nalanthi Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 i made a bit of progress... this time i used the XP 6.85 drivers and got a little more than a lockup... after the "Press any key to boot from CD..." prompt, i got about 8 lines of the following character: âaka:ââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nalanthi Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 (edited) both 6.70 and 6.85 failed... i'm trying 6.70 one more time by rebuilding the array and trying again. but i don't really have high hopes at this point.

nalanthi Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 uh.......... very strange. for a minute there i gave up. i disabled the array and attempted to install a plain SP1 unattended slipstream install of 2k3. but for some reason, i got a very similar error "error loading operating system"crud. what have i done?

After having disabled your P-ATA RAID array, did you readapt your BIOS settings, especially the RAID settings and the boot order of your hard disk devices?What about the MBR? Is it healthy and still on your first IDE hdd?My suggestion, when everything else fails: Unplug all not needed hdd's during the W2k3 installation and reconnect them, when you got a perfect running OS.

nidhanwala Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 After racking my brain for three days now, I've finally tried everything I can think of. First, let me begin with what I'm trying to do, and what I have tried so far.I have Windows XP MCE (Media Center V3.0), which for this purpose is basically XP Pro SP2 (correct me if I'm wrong). I want to integrate the nVidia SATARAID drivers to my CD, but every time I attempt to do so, I get a "Parameter is incorrect" error (at least twice, when it's trying to integrate the SATARAID drivers).I have tried using various drivers from 6.70, 6.85, and 6.86 to no avail.I have tried using nLite 1.3RC2 as well as nLite 1.2.1.I have tried to integrate only using the SATARAID drivers (no other integration/modification).I have tried using the LEGACY directory.I have tried using the old method (Driver-Suppression/Removal-Method) where I use various files from the LEGACY and SATAIDE folders to supplement the SATARAID folder.No matter what I've done, I keep getting these errors "Parameter is incorrect" when nLite reaches the 'driver integration' step.I have an A8N-SLI Premium motherboard with the latest BIOS and up-to-date RAID BIOS.Please HELP!!!!!!!

If you want to create an nLited CD, your source should be a clean OS CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando 1 Posted January 27, 2007 Author Share Posted January 27, 2007 what do you mean by the fact that the MCE CD is already modified... it's a clean copy with no additions other than the SATARAID drivers...You should never nLite a Cd which was already nLited or modified by another tool.Take a clean OS source and copy the CD content into a directory of your hard disk drive, then create an nLited CD with integrated drivers etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's a bug of version 1.3 RC2. Please try nLite 1.2.1 Final. You will get it here: http://nuhi.olmik.net/old/nLite-1.2.1.installer.exeGood luck!Fernando Edited January 27, 2007 by Fernando 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
