Promise 378 SATA RAID integration

[Cyberblizzard]

I have a P4C800 Deluxe with onboard Promise PDC20378 controller and I would like to integrate the SATA RAID drivers in my installation. My previous motherboard was a P4P800 Deluxe and it was no problem to integrate the 'iastor'-drivers for the ICH5R southbridge but with this motherboard it won't work.

Is this enough for the file 'txtsetup.sif'??

[SourceDisksFiles] 
fasttx2k.sys = 1,,,,,,3_,4,1
ulSata.sys = 1,,,,,,3_,4,1

[HardwareIdsDatabase] 
PCI\VEN_105A&DEV_3376 = "fasttx2k"
PCI\VEN_105A&DEV_3373 = "fasttx2k"
PCI\VEN_105A&DEV_3373&SUBSYS_702E1462&REV_02 = "UlSata"
PCI\VEN_105A&DEV_3373&SUBSYS_702E1462 = "UlSata"

[SCSI.load] 
fasttx2k = fasttx2k.sys,4
ulSata = ulSata.sys,4

[SCSI] 
fasttx2k = "WinXP   Promise FastTrak 376/378 (tm) Controller"
UlSata   = "WinXP   Promise SATA378 (tm) Controller"

Do I need the 'ulsata'-driver? And which files do I need in the folders 'Drivers', 'Textmode' and 'I386'?

maybe 4_, not 3_...

[sourceDisksFiles]

fasttx2k.sys = 1,,,,,,4_,4,1

ulSata.sys = 1,,,,,,4_,4,1

and create $OEM$/$1/xxx and specify xxx as OemPnPDriversPath

in [unattended], WINNT.SIF & place PDC378 driver files in xxx

& *.sys in I386

----------------------------------------

OemPnPDriversPath=xxx

* $OEM$ should be created in root, where I386 folder is located.

Why 4 instead of 3? And do I need the Textmode-folder?

Looking up the documentation for '4 instead of 3', but I thought it was something of this kind: if set to 4, Windows setup sees it as a RAID driver, if set to 3 then...

Just do it, it's correct

About the textmode folder: that depends on what method you're using (see the sticky in the Device Drivers forum)
