Can't Get SATA Drivers Installed Without BSOD

[kapsz28]

To make it simple, I'll just go by these instructions. http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/v...acf39e0f24e191/

I've tried variations which include using the TEXTMODE folder and TXTSETUP.OEM file, but nothing has been successful. Here is where I currently stand following the directions above.

TXTSETUP.SIF

[SourceDisksFiles]
iastor.sys   = 1,,,,,,3_,4,1

[HardwareIdsDatabase]
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2682&CC_0104 = "iastor"
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C3&CC_0104 = "iastor"
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C6&CC_0104 = "iastor"
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2822&CC_0104 = "iastor"
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_282A&CC_0104 = "iastor"

[SCSI.Load]
iastor = iastor.sys,4

[SCSI]
iastor = "Intel® ICH8M-E/ICH9M-E/5 Series SATA RAID Controller"

Drivers are located in C:\XPSETUP\I386\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\Intel\SATA

iaAHCI.cat

iaAHCI.inf

iaStor.cat

iaStor.inf

iaStor.sys

WINNT.SIF

[Unattended]
    UnattendMode=FullUnattended
    OemSkipEula=Yes
    OemPreinstall=Yes
    WaitForReboot="No"
    OemPnPDriversPath = "Drivers\Intel\SATA"
    DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
    TargetPath=\WINDOWS

And I also did step 4 to MAKECAB and compress iastor.sys to IASTOR.SY_ into the I386 folder.

During the Windows Setup you can see that the correct driver is loaded. "Intel® ICH8M-E/ICH9M-E/5 Series SATA RAID Controller" Obviously it is loading the SATA driver, otherwise I wouldn't even see the hard drive during the partition setup. After the drive formats, Windows appears to install successfully until its final reboot. That is when the BSOD appears and it just reboots. It seems that the driver is loading during the initial setup, but not being installed after the drive is formatted.

When I used TEXTMODE and the TXTSETUP.OEM file, I make it to the first "Windows is Starting" during the initial setup and then get an message stating there is an error on line 1. My TXTSETUP.OEM file hasn't been modified at all and starts with the following.

TXTSETUP.OEM

[Disks]
disk1 = "Intel® Rapid Storage Technology Driver", iaStor.sys, \

[Defaults]
scsi = iaStor_8ME9ME5

So what am I missing? It works fine if I use nLite, but I want to do it this way since it is for a corporation and we are also using sysprep.

This is for XP Pro SP3. After everything is done locally, I am using ImgBurn to make the CD.

Hi,

I'm not a fan of 3rd-party tools, but to integrate a controller-driver without getting a BSOD, use nLite.

It worked very fine for me on many different storage-drivers etc.
