How do I integrate SATA drivers for a RIS based XP Pro setup?

Hi

Just wondering if anyone knows how to get RIS to work with SATA HDD and drivers?

I've extracted the OEM (Dell) supplied drivers to my RIS share and referenced the path to the drivers in my ristndrd.sif file. Unfortunately when the textmode setup runs and goes to scan for HDD it states it can't find any. So I'm guessing that its not using the SATA (ICH9) drivers I've included.

Do I need to be adding the included txtsetup.oem to the end of my txtsetup.sif on the RIS server?

The laptop is a Dell E6500.

RIS is running off a Win2k3 server imaging a laptop for WinXP Pro SP2.

RIS works if I set the laptop's SATA controller to ATA mode, but if its set to AHCI the setup fails to see the HDD.

Thanks

You need to edit txtsetup.sif

eg

[SourceDisksFiles]
iaStor.sys = 100,,,,,,3_,4,1,,,1,4

[HardwareIdsDatabase]
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2681&CC_0106 = "iaStor"
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2682&CC_0104 = "iaStor"
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_3A22&CC_0104 = "iaStor"
...

The HardwareID must be specified in the database above or else it will not find the hard drive.
