fritzi Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 After vLite works fine for me, I've got the next problem I integrated the driver for my raid controller to the image (VIA VT6421, viamraid.inf) and burned it on DVD. But at setup, Vista doesn't find any harddrives and I have to browse to the directory, where the driver files for the controller are located.But where they are? Shouldn't Vista find the driver independent? If not, is it possible to browse to the built-in driver on DVD? I tried this, but didn't found anything.Thanks
Jeronimo Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 I might be mistaken, but I think driver integration is for use within Windows, not for the drivers you require at boot/setup for RAID-configurations.
fritzi Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 (edited) Ah OK. Thanks for your reply.I thought, Vista detects the driver at startup as it is in my nvidia raid system (driver is integrated from microsoft by default). It's a pity and would be nice, if it's possible in future.However, it's an amazing tool. Edited January 31, 2007 by fritzi
nuhi Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 For now it's just the PNP drivers but soon I'll add the so called Txtmode driver integration too."Problem" for not doing it right away is that all the PCs I tried booted just fine so I'll have to first remove the built-in drivers to be able to test that.The setup so early (at the boot) is totally different image from the one which gets installed at the end.
fritzi Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 (edited) The setup so early (at the boot) is totally different image from the one which gets installed at the end.I didn't know this. Now, I understand . This feature would be great for raid users, which have non supported controllers by default. In case of a system restore, it is circular and annoying to integrate raid driver from a removable device every time.... Edited January 31, 2007 by fritzi
Bilar Crais Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 At least Vista setup beats the hell out of XP (floppy drive for Raid drivers). Thumb drive is a breeze! Eventual integration will be nice though.
geese howard Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 Vista accept only whql drivers?During install with integrated drivers, setup warn about every driver...
nuhi Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 geese howard, I think you're missing the "auto" infront of "accept".Also check the vlite homepage top post.
