how does nlite slipstream on xp x64?

[banzemanga]

Hello, i have been trying to slipstream intel Mass Storage Manager's AHCI drivers into my Windows XP Pro x64 CD.

Here is the topic i created some time ago but no one replied (i wonder if i posted it in the wrong section)

http://www.msfn.org/board/Unable-to-slipst...Wi-t117304.html

(i will summarize the old post here so that there is no need to read it)

I know that nLite was able to slipstream the drivers successfully, but i want to do it manually so i am asking the experts of nLite here how is it done? (or anybody who were able to slipstream it manually in the past)

The reason i want to do it manually is because if i slipstream it with nLite and have Windows running; when i try to change the regional language, it asks me for the windows cd and it has to be there. Otherwise i can't change the language but if i do it manually, i can change the regional language the regional language and ask me for the cd but i press ok without the windows cd and it would change without problems.

I have grown tied to trying all kinds of things, i have lost count of how many cd i used (over 40 of them for sure).

-The different methods i have been trying include:

-modifying txtsetup.sif

-modifying winnt.sif (using [MassStorageDevices], [OEMBootFiles], OEMPnPPath)

-modifying hivesys.inf and setupreg.hiv

-modifying txtsetup.oem when using OEMBootFiles

-using compressed cab and uncompressed drivers

-putting drivers in different locations root\$OEM$\...., amd64\(w/o)$OEM$\(w/o)TEXTMODE\, i386\(w/o)$OEM$\(w/o)TEXTMODE\....

-and many other combinations i might have forgotten to mention

I know that nLite modifies txtsetup.sif and add the drivers under amd64\nldrv but i also see that it actually changes some dll files during the process (probably causing the regional language tweak). So i wonder what i have done incorrectly.

-If i try the MassStorageDevices "= Retail" and specify them on txtsetup, it recognizes the ahci drivers for the setup but it installs ide drivers and after the installation and first time running windows will give me a blue screen. I know ide is installed because if i switch my harddrive to ide mode it runs without problem (but slower)

-If i try the MassStorageDevices + OEMBootFiles, it gives me an error loading txtsetup.oem (18) in oemdisk.c

-Other methods give me the same problem as being able to recognize it for the windows installation but installs the ide drivers and after installation blue screen.

Here are the links of the different methods i have been trying:
