Help with SERIAL ATA driver and NLITE

[Eurekabox]

Hi, i am trying to slipstream my raid/sata drivers for Intel ICH8R, in ACHI MODE in BIOS, using nLite, this is my first try in making an unattended instalation, i have the floppy disk drive installed on my pc just because these drivers. So i found i could sliptream these drivers into windows cd, and decided to give it a try... and get rid of the floppy drive, with this asus motherboard i can make bios updates via usb thumb drive....

Well, my motherboard is a Asus P5B Deluxe AP/Wifi edition using ICH8R, i am in the Nlite stage where it can integrate my ICH8R drivers, the Bios is set to AHCI mode, for my 2 seagate Serial ATA II drives.

Taken from the floppy disk, the files are:

txtsetup.oem

iaahci.cat

iaahci.inf

iastor.cat

iastor.inf

iastor.sys

The question is, which .INF do i select? iaahci.inf or iastor.inf? or both?

I am in doubt because Nlite let me choose both of them or just one, but which one should i select?

If i select Multiple or single driver, it shows one of them like AHCI driver and the other like RAID driver, but i am not sure which one to choose or choose both.

Thanks in advance!

Hi!

Forget Nlite just copy this :

[SourceDisksFiles] 
iaStor.sys = 1,,,,,,3_,4,1 

[HardwareIdsDatabase] 
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2822&CC_0104 = "iaStor" 
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2821&CC_0106 = "iaStor" 
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2682&CC_0104 = "iaStor" 
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2681&CC_0106 = "iaStor" 
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C3&CC_0104 = "iaStor" 
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C6&CC_0104 = "iaStor" 
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C1&CC_0106 = "iaStor" 
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C5&CC_0106 = "iaStor" 
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2652&CC_0104 = "iaStor"
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2652&CC_0106 = "iaStor"
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2653&CC_0106 = "iaStor"

[SCSI.load] 
iaStor = iaStor.sys,4 

[SCSI] 
iaStor = "Intel(R) ICH8R/DO/DH SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH8R)"

in your TXTSETUP.SIF file from i386 folder (at the end of the file) also copy iaStor.sys file from your floppy to i386 folder and rename it to iaStor.sy_

Then copy everything from floppy to your drivers folder from $OEM$ folder and add the new folder to your WINNT.SIF file!

Hi thank you for your response, but i am not using any RAID, i am using AHCI mode.

Shouldn't be "Intel® ICH8R/DO/DH SATA ***AHCI*** Controller (Desktop ICH8R)"

By telling this i know this is a meaningless label, but is not "iaahci.inf" used at all?

Thank you.

IaStor.sys it's the driver for both AHCI&RAID ! and windows it will choose automatically between iaahci.inf or iastor.inf
