Hi,
1. I just downloaded it from the web site - https://www.ntlite.com/ which is before I read about the special edition by Nuhi.
I did download the NTLite v1.2.0.4247 Beta Special from Nuhi but after extraction and running the exe I got an error Integrity check failed for file Tools\7-zip\x64z\7z.dll so though best just to use the one I had downloaded.

I'll try some of the tests again later using the beta special and see if it actually allows me to rename or delete the files from the loaded and explored image and boot wims.

2. Being as I had noticed before... that it had either seen the RAID array or the non-raid SSD - but not BOTH. I wanted to be sure that what ever fix we found actually identified BOTH type of disks. I would have been really unhappy to find a solution that picked up the RAID array... to then only re-attach my normal SSD and it wasn't seen. lol.

Damn shame we all getting different results. Has anybody actually got it working and installed a OS on it. ?

Installing the latest Win 10_1607 on a standard SSD and then installing either of your driver sets (I used the new v11.1.0.43 x64 ) and doing the show hidden devices etc works to see the array. It even appears in the Nvidia Strorage panel - but this doesn't help anybody who wishes to use the the RAID array as a bootable OS.

Ohhh noooo I may have to go back to Windows 7! - which isnt such a bad thing.

a) original (untouched) Win10 v1607 image

b) modded Win10 v1607 image, where the "bad MS driver" named scsidev.inf had been removed (BOOT.WIM+INSTALL.WIM)

c) modded Win10 v1607 image, where the in-box NVIDIA nForce SATARAID drivers had been replaced by the "test3" or "new" variant of my mod+signed 32/64bit nForce SATARAID drivers v11.1.0.43 or v9.99.09 (BOOT.WIM+INSTALL.WIM)

d) modded Win10 v1607 image, where the "bad MS driver" named scsidev.inf had been removed and the in-box NVIDIA nForce SATARAID had been replaced according point c) (BOOT.WIM+INSTALL.WIM)?

Thanks for the Update Nuhi...

Ahhh great :)
Looking forward to testing this. Is it possible (once we have confirmation that it works) that we can have a separate upload of your modified scsidev.inf. May come in handy as a manual backup in case we need to re-mod any further windows images.

Did you replace all instances of the file or just the one in \windows\inf. I assume the modified scsidef.inf driver needs to replace the original in both INSTALL and BOOT WIMS.

Hi all again,

Didn't think I'd get attacked for just reporting my progress........

@Fernando & all, I reported everything I did to fix the problem more than 2 weeks ago, please check that post. It is very detailed & contains exactly everything I did to fix it.

I do not have experience with Windows installs & NTLITE and therefore can't assist in that area. I can however tell you what Windows expects in the Registry on boot of a nvraid system, which I have done. Fernando you have disputed throughout this thread that the missing prefix "Array__" cannot be the solution; however clearly it helped me in my case so perhaps you may have been mistaken on that.

Again, I'm here to help but again, I don't have experience with driver signing, NTLITE, or Windows install process. If you sign a driver with an INF with <all> of the hardware IDs we've talked about (there can never be too many), the only reason that shouldn't work is because there's something still wrong with the Signing I would think (though can't be sure.).

In general, I think we should stop trying to figure out how to get a completely fresh install working, and take this path: install the base 1511 version, which is fine, then upgrade to Anniversary VIA Windows Update. If you then get the BSOD, take my steps to edit the registry & make it work again.

Just my 2 cents,

Justin

Hi,

Sorry but the new image has not worked :(

I only have my nVidia raid array disks attached. Nothing more. It gets to the "Where do you want to install Windows"? - which is blank and provides the message: We couldn't find any drives. To get a storage device Click load driver...

Un-ticked the HIDE box and tried browsing to the files on NLite C: and Source X: with no finding of any suitable drivers.

Are your new signed drivers included in the image? I wonder if other members have the same issue with their raid arrays.

I can see your changes in the scsidev.info file:

CatalogFile=scsidev.cat
DriverVer=06/21/2006,10.0.14393.0

The Following are found in the older version from 1511 build. Not sure if relevant? but they are NOT in the modified scsidev.inf.

[MSFT.NTamd64]
%GenericScsiArray% = NODRV, ScsiArray

MSFT = "Microsoft"
GenericScsiArray = "Generic SCSI Array Device"

Kind Regards,
Kenny

Hi All,

I just took Fernando'd ISO image with the modified scsidev.inf and removed the BUILT-IN NVIDIA DRIVERS and then ADDED BOTH SETS OF HIS MODIFIED DRIVERS 9.x and the 11.x to the INSTALL AND BOOT WIMS. I added both sets to see if Windows would decide to pick one over the other?

I created a new ISO. I have just SUCCESSFULLY been able to identify my nVidia raid disk array. I was able to delete it. I was able to format it. :)

I am now in the process of loading windows. I will update this thread in an hour or so once windows has loaded and its rebooted.

Kind Regards,
Kenny

*UPDATE.1
========
1.Successfully loaded windows and after 2 reboots - I have a working Windows 10 ! OMG!!!!! lol :) :) :)
2.I will now create a system restore point. Reboot. Check the version of drivers and add a single non-raid SSD and update you all soon with the results.

*UPDATE.2 (Sorry for the long thread...See pics.)
================================

1. I can see my Drives. RAID Array and after a reboot and attaching a single SSD I can see the non Raid SSD.

*Odd issue! The PC will NOT shutdown. It shows msg SYSTEM SHUTTING DOWN ... and then throws you back to the main GUI Window. Really odd.
Had to settle with using RESTART and then manually power it off!

2. Fernando's drivers showing as - Not Signed.

3. Windows auto loading drivers - but they didn't show up as to what they were?

4. Extracted original nVidia 15.58 exe to get to RAID CONTROL PANEL. Installed that only.

* Fernando? do you have a modified version of this? or is there an easier way to install and get to the nVidia CPL to run?

5. List of Updates Window wanted to install. I let this run to pick up the Nvidia Display driver.

6. From running the new installed nVidia Display Setting - I can confirm the nVidia Storage Panel works and can see the array.

7. Attempted to just run the WIN-CA and see if that allowed the drivers to become Signed. This failed. Rebooted. No change.
Manually selected drivers and replaced from folder. No change. Drivers still showing as Not Signed.

Apart from that. It looks GOOD :) :) Just a few niggly issues that would be nice to get resolved. The Shutdown issue is still happening even after the windows updates. Very Odd. With refererence to step 7. I tried to install them by browsing to a folder on a USB containing the driver. Not sure why they are showing as Not Signed.

Kind Regards,
Kenny
