafolder so it also have the nvatabus.inf entry and removed the nvraid.inf, because it is already there under the [Files.scsi.RAIDCLASS] section. It was this way i made work with F6 method but havent been able to slipstream it. And many thanx for your help it is much appreciated.

I have now tried slipstream with your solution and used the pataraid drivers instead. But still BSOD!! I read the post that your referring to at nforcershq, but it doesnt say if it works when doing a fresh install using the F6 or slipstreamed. Because i can update the raiddrivers manually when online, so it cant be the wrong drivers. I made it work when using the F6 but using the txtsetup.oem from the patadraid and using drivers from sataraid and copy that nvatabus.inf from pataraid to sataraid. But i cant get it to work when slipstreaming it.

Thank you Fernando! Ill try that and get back to you in awhile. Thanx for the tip

i got the oemfile from sata_raid folder. And im running an Amd 64 3200 cpu on a DFI Lanparty UT 250, which has the Nforce 3 Ultra chipset. Yes, youre right, one shouldnt compare apples with bananas... But my point is, if i was to make a driver floppy for my sata raid to install winxp32 with the F6 method which files would i have to copy to the floppy? is it enough with the sata_raid folder files? The point being is there something wrong with the driverpackage? , i mean the official 6.66 is similar in layout and would surely work for updating when your systems online, but would it work when using the F6 method and new install? since that .inf file obviosly isnt where it should be.

Hey Fernando1! Can you explain the differences in those two txtsetup.oem below the first one is from the 6.53 and the second one is from the 7.13, but 6.66 is the same too. 6.53 [Files.scsi.RAIDCLASS] driver = d1,nvraid.sys,RAIDCLASS inf = d1,nvraid.inf dll = d1,nvraidco.dll catalog = d1,nvraid.cat [Files.scsi.BUSDRV] driver = d1,nvatabus.sys,BUSDRV <---- driver = d1,nvcchflt.sys,FILTER inf = d1, nvatabus.inf <--- dll = d1,idecoi.dll catalog = d1, nvata.cat in the 6.53 there is both driver and inf entries for nvatabus.sys (marked with arrows) -------------------------------- 7.13 [Files.scsi.RAIDCLASS] driver = d1,nvraid.sys,RAIDCLASS inf = d1,nvraid.inf dll = d1,nvraidco.dll catalog = d1,nvata.cat [Files.scsi.BUSDRV] driver = d1,nvatabus.sys,BUSDRV <--- inf = d1, nvraid.inf <--- dll = d1,idecoi.dll catalog = d1, nvata.cat The 7.13 just have an entry for the nvatabus.sys, and an entry for nvraid.inf instead. I have now tried to slipstream those 7.13 raiddrivers like a hundred times now with different configurations, using your solution and nlite B4, and using only nlite b4 and nlite b5, but nothing seems to work. What i wonder is would installation of the 7.13 drivers work when doing the installation the old fashioned way with the F6 method, without copying the nvatabus.inf to the sata_raid folder??

arggg! Im still getting the bsod and reboot failure after install, using Nlite B4, and your solution and using the 7.13 drivers! the 6.53 works perfectly when using nlite b5 without any other modifications. Why dont later ones do that? I checked the all the folders in the 7.13 package all the files seem to be the same wether its pataraid, sata_ide or sataraid, how come? And why is the 6.53 only one folder for everything?

When using your suggestion and nlite should i select oem preinstall option in nlite when doing the unattended setup?

Yes, it really is awful. But what i dont understand is how can some of the nforce4 standalone packages work with nforce3 while others dont? As i said earlier updating manually wouldnt do it for me. So i did like this, i copied the nvatabus.inf from pataraid to sataraid just like you said, then i ran the nvidia setup and just chosed to install smbus and ide, when it came to the part of installing the idedrivers, i choose to install the SW drivers it said that the existing files were newer than the ones i was installing, and asked if i wanted to overwrite them, (this is for the nvidia pata and the sata controllers) (the ones i had installed was from the 6.53, and the ones i tried to install are from the 7.13) i answered yes to overwrite them and it worked like a charm. It seems as though i cant install the ethernet driver from anything newer than the 6.53 drivers, otherwise it just bsod when installing using nvidia setup program. Havent tried to manually install it yet, it doesnt seem that important either. Havent tried the audiodrivers though, because i use the realtek ones instead. So i have now made a driver package with smbus- and idedrivers from 7.13 Ethernet drivers from 6.53 and gart drivers from, well dont remember which was the latest. This is for Xp32! havent tried to slipstream these drivers yet i will try it soon. as for Xp64 i shall try the same thing there.

Can someone confirm which is the latest drivers that works with nforce3, 32 - and 64, integrated or not. I have tried to up date to the new 6.66 32bit but they dont seem to work for me. and yes im aware that the gart driver dont exist, but i cannot even update the raid controllers manually, the latest that works for me is 6.53, that works like a charm when slipstreaming windows xp with nlite too.
