You have to replace the PnPIDs as well.

There should be a txtsetup.oem file with the VIA drivers. Maybe not in the winxp directory, most likely one directory up. Open it, and copy the lines for the XP drivers that start with PCI\VEN into the HardwareIDsDatabase.

Thanks for the help.

I feel i'm getting somewhere now.

This is from the TXTsetup.oem

[HardwareIds.scsi.VIAPDSK_VT4149_2003IA32]id = "PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_4149","viapdsk"
[HardwareIds.scsi.VIAPDSK_VT4149_XP]id = "PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_4149","viapdsk"
[HardwareIds.scsi.VIAPDSK_VT4149_2K]id = "PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_4149","viapdsk"
[HardwareIds.scsi.VIARAID_VT3149_2003IA32]id = "PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3149","viasraid"
[HardwareIds.scsi.VIARAID_VT3149_XP]id = "PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3149","viasraid"
[HardwareIds.scsi.VIARAID_VT3149_2K]id = "PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3149","viasraid"

Now i am a little confused by the ends of the lines (as i can see other OS's) ie [HardwareIds.scsi.VIARAID_VT3149_2K] is that windows 2000?

would i be correct in saying i should only use the ones with XP above?

like this

[sourceDisksFiles]viasraid.sys = 1,,,,,,4_,4,1,,,1,4
PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_4149","viapdsk"PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3149","viasraid"
[sCSI.load]viasraid = viasraid.sys,4
[sCSI]viasraid = "Via SATARaid Controller"

and just incase i have this totally wrong here's the full txtsetup.oem

More like that. VIAPDISK is the ATA controller on the mobo, and VIASRAID is the SATA.

Ok done that

got this error straight away when i tried to boot from cdrom

Line 21764 of the INF file \i386\txtsetup.sif is invalid setup cannot continue.

this is the steps i took

(1) Moved the driver files :-

viasraid.cat

VIASRAID.INF

viasraid.sys

to

C:\XPCD\$oem$\$1\Drivers\SATA

(2) Added this to the winnt.sif

[Unattended]
    OemPreinstall=Yes
    OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\SATA\VIASRAID"

(3) Added this to the txtsetup.sif

[SourceDisksFiles]
viasraid.sys = 1,,,,,,4_,4,1,,,1,4
viapdsk.sys = 1,,,,,,4_,4,1,,,1,4

[HardwareIdsDatabase]
PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_4149" = "viapdsk"
PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3149" = "viasraid"

[SCSI.load]
viasraid = viasraid.sys,4
viapdsk = viapdsk.sys,4

[SCSI]
viasraid = "VIA Serial ATA RAID Controller"
viasraid = "VIA ATA/ATAPI Host Controller"

(4) Created the viasraid.SY_ file using

MAKECAB c:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\DRIVERS\SATA\viasraid.sys c:\done\viasraid.SY_

then moved the viasraid.SY_ to the i386 folder

ideas?

Cheers

**Old-Man** · May 27, 2004

oh yes line 21764 starts

PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_4149" = "viapdsk"

**Alanoll** · May 27, 2004

remove the " just BEFORE the =

**Old-Man** · May 27, 2004

i think it's nearly done

new error ..

viapdsk.sys could not be found

would i be correct in saying i put them in the drivers folder?

or

should i do this

MAKECAB C:\XPCD\$oem$\$1\Drivers\SATA\viapdsk.sys c:\done\viapdsk.SY_

then move to i386?

i think i'm actaully learning now

**[BM]Crusher** · May 27, 2004

what is viapdsk?

i don't have that in mine to enable via sata raid to work...

here's a quick instruction for via sata raid:

1) edit txtsetup.sif, copy this and paste it at the bottom of your file (but not after the EOF little box looking character)

[SourceDisksFiles]
viasraid.sys = 1,,,,,,4_,4,1,,,1,4

[HardwareIdsDatabase]
PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3149 = "viasraid"

[SCSI.load]
viasraid = viasraid.sys,4

[SCSI]
viasraid = "VIA Serial ATA RAID Controller"

2) MAKECAB viasraid.sys viasraid.sy_

copy the viasraid.sy_ file to your I386 folder

3) Copy the folder containing viasraid.sys off the floppy disk into $OEM$\$1\Drivers\Viasraid, it should have some other files too (same process as Silicon Image driver)

4) edit winnt.sif to have "Drivers\3112;Drivers\Viasraid" (assuming you have both 3112 and via raid drivers on the one disk)

this works for me and I have tested with ABIT KV7 and ABIT KV8 series of mainboards

**[BM]Crusher** · May 28, 2004

how'd you go with the VIA sata raid drivers Old-Man?

still having problems with your application install batch?

**Old-Man** · May 28, 2004

IT WORKS**

Thanks to everyone for the help!

Altho i do get 1 small error

Setup cannot find the file MONITOR7.IN_

I have tested it twice and confirmed the file is on the cd ( I386\MONITOR7.IN_ )

could this be a CRC (yes i'm learning the technical phrases now)

Also on a second note could I use Via Raid and Silicon (nforce2) on the same cd?

Would i have to select which on manually to install or would XP find the correct one?

Actually i have soo many questions i'll write a list

**Alanoll** · May 28, 2004

you can add as many drivers as you want. Make sure the PnPIDs are differnt. Windows will only use the ones that are neccesary adn they won't conflict with eachother.

As for Monitor7.inf, check both TXTSETUP.SIF and DOSNET.INF to make sure its listed in them BOTH. If not, there's your problem. It's probally an error in DOSNET.INF.

**Old-Man** · May 28, 2004

Once again thans for the reply

Yes monitor7.inf is in both dosnet and txtsetup

i'm going to try another cd incase thats the problem

will report back tomorrow

**lallius** · June 12, 2004

It seems what you need isn't an unattended XP cd, You'ld be better of with cloning/backup software such as norton ghost or Powerquest deploycentre.

Norton ghost or Powerquest will take up about 15 minutes to restore your entire windows installation including additional software like office, games and other 3rd company apps (provided you have a extra partition with enough space).

Unattended xp cd is a great concept, but I believe clone/backup software is a better alternative to suit your situation.

regards......
