Hi

I know this has been talked about in other posts with regards to xpcreate but I would like to know if what i am doing is correct when not using xpcreate and just modifying the winnt.sif and txtsetup.sif files. I have tried the drivers with the F6 setup and they work. My system setup is two 160GB SATA drives with Raid 0. My textsetup.oem gives the following:

[scsi]

RAIDCLASS = "NVIDIA RAID CLASS DRIVER (required)"

BUSDRV = "NVIDIA NForce Storage Controller (required)"

[HardwareIds.scsi.RAIDCLASS]

id = "GenNvRaidDisk","nvraid"

id = "*_NVRAIDBUS","nvraid"

[HardwareIds.scsi.BUSDRV]

id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_008E", "nvatabus"

id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0085", "nvatabus"

id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00D5", "nvatabus"

id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00EE", "nvatabus"

id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00E3", "nvatabus"

id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00E5", "nvatabus"

id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0035", "nvatabus"

id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0036", "nvatabus"

id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_003E", "nvatabus"

id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0053", "nvatabus"

id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0054", "nvatabus"

id = "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0055", "nvatabus"

I have therefore added the following to the end of the txtsetup.sif file:

[sourceDisksFiles]

nvraid.sys=1,,,,,,3_,4,1

NvAtaBus.sys=1,,,,,,3_,4,1

[HardwareIdsDatabase]

GenNvRaidDisk="RAIDCLASS"

*_NVRAIDBUS="RAIDCLASS"

PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_008E="BUSDRV"

PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0085="BUSDRV"

PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00D5="BUSDRV"

PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00EE="BUSDRV"

PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00E3="BUSDRV"

PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00E5="BUSDRV"

PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0035="BUSDRV"

PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0036="BUSDRV"

PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_003E="BUSDRV"

PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0053="BUSDRV"

PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0054="BUSDRV"

PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0055="BUSDRV"

[sCSI.load]

RAIDCLASS=nvraid.sys,4

BUSDRV=NvAtaBus.sys,4

[scsi]

RAIDCLASS = "NVIDIA RAID CLASS DRIVER (required)"

BUSDRV = "NVIDIA NForce Storage Controller (required)"

Is this correct? The drivers load in the windows setup but after a while a blue screen pops up with errors about windows being shut down to prevent damage. Am I doing something incorrect or am I using the wrong drivers. Please help.

Thank You Kindly

thy this

[HardwareIdsDatabase]

PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_008E = "nvatabus"

PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0085 = "nvatabus"

PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00D5 = "nvatabus"

PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00E3 = "nvatabus"

PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00E5 = "nvatabus"

this is the only one we differ and mine works.Also note that you should always use a space before and after an = symbol

you write NvAtaBus.sys=1,,,,,,3_,4,1

it should be NvAtaBus.sys = 1,,,,,,3_,4,1

Good luck

Hi

Thanks for the suggestion. Will try. In the meantime i tried the following:

[sourceDisksFiles]

nvatabus.sys = 1,,,,,,4_,4,1,,,1,4

nvraid.sys = 1,,,,,,4_,4,1,,,1,4

[HardwareIdsDatabase]

PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_008E = "nvatabus"

PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0085 = "nvatabus"

PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00D5 = "nvatabus"

PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00EE = "nvatabus"

PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00E3 = "nvatabus"

PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00E5 = "nvatabus"

*_NVRAIDBUS = "nvraid"

GenNvRaidDisk = "nvraid"

[sCSI.load]

nvatabus = nvatabus.sys,4

nvraid = nvraid.sys,4

[sCSI]

nvatabus = "NVIDIA NForce Storage Controller"

nvraid = "NVIDIA RAID CLASS DRIVER"

everything works fine, sees partitions etc. However I already have the RAID setup and just to test I allow the setup to get to the patition screen (It never used to get there before) and I press F3 to quit and not continue the setup. Windows restarts and I get the dreaded Blue screen. What is the issue with the nvidia driver? Could it be that I am missing something?
