andyp2004 Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 HiI have an unattended SP2 install CD that has worked many times until I tried it on my new PC (Asus P5GDC deluxe based)It is set up so I can press F6 to install SATA drivers (I have NOT slipstreamed them) but when I press F6 for AHCI SATA (non-RAID) drivers it recognises the floppy and reads the driver, allowing me to see the installed partitions but when I select one (C:) to install I get the error iastor.sys cannot be copied (the floppy is in the drive and readable).It DOES work when using a non-unattended XP CD. Where should I look to sort this error out?What further info can I provide?Thanks,Regards,Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcemanND Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 you can't use F6 to install drivers with and unattended install cd. INtegrate them and be done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyp2004 Posted April 5, 2005 Author Share Posted April 5, 2005 Have been trying that.Have triedhttp://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=39032with no success; and read http://greenmachine.msfnhosting.com/READING/addraid.htmwith no further help. It gets as far as loading the drivers (in textmode) and says cannot find iastor.sys and ends the installation.Help!THanksAndy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcemanND Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 I have the same drive for my Gigabyte board. I had the same problems with it. When I get home I'll post the info on how I got it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IcemanND Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Sorry it took so long, had to reload my machine.create $oem$\drivers\IAA and copy contents of floppy here.add path to OemPnpDriversPath in winnt.sifuse makecab.exe on iastor.sysmove iastor.sy_ to i386 folderadd the following to txtsetup.sif either all at the end or you can add these entries to their respective sections already there. (the default iaStor_ICH6R as a driver name does not seem to work, 8 letter limit? changed to iaStor and problem went away.)[SCSI]iaStor = "Intel(R) 82801FR/82801ER/6300ESB SATA RAID Controller"[SourceDisksFiles]iastor.sys = 1,,,,,,3_,4,1[HardwareIdsDatabase]PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2652&CC_0104 = "iaStor"[SCSI.load]iaStor = iastor.sys,4Any questions let me know.

andyp2004 Posted April 6, 2005 Author Share Posted April 6, 2005 Do I need any specific changes for AHCI and not RAID??THanksANdy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcemanND Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 I haven't tried it since I only use mine in a RAID, but all you should have to do is change the entries in txtsetup.sif to this, all other instructions are the same:[SCSI]iaAHCI = "Intel(R) 82801FR SATA AHCI Controller (Desktop ICH6R)"[SourceDisksFiles]iastor.sys = 1,,,,,,3_,4,1[HardwareIdsDatabase]PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2652&CC_0106 = "iaAHCI"[SCSI.load]iaAHCI = iastor.sys,4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyp2004 Posted April 8, 2005 Author Share Posted April 8, 2005 Hi,Have just tried and it gets to the end of the textmode driver install and it says it can find no hard disk drives. Aarrgghh!!Help,Thanks,AndyNB - However if I press F6, it says <none> for mass storage devices detected, but if I select it from the list it says windows already has a driver and I should use that!!!

SilverHaze420 Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 just delete winnt.sif and you will be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyp2004 Posted April 8, 2005 Author Share Posted April 8, 2005 Isn't winnt.sif the whole automated bit??ANdy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyp2004 Posted April 8, 2005 Author Share Posted April 8, 2005 Think I have solved it with this[sCSI]iaStor = "Intel® 82801FR SATA AHCI Controller (Desktop ICH6R)"[sourceDisksFiles]iastor.sys = 1,,,,,,3_,4,1[HardwareIdsDatabase]PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2652&CC_0106 = "iaStor"[sCSI.load]iaStor = iastor.sys,4CheersAndy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
