Add NVIDIA Drivers

1 Extract the NVIDIA driver files from the nForce package using ‘-x’ option.

2 Copy all *.sys, *.dll, *.inf and *.cat files from “…\IDE\WinXP\sataraid” to “c:\

slipstream\XP\i386”.

3 Edit “c:\slipstream\XP\i386\txtsetup.sif” and add the following

a Under [WinntDirectories] section add:

300 = nvidia\nvraid

This will add a directory to hold the storage driver files.

b Directly under header [SourceDisksFiles] add the following lines:

nvraidco.dll = 1,,,,,,,300,0,0

nvraid.sys = 1,,,,,,,300,0,0

nvraid.inf = 1,,,,,,,300,0,0

nvraid.cat = 1,,,,,,,300,0,0

NvAtaBus.sys = 1,,,,,,,300,0,0

idecoi.dll = 1,,,,,,,300,0,0

NvAtaBus.sys = 100,,,,,,,4,0,0,,1,4

nvraid.sys = 100,,,,,,,4,0,0,,1,4

This tells installer to copy all driver files to ʺ%systemroot%\nvidia\nvraidʺ and
then the two .sys files to ʺ%systemroot%\system32\driversʺ

c Now add the device IDs for your SATA controller directly under the

[HardwareIdsDatabase] section.

This will tell OS which drivers to load for SATA controllers on your platform.

You can get this information from the file

nvraid.inf. Search for “[NVIDIA]” and

you should see something like the following:

[NVIDIA]

%CK804SSS%=Crush11_Inst,PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0055&CC_0104

%CK804SSS%=Crush11_Inst,PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0054&CC_0104

%NVRAID_DESC%=nvraid,GenNvRaidDisk

%NVRAID_BUS_DESC%=nvraidbus,*_NVRAIDBUS

%NVRAID_BUS_DESC%=nvraidbus,*NVRAIDBUS

You will require an entry for each of these lines in the following format.

[HardwareIdsDatabase]

PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0054 = "nvatabus"

PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0055 = "nvatabus"
