Wolluf Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Have set up a 64 bit test machine with a SATA drive and no floppy (well, no permanent floppy) drive. Trying to create 64 bit XP install disk (evaluation copy currently) with the SATA drivers included. The SATA/RAID controller is silicon integrated systems (SiS) 965 (on an Asus K8S-MX board). I've succesfully created a 32 bit install with the drivers added, but doing exactly the same, but using the 64 bit driver doesn't work (no hard drive detected). If I connect a floppy drive and use F6 and the drivers on the floppy, it works - so driver is obviously ok. I did have some problems with the 32 bit too (if nothing else, took me a while to realise the RAID drivers were all that was needed. Also following different instructions on the web - but final working set up just meant adding the driver to \i386 and putting a few sections at the end of txtsetup.sif - ie, didn't use $OEM$\$1 or winnt.sif.So I tried the same for 64 bit (except used \amd64 of course). Then tried using OEM stuff - all no good. So wonder if anybody here has any ideas?btw - the 'floppy' drivers have this file/folder structure (I mention it as its not flat, and might have some bearing - and they're available from http://www.sis.com/download/download_step1.php if anyone want to see what they look like:-Sisraid - text fileTxtsetup.oem - text fileRAID - folder - srv2003 - folder (not interested for 64 bit) - winxp_2k - folder (not interested for 64 bit) - WS03XP64 - folder - sisraid.cat - sisraid2.inf - sisraid2.pdb - sisraid2.sys(the 32 bit has a property.dll instead of a sisraid2.pdb - but I got it to work with just sisraid2.sys)Thanks for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ji46 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Wolluf, has you will now know the 32 bit method for installing SATA/RAID drives doesn't work. Look at the (6) posts here and hopefully you will find a solution that works. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=47053. But be warned you will find it almost impossible to get 64 bit drivers for other devices! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
