So my boss has ordered a bunch of HP Tablet PCs and wants me to make a RIS image for them. The tablets have a Intel SATA AHCI 8280 1GBM controller. I have been playing with this for a little over a day and have about come to wits end. I went to HP's website and downloaded the SATA AHCI driver, made the floppy disk and extracted the drivers from it. I moved the drivers to the i386 folder, made the iaStor.sy_ in the same location. I have edited the txtsetup.sif with the following additions:

[Disks]

disk1 = "Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver", iaStor.sys,\

[Defaults]

scsi = iaStor_ICH7DH

[scsi]

iaStor_ICH7DH = "Intel® 82801GR/GH SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH7R/DH)"

iaAHCI_ICH7R = "Intel® 82801GR/GH SATA AHCI Controller (Desktop ICH7R/DH)"

iaAHCI_ICH7M = "Intel® 82801GBM SATA AHCI Controller (Mobile ICH7M)"

iaStor_ICH6R = "Intel® 82801FR SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH6R)"

iaAHCI_ICH6R = "Intel® 82801FR SATA AHCI Controller (Desktop ICH6R)"

iaAHCI_ICH6M = "Intel® 82801FBM SATA AHCI Controller (Mobile ICH6M)"

iaStor_ICH5R = "Intel® 82801ER SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH5R)"

iaStor_ICH5RHR = "Intel® 6300ESB SATA RAID Controller"

[Files.scsi.iaStor_ICH7DH]

driver = disk1, iaStor.sys, iaStor

inf = disk1, iaStor.inf

catalog = disk1, iaStor.cat

[Files.scsi.iaAHCI_ICH7R]

driver = disk1, iaStor.sys, iaStor

[Config.iaStor]

value = "", tag, REG_DWORD, 1b

value = "", ErrorControl, REG_DWORD, 1

value = "", Group, REG_SZ, "SCSI miniport"

value = "", Start, REG_DWORD, 0

value = "", Type, REG_DWORD, 1

[HardwareIds.scsi.iaStor_ICH7DH]

id = "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C3&CC_0104","iaStor"

[HardwareIds.scsi.iaAHCI_ICH7R]

id = "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C1&CC_0106","iaStor"

[HardwareIds.scsi.iaAHCI_ICH7M]

[HardwareIds.scsi.iaStor_ICH5RHR]

id = "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_25B0&CC_0104","iaStor"

I have also made a change to my ristndrd.sif to point to \Drivers\tc4400 where I have also copied the drivers. I still get the screen that says "Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer."

Can anyone see something I am doing wrong here, thanks in advance.

Well I Googled enough and finally found the right place.
