Could you tell me, how to check a Floppy drive about his correct functions?

@Fernando

No - it hasn't. At least not internal.
I guess, that this could be the main problem? - when i have to run from an USB Floppy drive?

Allso, i have older Logicube Hardware Copier.
If i would not take out the HDD from a laptop, i have to start the laptop from the bootable floppy.
In combination with a Logicube Clone Card Pro Adapter.

But, i havn't an intern floppy drive - so, i have to run it from the extern USB floppy...

In Windows 2000 - original or SP4 - I couldn t integrate a regular VIA SATA driver via nLite. I tried several nLite versions with the same result:


In the end, I had to manually edit TXTSETUP.SIF & WINNT.SIF to get the job done. I think it's doable for a single driver only, or else you have to edit too many entries in TXTSETUP.SIF: [HardwareIdsDatabase] [SourceDisksFiles] [SCSI.Load] etc.

I had to integrate these 3 files into 2k installation folder: VIAMRAID.INF - viamraid.sys - viamraid.cat. I really tried with nLite. There is no modded driver.

First, I had to edit TXTSETUP.SIF

[HardwareIdsDatabase] // copy ids from . inf file - just the first part until coma

%PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3349.DeviceDesc% = viamraid
%PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_6287.DeviceDesc% = viamraid
%PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_0591.DeviceDesc% = viamraid
%PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3249.DeviceDesc% = viamraid
%PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3149.DeviceDesc% = viamraid
%PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3164.DeviceDesc% = viamraid
%PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_0581.DeviceDesc% = viamraid
%PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_7372.DeviceDesc% = viamraid

[SourceDisksFiles]
viamraid.sys = 1 ,,,,,, _ x, 4,1 //exact name of .sys file

[SCSI.Load]
viamraid = viamraid.sys, 4 //no .sys on the left side

[SCSI]
driver_filename = "Some useful name"

Then, I had to edit WINNT.SIF

[Unattended]
UnattendMode = ProvideDefault
OemPreinstall =YES

Supposedly, the installer will look onto $OEM$ folder for additional drivers - which I created - but I had to copy all the files again into $WIN_NT$.... \i386 folder to make it work.

Thanks, Ive installed a few version of the driver and it gives me a blue screen *** STOP: 0X000000A5 (0x00000002, 0x8BB4E2B8,0x00000001,0x8BBH51BB0)

The BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI compliant.

I have amended the settings in the BIOS to legacy. What do you advise?

@Sircam

try the patched ACPI driver

Can you send me the link to the patched driver please.

@Sircam

I sent you a PM

I have used the patched driver. Thanks, its now displaying another blue screen after loading drivers.

*** STOP: 0X0000007B (0xF78DA524, 0xC00000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

Check for viruses on your computer. Remove any newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers.
