Okay I've been looking at about a gazillion forums and found out that the hpt3xx.sys is HighPoint Tech drivers for ATA RAID and non-RAID drives, it just seems odd that this is the first time that the comp complains about the missing, when previous installation has gone smoothly. Well, I'd still like any advise you might give me, atm I'm trying to slipstream the ATA drivers into an XP cd, although it's probably beyond my comprehension >.< But I will never give up, I know the answer is out there somewhere just waiting for me to discover it... although it could have made itself a bit easier to find Post if you think something might have the slightest importance or if you need some specifics concerning my specs etc to help me. Thx in advance Baltazhar

Okay here's the problems: First off all the major problem is my comp went dead after a powerfailure, wouldnt boot and couldn't install XP from my Windows XP Pro Sp2, it said "The file hpt3xx.sys could not be found. Press any key to reboot". If anyone know what the file does and how it's fixed, plz tell me. I've installed Windows numerous times from that cd, but now... *sigh* My plan concerning this was to make an up-to-date slipstreamed cd using XPCreate, just to check if that'd do the trick. I have tried everthing else and unfortunatly it's my only SATA comp, the others are all IDE So I DL'ed the software and the updates starting to go through the instructions in the site, but the XPCreate folder wasn't containing the XPCREATE.INI, so i created my own with all the options listed in the XPCREATE.INI section. So now it's looking like this: CDBURNER=E: CDERASE=NO CDLABEL=XPCREATE CDSPEED=MAX CDTYPE=CD COPYSOURCE=YES DELISOS=NO DELROOT=NO DELTEMP=NO DOCABS=YES DOCD=YES DOISO=YES DOPATH=YES DOSATA=YES DOSVCPACK=YES DRIVEDIR=$OEM$\$1\DRIVERS DVDPLUS=NO EXITQUIET=NO OVERWRITEOEM=YES RENAMEF=YES SILENTINSTALL=YES SLIPHF1=YES SLIPHF2=YES SLIPMDC=YES SLIPSPK=YES USERFILECD=XPUpdates\ USERWINLANG=ENG XPISO=XPCREATE.ISO XPSOURCE=D: DODLF=YES DLURL=http://xpcreate.com/members/HFLISTS HTTPUN= HTTPPW= WGHLPARM=-O XPCTDOWN.TMP -a XPCREATE.LOG -T 60 -nv WGHFPARM=-O XPCTDOWN.TMP -a XPCREATE.LOG -T 60 -nv BOOTIMGFILE=BOOT\XPCTBOOT.BIN Then I put the updates in their respective folders and started XPCREATE.CMD. The only error i got was a "SPACKS\UPDATE\UPDATE.EXE could not be found." so i just pressed OK (because I don't have the file, don't know what it's used for) and went on. Now I've got the .ISO file which is to be burning to a cd, but although i put my blank cd in when i started the merging, nothing has been written to it. I've made XP cd's before, but that was through Nero Burning ROM, and that was one heck of a battle, so I thought it'd be easier with CDBURN.EXE, although I don't know how. So first problem is I need to burn a bootable cd from my .ISO file, but how is this done? Thx in advance Baltazhar Ps: If my comp gets up and running, I'm gonna marry every single one of u guys in here! EDIT: And why can't I UL an avatar? It's 4kb and 80x80. EDIT 2: Perhaps i should post some pr0n pics and include the words "HOT BABES f***ING LIKE CRAZED ANIMALS!!" in the title, guess the marriage promise wasn't as popular as first presumed
