Arablover Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 I finally managed to install XP unattended on my Intel 875p notherboard.Everything worked as normal.But.................When I use the same unattended XP CD on a older PC (Intel 815 chipset), it will load in textmode all the drivers and then say that "setup is starting Windows" and then blue screen!This is JUST before the partitioning stage.On another even older computer (Pentium 166) it will go past this stage, complete the Windows section (39 minutes) and on reboot blue screen and reboot and blue screen again non stop until I turn the bloody thing off!Has anyone else experienced these problems?Do I have to have two separate unattended XP CD's? One for older computers and one for SATA computers?Please advise!Cheers.Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanVM Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 What drivers did you integrate? If you used my set, did you use the most recent one (with the txtsetup.sif patcher)? We were having other issues with BSODs that were being caused by Intel IDE drivers, so they were removed from the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arablover Posted April 19, 2004 Author Share Posted April 19, 2004 I used the set from the 17th of April.I went through txtsetup.sif and added and removed as necessary.Would you like me to send you a copy of my txtsetup.sif?Cheers.Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanVM Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Just remove the references to idebusdr from your txtsetup.sif. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arablover Posted April 19, 2004 Author Share Posted April 19, 2004 Just remove the references to idebusdr from your txtsetup.sif. Does this mean that all of the SATA controllers will work EXCEPT the Intel Intel 82801BA Ultra ATA Controller?Cheers.Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[BM]Crusher Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 just use standard txtsetup.sif and then only add in the ICH5R sata drivers (iaStor.sy_) and it will work on every computer...My disk has ICH5R, Via8237, Promise376 and Silicon3112 SATA/RAID drivers, added them all myself to the txtsetup.sif and everything works fine on every type of computer?

RyanVM Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 My suggestion is similar. I'd start with a clean txtsetup.sif file and then just download the new package which automatically updates txtsetup.sif without the problematic entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arablover Posted April 20, 2004 Author Share Posted April 20, 2004 The entry 3waregsm.sys in the [sourceDisksFiles] section of the inf is corrupt or missing.I downloaded the latest version of the drivers TODAY and started with a clean txtsetup.sif file.Ideas?Cheers.Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanVM Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 What build of XP are you using?And the CD works correctly with the 875 board still? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arablover Posted April 21, 2004 Author Share Posted April 21, 2004 I am using XP Pro SP1.I get the error: "The entry 3waregsm.sys in the [sourceDisksFiles] section of the inf is corrupt or missing" on ALL of my systems.Intel 875 and other various computers.Am I the only person experiencing this error?Cheers.Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanVM Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 If you're getting it on all systems, it might be a mistake on my end. I'll look into it tonight when I get home from work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanVM Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Arablover - it turns out I had a typo in the text file . It should be fixed now. Re-download the RAR archive and see how the new one works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
