Does anyone know exactly which RAID driver file I need to add to an XP32 slipstream using nlite?
and if I slipstream, is F6 needed?

hey mark. i haven't tried the nv controller/drivers yet (there should be directions when you get to that point, i believe), but when using signed lsi drivers, and following the instructions to the letter, even after 6 tries i couldn't get a working nlited install disc. best of luck

Hi Mo,
Well I did get a successful slipstream with every raid driver I could integrate and a raid0 setup in bios.
The raid is set to boot.
Everything seems to be working fine.
WinXP32 goes through the setup install and then just keeps rebooting.
What am I doing wrong? Anyone?

Its about to get the boot.


I will bring a floppy drive back with me after this weekend and see if it just needs an F6.

Wow, that is amazing I just had the same problem with my system when installing xp x64 on my new drives. I think I found the problem with mine. I have two raid0's on my nf4 chipset, the problem was that inorder to install xp it writes the mbr to the first drive. The DFI Expert actually see's drive 3 then 4 then 1 then 2. So, I switched my raid0's around and then it worked fine. I know I probably didn't explain that very well but maybe it will help!

I think chriso is on to something, I have my raptors on ports 3 an 4 because of that as well.

[mark64]

looks like mine are on ports 2 & 4 , that might be my problem.

[chriso_86]

Yeah, I changed that and then also I am trying some new raid drivers since I keep getting errors and stuff from the one's I am using, so maybe that will change things as well!

[mark64]

which drivers are you using?
