chewwinxp2 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Trying for Fully Unattended. Using WinXP SP2 disk. w/ Sata Raid 0 array, on a MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum MBGoing on to a raw (D-ban 1.07 wiped) raid array.Setup array, bootable and healthy.I followed directions, but I cannot figure out what I am missing or messing up. Here is what I've tried and the results :Integrated sata/raid drivers from MSI website, integrated drivers from help thread, integrated drivers from nvidia 5.11 drivers appropriate folder. (each attempt a fresh copy of winxp cd)Results = CD goes through setup to the point where it says "starting windows" , then it says it sees indistinguishable drives or raw drives, setup has fixed this problem, will continue. Then on reboot, it says i have no hard drives installed.also tried : same as above, but with OEM option on Unattended page set to disabled. Results = setup sees raid array, formats it ntfs (after i select that of course), then finsihes copying setup files, reboots, and the whole process continues in a loop, until i stop it. If I remove CD, when computer reboots, It hangs during boot sequence (right after screen displays Boot from CD).My Bios settings are good and correct. Have not changed them. I have also verified I can just install as normal, using win xp disk, and a usb floppy w/appropriate drivers. That of course, was not the point of this excercise I have tried every option i found listed on the help thread concerning slipstreaming sata raid drivers into the mix, each time per instructions and on a fresh go. What am I doing wrong, I am up for some Q&A to figure it out ?Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewwinxp2 Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 Hello again. Is there any advice for this ? Or, is the answer that, sometimes integration of the sata/raid parts won't work, even if you do it "right"? I read the excellent post Fernando made on this very subject, the sticky, I still cant get it to work that way. The rest of it all, being able to take all the crap out of windows that I do not want, is awesome. Thank you very much for all the work on NLite.-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPC-001 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 i have a similar issue, but not in a raid setup... all my hotfixes i have in my svcpack are nlited into my xp sp2 cd and i made the iso via cdimage.exe as i always done mu unatteanded cd's. but after the initial setup, the part where it finishes the file copying, it gets stuck in a setup is being restarted loop reboot after it restarts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
