arnebjarnesius Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 I'm considering to slipstream SATA drivers on to my unattended Xp SP2 unsing the method described in the following link http://greenmachine.msfnhosting.com/READING/addraid.htmMy concers are that I do not have SATA drivers now, but I bilive I'll have it in the future. So can I integrate SATA drivers and still use the unattended DVD on my non SATA computer? I have read threads about the SATA drivers, but cound't find an answer to my question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edmoncu Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 integrating it won't be a problem even if you don't have the hardware now. an example of this method is done by bashrat over this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnebjarnesius Posted September 22, 2004 Author Share Posted September 22, 2004 but will the SATA drive(s) be recognized during the install, so that Windows can be installed on the SATA drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Hey, its like this:You have the SATA drivers for controller XYZ integrated.Now after that, if that controller is not detected on a PC, its not used that's all.If the controller is found to be present, its used.So integrated SATA controller drivers is no problem on a non-SATA system. Is this what you wanted to know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edmoncu Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 but if you'll be installing a controller later from an existing XP installation where an installer used has a modified driver set, the integrated drivers won't be used as XP will still ask for a driver.

arnebjarnesius Posted September 22, 2004 Author Share Posted September 22, 2004 I'll just follow the method described in the link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanVM Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 If slipstreaming drivers for MassStorage controllers you don't have was an issue, you'd be in a world of hurt. Ever notice all the RAID/SCSI controller drivers loaded by default at the beginning of textmode setup? All you're doing is adding one more.

arnebjarnesius Posted September 23, 2004 Author Share Posted September 23, 2004 I guess there is no reason to add them then? If the default setting has enough drivers to handle most SATA drives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 It depends on the controller you need to be supported... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnebjarnesius Posted September 23, 2004 Author Share Posted September 23, 2004 Of course but is default sufficient for an average PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buletov Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Of course but is default sufficient for an average PC?what do you mean by average?first of all, average pc doesn't yet have sata as a defaultand all the standard (and less standard) sata / raid controlers are inclued in Bâshrat the Sneaky's driver pack, which integrates into your win setup with a few mouse clicks and minor editing of a single file...
