Pyr0 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 i was just wondering if anybody had managed to integrate the nvidia sata raid drivers into the install?i started to look int this a couple of days ago, but so far i haven't been able to do it myself.i think my problem is to do with the naming of the drivers (internal, driver, and friendly)in the txtsetup.sif filebut i don't really know???at the moment when it starts the windows setup i don't get any errors, but it doesn't see my raid drives either i know i've messed something up, but i'm just too stupid to see it i got this info. from the txtsetup.oem file[Files.scsi.RAIDCLASS]driver = d1,nvraid.sys,RAIDCLASSinf = d1,nvraid.infdll = d1,nvraidco.dllcatalog = d1,nvraid.cat[Files.scsi.BUSDRV]driver = d1,nvatabus.sys,BUSDRVinf = d1, nvatabus.infdll = d1,idecoi.dllcatalog = d1, nvata.catid = "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 presume that the naming is something like:driver names nvraid.sys & nvatabus.sysinternal driver names: RAIDCLASS & BUSDRVfriendly names = RAIDCLASS = "NVIDIA RAID CLASS DRIVER (required)" BUSDRV = "NVIDIA NForce Storage Controller (required)"and so from that i added these lines to the TXTSETUP.SIF file[sourceDisksFiles]nvraid.sys = 1,,,,,,3_,4,1,,,1,4nvraid.inf = 1,,,,,,,20,0,0 nvatabus.sys = 1,,,,,,3_,4,1,,,1,4nvatabus.inf = 1,,,,,,,20,0,0 [HardwareIdsDatabase]GenNvRaidDisk = "nvraid"_NVRAIDBUS = "nvraid"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"PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0035 = "nvatabus"PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0036 = "nvatabus"PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_003E = "nvatabus"PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0053 = "nvatabus"PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0054 = "nvatabus"PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0055 = "nvatabus"[sCSI.Load]atapi = atapi.sys,4nvraid = nvraid.sys,4nvatabus = nvatabus.sys,4[sCSI]nvraid = "NVIDIA RAID CLASS DRIVER (required)"nvatabus = "NVIDIA NForce Storage Controller (required)"and i copied all the driver files to the amd64 folderplease help me i'm going mad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big poppa pump Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 None of these beta drivers are going to work since none of them are whql and have a valid cat file. XP64 already comes with built in support for nvidia nforce3 support. These drivers will be given preference no matter which beta drives you use. The only way to get around this and do a proper install is to either have drivers that are whql'd or hack files in x64 that disables the built-in nforce3 support and thus the installation starts looking for the drivers at an alternative location.

Pyr0 Posted May 10, 2005 Author Share Posted May 10, 2005 if that was the case then how have we been able to use beta drivers to install windows xp x64 in the past? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbm Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 if that was the case then how have we been able to use beta drivers to install windows xp x64 in the past?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>What he's saying is the inorder for drivers to be integrated on the CD theyneed to have beed signed and have a .cat file with them. I can use bothNvidia and Silicon Image beta drivers if I use a floppy and F6. But they don'twork if I try to integrate them on a 64XP CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big poppa pump Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 And none of them are going to have one till the time nvidia releases an official set of drivrs for the x64 edition. However......there are other ways around!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyr0 Posted May 10, 2005 Author Share Posted May 10, 2005 ...Like using the cat files from 32bit??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbm Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 ...Like using the cat files from 32bit???<{POST_SNAPBACK}>That wouldn't work. The .cat or security catalog file is for a specificdriver. Also if you make any changes like edit the .inf file then the .catfile is again nogood. You also couldn't use a .cat file from a different64bit driver.
