Windows FLP RAID/SATA Support

[KinetiK]

1st of all, sorry guys for opening the same topic again, this time its not just only a help request, now i found out that Microsoft did something wrong (or it could be me, who knows...)

1st, i tryed to intergrate some VIA RAID drivers on Windows FLP, what i got was the blue screen of death

2nd, i tryed in on the Windows FLP Manual, the documentation is of course on the CD, no chance, the OS installs, it finds the drives, but when it tryes to boot at the 1st time, i get the blue screen of death with the message that theres a fatal error on A driver

3rd, i tryed to install Windows FLP normaly via a diskette by pressing F6, all good, after the install, BSOD...

NOW...i came to the idea that i have a 6GB IDE Hard Drive somewhere at home, i installed Windows FLP on it, 1st no sign of the RAID/SATA Drives, of course, there wasnt any intergrated driver just like all other windowses, i installed the raid drivers from the 6GB drive where FLP is installed inside, it took just a reboot to catch them, want facts, here they are...

btw, here are the Official FLP Tools for unnatended help

Windows FLP Unattended Generator Utility

Windows FLP INFImporter Command Line Utility

now some facts, FLP seems to install its boot.ini on the 1st drive, unfortunatly thats always and IDE drive, but it shouldnt be hard to copy them on the drive you want and just edit them (it, boot.ini)

the other fact, if ur trying to install Windows FLP, wile on the other side u have a NT based system (2000/XP/2003), u will learn a great bug from windows

your desktop wont show the files you have on the dir C:\Docs & Sets\USER\Desktop\, it shows the files of C:\, yes its strange to see WINDOWS, PROGRAM FILES and all other stuff in that dir on ur desktop, i tryed to solve the problem, but only the repair helped me, but i totaly forgot that i could be a REG settings, i mean, the desktop shows a Directory, and i think it can be edited easily.

thats it actualy, sorry for my wack typing and wack english, i was/am in hurry, ill check here later.

Regards, KinetiK.

Inofficially i would like to ask the MSFN Team/Crew for a favour, to report this BUG on Microsoft/Windows, on my past i tryed to contact them in any ways for bugs but no sing of answering and hell no sign of fixing

btw, if anyone could help me microsoftless here i would really appriciate that, this is what the Windows FLP INFImporter Command Line Utility edits in the file (driverinstall.xml)

3rd, i tryed to install Windows FLP normaly via a diskette by pressing F6, all good, after the install, BSOD...

Does anyone have a solution to this problem above? There is no response to F6 when it boots off the hard drive
