thebrinkster Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I've created a nlite installation disk from my Win XP Home (SP2) Recovery CD-ROM (which I believe is actually an WinXP SP installation disk in disguise).When I boot from my OEM CD, the Windows Text Setup starts and after loading drivers etc I get the option to delete the existing partition etc. When I boot from my nlite CD, I get hard disk not found - press F3 to quit.My system:o Motherboard: ASUS A8V Deluxe with: - VIA SATA RAID controller - non-RAID MAXTOR SATA hddHow I nlite'd:o copy content of WinXP installation disko slipstream SP3 (using nlite)o slipstream WMP11 (using boooggy's WMP11 slipstreamer)o select addons: IE7, dotNet, ...o select a few removals (none critical or blocked by app selection)o select a few tweaks o create ISOthen I test the ISO on virtual box, burn a cd with ImgBurn and finally test the CD with virtual box.All went well until I tried to boot the PC from the nlite disk for reel.I'm guessing the Windows installation is missing the VIA Raid driver - which lives in ...system32/DRIVERS/viasraid.sys (which I've also located on my installation CD in the following folders: I386, I386/NLDRV/001, $OEM/$1/DRIVERSThis is the first time I've tried to create an nlite installation disk, so any help with this problem would be appreciated.Thanks,Stewart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebrinkster Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 Hi Stoner81,Thanks for the quick response and solution - I'll have a look at the driverpacks site, read the tutorials etc before taking the plunge.I am still a little confused as to why my OEM (Recovery) CD can detect the hdd located on the VIA SATA controller, whilst the nLite CD cannot - any idea?Cheers,Stewart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxfutur Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Because your OEM CD already includes required drivers, while you don't work with a setupcd with integrated drivers or have a floppy disk on hand with drivers, there is no way to see HD.HD controllers (drivers) are required for "newer" hardware than the windows release you are working with.

thebrinkster Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 Because your OEM CD already includes required drivers...So the final question on this topic from me... if the OEM CD includes the required drivers, why doesn't the nLite CD (which uses the OEM CD as the starting point) include the required drivers?Cheers,Stewart (a confused newbie ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mooms Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 integrate them with the driver pack base, wich can be found at driverpacks.netnote; always integrate the drivers after your nLiting ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
