SATA II Drivers & NLite

[Benetnach]

Hello to everybody, I'm new on this forum.

I found here a lot of information to make my customized unnatended xp cd.

I recently bought a Gateway GT4222m desktop which contail two WD 500GB SATA II Drives and I add one more WD SATA 160gb in which the windows vista Home Premium is installed. (OEM Version).

I want to change my OS to Win XP because most of my programs works better on xp than vista, and I manage too much data between this pc and a server i own oveer a network. (Rendering of video)

This PC does not have floppy disk, so I can't install SATA drivers via F6 Method.

I was checking the guide for Nlite unnatended installation and found that we can include the specific SATA drivers adding some lines in the txtsetup.sif.

I try several times doing this method but without any result.

My sata controller is an intel matrix ich8r / ich9r on a G33 Chipset.

When I try to boot from ISO cd it send me an error that say:

the entry "ntkrnlmp.exe"in section [sourceDiskFiles] of the INF File does not exist or is damaged.

so my question is:

Anybody have a idea which is the error.

for reference I attach the sif file.

Thanks in Advance for the help.

There is a MASSIVE error in this file.

Search for zlogic.cyz = 1,,,,,,,,3,3

The next line is 1394\609E&10483 = "sbp2port" !!

There needs to be a [HardwareIdsDatabase] header at the top of this section.

You also have to put the Hardware ID data in here from your txtsetup.oem driver file so that your SATA chipset is detected.

If you did not edit this file at all, then this might be a bug in nLite. Do a text search for "HardwareIdsDatabase" and it doesn't appear in the file! Something's seriously wrong.

These TXTSETUP files in XP are a total mess, and about 50% of the file can be deleted -- entire sections. Although I won't be able to get to it until after the weekend, if you want to send me or post your pre-nLite TXTSETUP, I can clean it up so that it's still nLite compatable but WAY easier to troubleshoot.

Thanks a lot FDV.

I don't know very much of this topic, I've made other N-lite customized Xp Cd but never tuch this file.

Here is the Sif file you request.

Anyway, I will retry by myself today, but if you can help me checking the Sif file.

I hope that installing windows xp in a virtual machine isn't the only way to use it.

I apreciate your help.

Thanks!

There is no need to edit any SIF file.

You obviously have a computer with an Intel chipset, the S-ATA hdd is connected to an Intel ICH8R S-ATA Controller.

Why don't you just create a bootable XP CD with integrated Intel S-ATA driver by using nLite according this guide?

Hello.

Thanks fernando for your help.

I try to do as your tutorial say, but i get the same problem:

the BSOD send me the same error: 0x0000007 that is a error on hard drive.

I try with all the drivers selected on nlite, (Incude the Jmicron).

Maybe the procedure works only for SATA (150mb/s) hard drivers, I use SATA II, but this is only a think.

Anyway y will keep looking for myself and checking here in the post for new comments.

I think, that you only need to choose the third of the listed Intel Controllers named "Intel® 82801HEM/HBM SATA AHCI Controller (Mobile ICH8M-E/M)", when you get the popup window while integrating of the textmode driver.

Maybe the procedure works only for SATA (150mb/s) hard drivers, I use SATA II, but this is only a think.

No, it works fine for SATA II.

Hello Fernando.

I tried all drivers one by one and have the same result (BSOD 0x0000007)

A friend have a similar motherboard with the same sata chip controller (ICH8R/ICH9R),

he can do a fresh install of win XP just changing in the BIOS the detection of HD to legacy and IDE.

I try to do the same but nothing happen, it not work for me. (I have envy)

I continue looking any other configuration.

Thanks!

There must be an option within your BIOS to disable AHCI and to run the S-ATA Controller in IDE mode.

After having switched the S-ATA mode from AHCI to IDE mode you should be able to get XP installed without any problems by booting off the original (not nLited) XP SP2 CD.

[Benetnach]

Anyway, doing this will slowdown my drives, the transfer rate of sata II is about 3gb/s the IDE is in bet of cases 133mb/s.

This will increase the render jobs in my video projects.

I will try to install the sata II on xp.

Thanks!

Stop.

Everyone... just stop.

Download his TXTSETUP file.

Then re-read my post.

HIS FILE IS CORRUPTED. Without the [HardwareIdsDatabase] header ANYWHERE in the file, there will be no devices that will be detected by XP at installation time. So he tries it with nLite automatically, and it still doesn't work. Time to tell him to post his TXTSETUP file after nLite has integrated the drivers. It's called troubleshooting, and you guys do a real disservice to posters when you make recommendations without analyzing the problem they're having by reading the file(s) they post.

Benetnach, post the TXTSETUP file after you tried nLite's automatic driver integration, and let's see what's happening.

What are you expecting?

You already have written, that the TXTSETUP.SIF file edited by Benetnach wouldn't work. That is why I recommended to let nLite do this job.

If nLite would not be able to do the correct settings within the TXTSETUP.SIF file, none of the big amount of nLite users would have succeeded with the integration of the Intel S-ATA driver.

It seems to me, that Benetnach isn't sure himself, which sort of S-ATA Controller his system actually is using:

My sata controller is an intel matrix ich8r / ich9r on a G33 Chipset.

Is it ICH8R or ICH9R or even a JMicron Controller?

EDIT: I just have seen, that this is my post no 1000 - as times go by....

Hello, I hope everyone are fine.

I try all the drivers fernando, I'm sure that the correct driver is the Intel ICH8R /ICH9R.

The device manager on vista display it.

I try again and again sunday until 2:00am without result.

FDV, Thanks for your response.

I will upload the SIf file until afternoon because I'm on job.

If I can upload before I will do it.

Thanks to everyone.

EDIT: Finaly I'm on home.

FDV,

Here is the Sif file after nlite process.
