WinPE and Silicon Image 3114

[lokiloki12]

I have read every thread concerning adding drivers to WinPE and have tried all methods.

Trying to load Silicon Image 3114 SATALink Controller drivers for AMD 64.

SI3114.INF from Driver files ID section.

[SI_HDC.NTamd64]
%PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3114.DeviceDesc%=SI_3114_XP, PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3114&SUBSYS_31141095
%PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3114.DeviceDesc%=SI_3114_XP, PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3114&SUBSYS_288610F1


Here is my TXTSETUP.SIF

[HardwareIdsDatabase]
PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3114&SUBSYS_31141095 = "SI_3114_XP"
PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3114&SUBSYS_288610F1 = "SI_3114_XP"


[SCSI.LOAD]
SI3114.sys = SI3114,4

[SCSI]
SI3114   = "Silicon Image SiI 3114 SATALink Controller"

The drivers are named si3114.sys in the SI3114.INF file.

I copied the *.sys file to //System32/Drivers

*.inf file to //INF

All other files to //System32

Do I need to change the the WINPEOEM.SIF also ?

;[OemDriverParams]

;OemDriverRoot=""

;OemDriverDirs=

I copied the new TXTSETUP.SIF, and driver files (as shown above) to my image in Magic ISO and saved it.

Burned it. The cd works except I can't see the Hard disks in DISKPART, (this is in textmode not graphical mode) I am assuming the driver did not load, since the disks are not available.

Thx

you can try use WINPEOEM.SIF file to load a SATA driver, do not need to modify txtsetup.sif.

here is a WINPEOEM.SIF file:

[Version]

signature="$Windows NT$"

[OemDriverParams]

OemDriverRoot=""

OemDriverDirs=Sata

and find the TXTSETUP.OEM file in your SATA driver disk, copy that file and other necessary ".sys", ".inf" and so on, to winpe's system32\sata directory (create directory yourself).

dir x:\i386\system32\sata

si3112r.cat

si3112r.sys

si3112r.inf

txtsetup.oem

i think shoud be

PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3114&SUBSYS_31141095 = "SI3114"

PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3114&SUBSYS_288610F1 = "SI3114"

Correct.

It worked with your change.

If I change the Windows installation to reflect the changes to the txtseup.sif, it should install Windows and find the Silicon 3114 drivers, yes ?
