PhreeZ Posted July 27, 2005 Author Share Posted July 27, 2005 @dale5605:what symptoms are you experiencing that leads you to believe it didn't work?you can always use the OemInfFiles entries. i know those work with 7.13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dale5605 Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Right at the beginning, when windows is copying files it says "can't locate nvatabus" or something like that and it fails to install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dale5605 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I don't get it, this just doesn't work. I tried it again on x64 and followed the directions in your first post EXACTLY. Then when windows is first starting up (press F6 to install RAID drivers, etc.) that part of the install, it says "cannot find nvatax64.sys, press any key to restart your computer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dale5605 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 No I did not because I didn't see where it said to do that. Anyways I tried yet again this time I did like the last post where you pub sataraid folder into $1\DRIVERS\ instead of OEMDIR, on x64 this time and it worked. So I guess I did something wrong for x86 before and the first post method doesn't work at all for 6.66 drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbm Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I guess it doesn't exactlly tell you too, but these lines intxtsetup.sif are telling setup to copy these files from theAMD64 folder on your cd to winddows\system32\drivers on yourdrive. Also the first post references Green Machines page whichdoes tell you to copy the files. But green machines is for 32bit xp soyou have to make some adjustments for 64but xp. like using amd64 inplaceof i386. [SourceDisksFiles]nvatax64.sys = 1,,,,,,3_,4,1nvrdx64.sys = 1,,,,,,3_,4,1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dale5605 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Well I don't see why phreeze would explain each step but then leave one out. I mean usually when people post how to do something they say how to do it all instead of leaving out an entire critical step. I guess that's what confused me. Luckily this last time I followed the directions in his posting on the 2nd page which had the extra instuctions so it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackrip5 Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Hi @ll - i'm reading any forum i find speaking about this xp64 nvraid driver issue.In fact this OemInfFiles method seems to work (as far as i've read) but i'm asking myself (before beginning testing), does this method interfere with already existing OemPnPDriversPath entries in the winnt.sif ?? Does Windows still recognize other Hardware with the drivers included in OemPnPDriversPath ?? Thx for replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhreeZ Posted September 10, 2005 Author Share Posted September 10, 2005 @Jackrip5:if you are using this method to install on your NVRAID, it should not interfere with any existing OemPnPDriversPath entries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
