Recommended Posts

Posted

hi guys, i've been trying to work the driver integration but i'm getting restart loops when i turn on the system when installed with the driver slipstreamed windows xp sp2.... i put the files in the $OEM$/$1/Drivers Directory and the system actually can load the drivers and detect the raid system but once installed the restart loops occur... pls guide me step by step installation... and is unattended installation complusary? thanks in advance..

XPCREATE takes care of getting the "text-mode" driver setup. Afterwards, the driver in OEMPnPDriversPath is loaded. It sounds like this is where your re-booting is occuring. There is really nothing XPCREATE can do at that point. It could be incorrect drivers, unsigned drivers, or some hardware issue. Do those drivers work with the F6 method?

the f6 method works fine... i only included the drivers for RAID in OEMPnPdrivers in WINNT.sif, is that fine? also where u find the files to create the WINNT.sif? I accdentally deleted mine...

I would certainly add everything on the working floppy. It could be one of the "other" files that are missing.

You can find SETUPMGR.EXE in the SUPPORT\TOOLS\DEPLOY.CAB file on the Windows CD.

Oh yeah ... Welcome to MSFN, ngtzewei!
