    Thread: Integration of nForce SataRaid drivers
Post: RE: Integration of nForce SataRaid drivers

Neither nvatabus nor the serial ata controller show up in setupapi.log. Given that I can install and run Windows without RAID, and now this new information, this doesn't appear to be a hardware issue ...

Post: RE: Integration of nForce SataRaid drivers

I've just turned off the RAID, and have succeeded in installing on a single drive. It appears to be working fine, so after spending two weeks on this thing, I think I'm just going to use software RAID...

SETUPERR.LOG size=0 is correct. When I do "No reboot on system failure", I see: ... *** STOP: 0x0000007B (0xBACC3524, 0xC00000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) I tried turning on boot logging, but I don...

Post: RE: Integration of nForce SataRaid drivers

Current status: the closest I've come to getting this working is using a slipstreamed beta driver CD. That will boot the CD, see the RAID array, install and reboot into the "off the drive" part of the...

Post: RE: Integration of nForce SataRaid drivers

I didn't use that one, because when I go to the link, it says it's a 64-bit driver. So I found 6.53 via Google, and tried creating a slipstreamed CD with that (without setting "bad driver", since it s...

I just tried *very carefully* starting from scratch, slipstreaming in SP2, then loading up all the 6.85 drivers. And I get the STOP error.

Reading up on the original discovery about how to do this, I'm still somewhat confused, but in the Recovery console, I see that \Windows\OEMDIR has nvatabus.sys, along with all the other driver files ...

Post: RE: Integration of nForce SataRaid drivers

Well, this would seem to be some progress: a CD with the beta drivers slipstreamed ran through the install, but then got to restarting into Windows, and we get the restarting loop, even with Safe Mode...
