[HDD on promise ata 133 controllor not showing up]

I got the drivers from promise site and stuck on a floppy but it didn't like it.

What's the solution

If you have not been able to install windows vista:

I was having a similar problem. In order to install the raid controller drivers, you need to create a new driver floppy disk with the .cat, .ini, .inf, and .sys driver files. DON'T include a file called txtsetup.oem because this is why Windows Vista setup does not load the drivers for the raid controller. Setup should now continue normally.

[Network connection drops running VISTA]

Running two PCs off a d-link router.  When I run VISTA I get 'network cable unplugged' on BOTH machines connected to the router.  Anybody else?

(ps. VISTA says it recognizes the router - that's when network goes south...)

Have you set up the network/wireless? If not, you have to run the network setup wizard. By the way, Windows Vista may not be able to run the network setup wizard because of a missing .dll file: hnetwiz.dll. All you have to do if this is the case is do a google search and download that .dll file and copy into your windows/system 32 folder.

[Raid and Vista]

If you have a raid system you are unable to install Vista beta 1, cause there is noway to get to the driver load option (at least for me, nforce 3 user).

So i extracted the boot.wim and made and bookable iso from, it is around 250mb. I tried adding the nvraid drivers to the iso but so far without success. I added the inf file's to %image%\windows\inf

The .dll and .sys files i added to the %image%\windows\system32\drivers or %image%\windows\system32.

I'm not an PE expert so i probably did something wrong somewhere, any help on this is appreciated.

Also, boot from DVD to install.

[installing SATA on VISTA?]

Burn your drivers in the root (no folders) of a cd-rw or floppy, then choose "load driver" (I think it is called like that)
