Fernando 1 Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 Yes, I'm using the nForce RAID.I've done as you suggested but using these drivers with nLite doesn't seem to help. When I run the install I get STOP errors, or the installation hang when finishing the installation.I have the latest BIOS and my drives are all functioning properlyWhat about your memory? Any overclocking? Did you do a memtest? Do you have more than 2 GB RAM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Overclocking.I'll do a memtest right away.This system was working fine but I was only using the SATA-IDE not the SATA/RAID config and I wanted the redundancy.

cudac Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I've installed the motherboard drivers you suggested and they work well. Thanks!I have 2 devices that I don't know what to do with- PCI Device- Unknown DeviceI don't have any PCI cards installed. I have a DVD RW and a PCI Express Video Card that has drivers installed properly. Do you have any suggestions about these items? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando 1 Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 (edited) I have 2 devices that I don't know what to do with- PCI Device- Unknown DeviceDo a right-click onto the devices and look for details.EDIT: The "Unknown Device" probably is the ASUS ACPI device. The driver should be on the mainboard CD. If not, use the attached one.ASUS_ACPI.zipWhat about your Sound chip? This could be the "PCI Device". You will get the newest HDAudio drivers from Realtek.

bad_Phantom Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 hi,get the Tool Everest Ultimate Edition, which shows you ALL information you need, even the one from unknown devices....this devices could be some features of your mainboard.Install latest service pack for your windows (suppose you are using xp) and afterwards the unknown device should get renamed to something like audio device. or get latest drivers from the ASUS Page for your soundcard or from the manufacturer, which contains the patch for the HD Audio. xp itself doesnt know what to do with hd audio, so it shows up as unknown device.the pci device could be the new security "feature" TPM-Module, which is integrated in you motherboard. it's not necessary, but u can download the drivers from your motherboard manufacturer OR you can disable this in the bios of your motherboard.with regards,PhanTom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After installation, while loading Windows, it restart.You have to integrate the content of both driver folders as layed down within my guide, the SATARAID one as TEXTMODE and the SATA_IDE one as "normal" device driver.

kemin Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 then i select nvraid.inf from "32bit nForce SATARAID drivers v.6.99 WHQL" and nvata.inf from "32bit nForce SATA_IDE drivers v.6.99 WHQL", it's true?ps: if i try to use "modded 32bit nForce LEGACY drivers v.6.99", it gives me an error on load nvatabus.sys during installation loading.

You have to, don't hit F6 and try to load the driver from a floppy disk. That doesn't work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemin Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Yes, but you should verify, if nLite really takes the SATARAID drivers as TEXTMODE.this give me an error on a file that i don't remember the name.Did you integrate the LEGACY driver folder as TEXTMODE driver?

You will get the newest HDAudio drivers from Realtek.The PCI Device was 'JMicron JMB36X Controller", which installed from the CD. I didn't want to use the CD for anything since it may cause conflicts with your driver package. Hopefully this will work though.The 'Unknwn Device' is no longer there so I don't know what it was Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it like "could not copy file xyz"?Did you integrate the LEGACY driver folder as TEXTMODE driver? You have to, don't hit F6 and try to load the driver from a floppy disk. That doesn't work!no, i don't use floppy disk. nvatabus don't works What does mean "doesn't work"? I am pretty sure, that the integration of the LEGACY driver folder would work too.Recommendations:1. You have to take a clean (=untouched) XP XD as source.2. Lower the speed when burning the CD.3. Check your memory sticks with memtest. Remove some sticks, if you are using more than 2 GB of memory.The PCI Device was 'JMicron JMB36X Controller", which installed from the CD.You should check, if you really need this Controller. If not, you should disable it within the BIOS. Edited July 24, 2008 by Fernando 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theriex Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 (edited) I'm having problems installing Windows XP Pro x64 on my system. I have two SATA drives set to dual boot, one has Ubuntu on it, the other did have Windows XP Pro 32bit on it but I wiped it and now want to put Windows XP Pro x64 on. I've followed the instructions on here but it still doesn't want to work. It just hangs at "Setup is starting windows". I've tried installing the SATA_IDE drivers by floppy, the SATARAID drivers by floppy and both together by floppy to no avail, I've tried using nlite to put them in, no luck there either. I've tried kicking the computer, unfortunately that didn't work, but it made me feel a little better I've got the latest drivers for my chipset (nforce 430/geforce 6100). I do know that if I place my Windows XP 32bit (SP3) disc in, it doesn't hang, its only the 64bit version that hangs.My system is as follows:Asus M2N-MX SE PLUS (newest bios)AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4800+2Gb DDR800 RAM (one stick)2 x 80GB SATA HDD (Same make/model)1 x 160GB EIDE HDDPlease help, its driving me nuts, if you need any more info, just let me know.
