8trs400m Sata Driver Xp
So I bought a 500gb SATA HDD, when I start up windows to do a windows xp install it gives me the error message 'Setup did not fid any HDD installed in your computer'. So I went out and got the drivers and did the F6 thing and it went through and then it did the same thing. I was wondering if anyone could help me please solve this problem I did check to make sure all the wires were connected. I used this driver just go to the website it will take you to filefront.
Maybe I did get the wrong SATA raid driver let me know what you need to help me. My motherboard is an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe. Which SATA controller are you connected to?The Silicon Image controller driver will not work if you are connected to the Nvidia SATA interface.Further, you need to make sure that the SATA controller is enabled in BIOS setup before you can use it.If you are using the Silicon Image SATA controller, I believe that you need to use the RAID configuration utility and configure a RAID array before the BIOS can boot to a drive connected there. Yes, you can have a single disk RAID configuration.As to the driver, why not download directly from Asus or Silicon Image?
I avoid third party sources as much as possible.If you are using the Nvidia SATA, you can create a driver by booting to the Asus CD and running the driver utility.I did notice that some versions of the Nvidia driver require specific versions of the BIOS in order to function properly.Chas.
@ all users with a NVIDIA nForce RAID or AHCI system:IntroductionThe problem:None of the Pre-Vista Windows Operating Systems do support the S-ATA Controller features RAID ('Redundant Array of Independent Disks') and AHCI ('Advanced Host Controller Interface'). Unless the suitable nForce Sata/PataRAID or AHCI drivers are separately presented by the user, the OS installation fails, because the OS Setup doesn't find the related RAID/AHCI drives and their partitions.The traditional method to provide the needed drivers by F6/floppy has some severe disadvantages:. A floppy drive is needed, but not available at many actual desktop computers and notebooks. Floppy disks are the worst data storage media regarding the file integrity. Bad floppy disks are the main reason for corrupted driver files. The F6/floppy method doesn't work at all with some 'LEGACY mode' nForce RAID systems.
Even if the user loads the correct nForce drivers and the RAID is detected by Windows Setup, the OS installation may end with a BSOD and endless reboot loops.The better alternative is the integration of the needed textmode drivers into a bootable OS CD. Only this way the user can be sure to succeed with the installation of the OS onto an nForce RAID or AHCI system. Nevertheless the developers of the driver integration method had to solve the above specified problem (see point 3). Until 2005 the correct installation of the nForce S-ATA/P-ATA Controllers and drivers needed addtional manual work of the user. They only succeeded after having created special folders and edited some SIF and/or OEM files.The solution:The safest and easiest way to get the problematic nForce textmode drivers properly installed is to integrate them by using a tool like nLite. All actual versions of nLite (Since v1.0 Final) have incorporated a special method, which guarantees the successful OS installation onto any nForce RAID or AHCI system (if the user observes some rules layed down below).
Hi!First, I want to thank you for taking the time to write down this guide. I have had some problems trying to put it to work, though. It comes that the driver package in 7z format was being open by Winrar, which showed its contents, but was unable to unpack them (it created a list of files with the very same names, but zero size). The problem was solved by using the proper extractor to open them (7-zip on sourceforge).
But first I had to realize that Winrar was not doing the work, which was not as easy as it seems (for me, anyway). I'm leaving this message as it might help other users, or at least I hope so.Thanks again from Valencia!P.D.: I don't understand where the SATAIDE and SATARAID folders are supposed to be; the drivers I downloaded lack any folders. @ Shiverio:Welcome at Win-RAID Forum and thanks for your info regarding the use of WinRAR and 7-Zip!By the way: It is the better compression, which let me use the tool 7-Zip in the past, but I have already started to replace it by the more common tool WinRAR. As soon as I have the needed time, I will replace step by step the.7z archives by.rar ones to avoid future problems while trying to unzip my driverpacks.Zitat von im BeitragI don't understand where the SATAIDE and SATARAID folders are supposed to be; the drivers I downloaded lack any folders.If you have downloaded a small package containing just the 'LEGACY' or 'SATARAID' drivers, you will not find any subfolders.
All you need is to integrate its unzipped content. If you want to see the SATAIDE and SATARAID folder, you have to download the related complete nForce chipset driver pack, which you find within the chapter D of my guide (start post).Zitat von im BeitragThanks again from Valencia!Greetings from Moraira!Fernando. I am about to give up.I burned the ISO and the setup ended with a bluescreen.I searched for a solution and I found your words on another forum:It is impossible to get the newest nForce SataRaid drivers installed onto an nForce SataRaid system by using F6/floppy method. Reason: The actual nForce SataRaid drivers are not correctly digitally signed by MS. Although the XPx32 and XPx64 setup routine detects the Raid array correctly during TEXTMODE part of the installation, it installs at least the wrong MS IDE Standard drivers. Zitat von im BeitragI Must say that the copy of xp64 I have has built in integrated sata driversDoes that mean, that you are using an already customized XP x64 CD as source?

If yes, this was a big mistake. The source CD has to be absolutely 'clean' (untouched original). ZitatIf I want to eliminate them from the ISO, where I should look and what should I eliminate?The only SATA driver, which is within the original XP x64 image, is the in-box MS standard SATA driver, but you should not try to remove it! ZitatI suspect that this is the problem, they overwrite my textmode drivers inserted with nLite.This problem only occurs with 'LEGACY mode' nForce RAID systems like yours, because the related users need to get integrated 2 INF files (for the nForce RAID and the nForce SATA driver). To prevent, that the inserted nForce SATA driver will be overwritten by the MS in-box SATA driver, nLite uses another procedure than other XP customizing tools like the 'Unattended XP CD Creator'.So this is what I recommend to do:1.
F6 Floppy Drivers For Xp
Make sure, that your source XP x64 CD is an untouched original one.2. Download the tool named 'Unattended XP CD Creator' (the latest version is 1.0.2 Beta10 and can be downloaded from ) and install it.3. Follow guide (the download links to the drivers are broken, but you got the required textmode driver already).Good luck!
