I hate it, I hate it! It just don't works

[JamieWolf]

Hi Folks,

I just don't know what I'm doing wrong! Really!

I have a german XP Corparted Version of WinXP, I nLited it and then installed the complete driver Pack to be able to boot my SATA Controller and install WinXP.

But it just doesn't work

I have a VIA SATA Controller on Board on a MSI KT6 Delta FISR, but for some f***ing reason the CD doesn't load the drivers at the boot up process.

Need lots more info dude......Give us a peek at your winnt.sif and are All the .inf and related driver files in the proper folders: ie: $oem$\$\Drivers\

This is a peak in my winnt.sif

BTW I used the Driver Pack by Bas**** with the 1st Method.

[DigeratiPrime]

it looks like your using an outdated version of nLite.

Also why not try out Bâshrat the Sneaky's DriverPacks with Method 2, its very easy to use (i think easier) , and will save you much space over the Winnt.sif method.

I really reccomend it, give method 2 a shot.

[JamieWolf]

Okay, after I messed up my System, I'll give Method 2 a shot and hope that it works.

My main Problem always was/is that the MassStorage Drivers don't load at boot up. And I donno why ...

Are you sure you've properly patched your txtsetup.sif?

Also, I assume you aren't using winnt32.exe to intiate setup? If yes, then you'd also have to edit your dosnet.inf file!

[JamieWolf]

Nope, I don't use the winnt32 Method.

I boot with the CD and I also checked the txtsetup.sif and all lines were added properly!

But there is just one thingy thing.

I have a VIA Sata Raid Controller,p nothing wierd about that, but the drivers which U use are called: viamraid.sys

Mine are called viasraid.sys

I have attached my drivers, so U can have a look

im having the same probem with my sata drivers not loading at boot too. did everyting in the instructions and check txtsetup.sif and still doesn't work.

[Bâshrat the Sneaky]

I'm working on a huge update... Please do it manually for the moment, unless you can wait some time.

[z00mX]

hmm... how long a month

[Bâshrat the Sneaky]

hmm... how long a month 

I'm quite sure it won't take a month

Hello, I had the same problem when I was at this point of my DVD project, as I also have a Via Raid Setup on my MSI K8T-Neo-FIS2R.

I had to add 3 files to the C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\M\V\raid folder, they are;

viasraid.cat

VIASRAID.INF

viasraid.sys

After adding the above files it works great, no more having to press F6 & use a floppy disk

Hope this tip helps everyone else
