Sata Driver Help

[jondercik]

I am trying to slipstream the driver for my raid controller into my unattended build. It is a FastTrack raid controller. Below is the txtsetup.oem file. Please help me with what to add where.

[Disks]
d1 = "Promise FastTrak 376/378 Driver Diskette", \fasttx2k, \
d2 = "Promise FastTrak 376/378 Driver Diskette", \fasttx2k, \nt4
d3 = "Promise FastTrak 376/378 Driver Diskette", \fasttx2k, \Win2000
d4 = "Promise FastTrak 376/378 Driver Diskette", \fasttx2k, \WinXP
d5 = "Promise FastTrak 376/378 Driver Diskette", \fasttx2k, \Win2003

[Defaults]
scsi = FastTrak_TX2K_net

[scsi]
FastTrak_TX2K_xp = "WinXP Promise FastTrak 376/378 (tm) Controller", fasttx2k

[Files.scsi.FastTrak_TX2K_net]
driver = d5, fasttx2k.sys, fasttx2k
dll    = d5, ptipbmf.dll
inf    = d5, fasttx2k.inf
catalog= d5, fasttx2k.cat

[HardwareIds.scsi.FastTrak_TX2K_net]
id="PCI\VEN_105A&DEV_3376", "fasttx2k"
id="PCI\VEN_105A&DEV_3373", "fasttx2k"

[Files.scsi.FastTrak_TX2K_xp]
driver = d4, fasttx2k.sys, fasttx2k

Please read the Stickied guide, and if you still have questions then, you can ask them here.

[jondercik]

I have but this file is structured different than those in the guides

[Bâshrat the Sneaky]

And where is it different then?

Let's start with removing the entries we don't need:

[Disks]
d4 = "Promise FastTrak 376/378 Driver Diskette", \fasttx2k, \WinXP

[Defaults]
scsi = FastTrak_TX2K_net

[scsi]
FastTrak_TX2K_xp = "WinXP Promise FastTrak 376/378 (tm) Controller", fasttx2k

[Files.scsi.FastTrak_TX2K_xp]
driver = d4, fasttx2k.sys, fasttx2k
dll    = d4, ptipbmf.dll
inf    = d4, fasttx2k.inf
catalog= d4, fasttx2k.cat

[HardwareIds.scsi.FastTrak_TX2K_xp]
id="PCI\VEN_105A&DEV_3376", "fasttx2k"
id="PCI\VEN_105A&DEV_3373", "fasttx2k"

[Config.fasttx2k]
value = "", Tag, REG_DWORD, 1

Can you do the rest for yourself now? I.e. removing the subfolder structure.

I am also having an error without trying to slipstream the driver. When I use F6 to load the driver, it loads it to where it can find and format the hard drive, but when it goes to copy the files it cannot find fasttx2k.sys. This is an automated installation what would be causing this?

[Bâshrat the Sneaky]

hmmm... don't know... Did you already search for similar incidents with that controller?

Can anyone confirm this issue?

[jondercik]

Yes searching for fastrack or fastrack turns up nothing.

Something else that is interesting is this issue ONLY comes up when trying to do an automated install. When I do an install just using the floppy and an XP SP2 cd it works fine so the driver floppy is fine. The I386 folder is a direct copy off the CD. There is no mass storage section, or OEMBoot entries in winnt in sif.

It's FastTrak

You can try to find it in this search: link

Thanks for the link, I have looked at most of those.

Has anyone gotten the Promise Fastrak 376/378 working unattended in raid mode? Most of the responses here do not look too promising.

[jondercik]

I got it working last night. I will post what I did when I get home.
