Snoochems Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Hi all.I've been trying endlessly to slipstream the VIA 8237 SATA RAID drivers into a bootable windows x64 CD.I have not been able to suceed.I'm used the latest nLite to 'strip' any unwanted stuff from my Windows CD, and also used it to integrate my drivers, including the said VIA 8237 drivers. (came up with warning asking me if it was a TEXTMODE driver or something)I burnt made the image, burnt it to CD and it didn't detect my stripped array.So, i go back to nLite, do the same things, but also manually add the VIA 8237 'F6' driver to my windows root directory, using every method i've found by searching every website i've found.Nothing has worked. What am i doing wrong?Can someone please help!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuhi Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 For integration can't talk now...trying to introduce other method as well.As for F6...if you use Unattended be sure to turn off Oem Preinstall, it's on first page of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoochems Posted August 2, 2005 Author Share Posted August 2, 2005 Yeah, i kind of figured that out eventually. I only have one INF file though. So i just put that one there.Still... no matter what i did, it didn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoochems Posted August 2, 2005 Author Share Posted August 2, 2005 ATTN NUHI:I tried to PM you... here's what i wrote:Hi. You must be getting sick of me... In case you haven't noticed, i've been desperately trying to slipstream the via 8237 raid controller driver into a windwos x64 CD.I've tried EVErYTHING i've found on these forums, as well as every combination there is. Nothing has workedThis is my last try... contacting the maker himself. Now, you're obviously very smart and all, so hopefully, this may get me closer to getting these stupid drivers slipstreamed. Here is the link to the drivers in case you need more info (Version - 4.30g)http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageI...60&SubCatID=143The closet i got to acheiving a boot cd with the drivers integrated is having it detect my stripped array, and halfway through installing windows i would get a BSOD.please, give me hand.Thank you.

mritter Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 See if you can my reply below to get to work on x64. NOTE: The files are not intgrated with nLite, they are in the $OEM$ folder.if you get it to work for x64 be sure to post your results.32bit version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kifart Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 (edited) Oh man... I'm sorry to hear that. I know your pain though.The only thing that i got working was http://driverpacks.net, but it's only for 32bit systems. However, I'm sure what they did be of some help to you, since they did something different.Also, NOTE: nlite STILL DOES NOT WORK WITH ALL 32BIT INSTALLATIONS!Goodluck, all.
