Multiple SATA/RAID Drivers

[wonkanoby]

Hi

a big thanks to one and all

im using XPCREATE to get around a bsod problem with f6 N-lite gave me

and have been succesfull in installing the promise drivers for the boards on board raid

its an MSI K7N2 DELTA ILSR

http://us-download.msi.com.tw/support/dvr_exe/37653.exe

I have two of these

and in my main pc i use a highpoint controller as i own no sata drives

the 3 rd ide only supports a single ide drive in raid

so to the cd i wish to and the high point drivers as well

can i just have 2x raid folders in the drivers folder

ie

RAIDP with the promise drivers in it and

RAIDH with the highpoint drivers in it

and add a second command like this to the .sif file

OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\RAIDP;Drivers\RAIDH;Driv.........ETC

It must be too early for me ... That looks like notes to yourself. Please post something that is a bit more grammatically correct, and I will try again to understand. (Proper capitalization, so I can know where the sentences start, propor line-spacing, so I will know where the paragraphs are, perhaps a touch of punctuation...)

Fair enough. That was not sarcasm: I cannot understand your post. If you don't want to make an effort ... count me out.

You want sarcasm ...

Yes, that should work fine, but don't forget to add it to your txtsetup.sif and put the files in your i386 directory to make it find the drives when booting.

Adding multiple SATA/RAID drivers as such is no problem, and XPCREATE independant. Integrating via XPCREATE requires the standard procrdure listed on the Web Site. The only risk is possible driver conflict. That happened to me when integrating all XPCREATE-known drivers.

I have two PCI based RAID controllers, and XPCREATE will definitely help you with this. I made it work without any trouble at all. The only problem I had was that I was booting off one of the RAID controllers, and the RAID controller with the boot drives needed to be in a PCI slot that was lower than the other controller. But this is a motherboard issue, and has nothing to do with XPCREATE.

good luck.

Thanks, jjn1056. So much Plug and Play, I'd nearly forgot all the old hardware tricks.
