injecting mass storage device drivers in to windows server 2003 media

[rajesh.it09]

Hi ,

i have tried so many ways integrating mass storage device drivers in to windows server 2003 media. So that i can eliminate using floppy by pressing F6 to install the mass storage drivers.

I modified txtsetup.sif file like below.

steps

1. Added the following for [sourceDisksFiles] section

PERCSAS.SYS = 1,,,,,,4_,4,1,,,1,4

2. Added the following values to [HardwareIdsDatabase] section

[HardwareIdsDatabase]

PCI\VEN_1028&DEV_0015&SUBSYS_1F011028 = "percsas"

PCI\VEN_1028&DEV_0015&SUBSYS_1F021028 = "percsas"

PCI\VEN_1028&DEV_0015&SUBSYS_1F031028 = "percsas"

PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0060&SUBSYS_1F0A1028 = "percsas"

PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0060&SUBSYS_1F0B1028 = "percsas"

PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0060&SUBSYS_1F0C1028 = "percsas"

PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0060&SUBSYS_1F0D1028 = "percsas"

PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0060&SUBSYS_1F111028 = "percsas"

3. Added below values to the [sCSI.Load] section

percsas = percsas.sys,4

4. Added below values to the [scsi] section

[sCSI]

percsas = "DELL PERC5 and PERC6/CERC6 RAID Controller Driver (Server 2003 32 bit)"

saved txtsetup.sif file and closed the file.

5. I have copied RAID (percsas) driver files to I386 folder of windows server 2003 CD content.

6. I prepared bootable CD for this windows server 2003 CD . i used this media on a Dell power edge 2900 machine.

when i used this windows server 2003 media on dell 2900 machine . It is detected hard drive and installation is success but getting one problem. In hte final step of installation machine will reboot once.

At this time machine is always restarting without launching welcome screen . I pressed F8 and selected safe mode in booting after showing acpitabl.dat file machine restart occurs.

Can any body help me to resolve this restart . The steps i followed are correct or not ?

I attached txtsetup.sif file also search for percsas.sys . this is the one i added to txtsetup.sif file.
