Aland Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 Hi all and thnx for any replies.Ok heres the problem im trying to install raid drivers through the F-6 method when windows starts,but windows can not find the files on the floppy. The install works fine on the original xp cd.I have not remooved any of the original files to the cd. I have just slip streamed sp1a and the rest of the updates and created an $OEM$ folder. Plese help me climb this last mountain
jdoe Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 Verify that you have an INF file on your raid drivers floppy.Drivers are installed by INF'sI don't think you should search for a problem anywhere else.
Aland Posted August 22, 2004 Author Posted August 22, 2004 SWEET you are absolutly correct the OEM floppy dous not have that file so now how do i add one to it that works ? Half way up that mountain
Aland Posted August 22, 2004 Author Posted August 22, 2004 Hmm last second thought if it is an INF problem why would it install from the floppy on the regular xp and not the slipstreamed one ? Did i just fall back down the mountain
jdoe Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 What do you mean...I suggest to go to your raid controller manufacturer and download the latest driver available. It should contain the files and the INF needed (copy these files on a floppy disk). You will be able to use the F6 to install you driver.Or you could slipstreamed your raid drivers into your installation CD. There's a link to show you how to...Slipstreaming SATA/RAID Drivers
Aland Posted August 22, 2004 Author Posted August 22, 2004 what i mean is the floppy i used works fine with the non slipstreamed unattend windows cd. its the unattended windows that wont accept any drivers from the floppy drive. and i dounloaded the most recent drivers and the inf is not in them? Big mountain
Aland Posted August 22, 2004 Author Posted August 22, 2004 Ok my bad the .INF file is in them but it still dont work ?
jrzycrim Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 You might want to check out the Device Drivers forum. There is a sticky for unattended raid installation and some other threads relating to this topic. I'm sure someone there can lend you a hand as well.http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showforum=88
jdoe Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 Well I'm out of ideas. If it work with the original CD and not the slipstreamed it's maybe something about sp1a. Try with SP2.Wait for other post maybe someone who had this problem in the past will be able to help you more.Good luck
