Norton Ghost 9 SATA drivers

[Brian K]

How do you add SATA drivers to the Ghost 9 CD so that a floppy isn't required (Press F6)?

I've searched through many forums and still haven't found an answer. It can be done easily with BartPE.

i think u can do that with nlite

[Brian K]

Good thought but I couldn't get nLite to work with the Ghost 9 files, only with WinXP files. Am I missing something?

You need modify txtsetup.sif for this.I'm using this way every xp or winpe cd.I don't remember check my replies.

Sounds promising but I couldn't find anything I could use. Have you done it with Ghost 9?

[scankurban]

There is not only about ghost 9 recovery cd.its a standart prodecure.

2k-XP-2003, hp recovery cd,ghost recovery cd,winpe,xpe;they have same way

copy txtsetup.sif file in your computer from cd.open it any editor,find and update lines like this example.

[sourceDisksFiles]

viamraid.sys = 1,,,,,,3_,4,1,,,1,4(this "1,,,,,,3_,4,1,,,1,4" for 2003 but working for all)

[sCSI.Load]

viamraid = viamraid.sys,4

[sCSI]

viamraid = "Manually added ATA SATA RAID Controller"

update your i386 folder with edited txtsetup.sif and viamraid.sys

viamraid.sys=example via vt8237 sata controller file.Its for my machine

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. It's taken 6 months.

I have an Intel 82801FR SATA AHCI controller. I edited the txtsetup.sif to

[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,4

I also had to replace iastor.inf and iastor.sys with the most recent files.

Now I can see my HD's from the Ghost 9 Recovery Environment without having to Press F6.

Many thanks again scankurban.
