ps, i sllipstreamed the rcxpahci V6.1.3.35 with nLite1.4.9.3 along with another ahci driver and windows installed the rcxpahci by default. be careful though, sometimes nlite removes the setup.exe and autorun files, so manually copy them to the xpcd working folder before you create image or direct burn.

for some reason, amd raid expert(direct from amd) doesnt appear to work on my a88x bolton fch. aha, found this online,,,

Dot Hill has announced that its AssuredVRA virtual RAID adapter software, branded RAIDCore, will be a part of AMD’s A-Series APU chipset.

ive checked XP-13-4_xp32-64_raid.exe and XP-13-4_xp32-64_sb.exe and its not in either of them, looks like its only from your motherboard maker. if you cant find it on your model, check other boards in that series.

will test rcxpahci on xp 64bit pro over the weekend

kimyo, i think you are using the wrong driver - v3.3.1540.33.
ive got a gigabyte ga-f2a88xm-ds2(bolton fch). xp 32bit and running on ahci. the driver is from the gigabyte drivers disk and its called rcxpahci.inf. there are 5 files in the folder,
rcxpahci - file, rcxpahci.cat, rcxpahci.inf, rcxpahci.sys, txtsetup.oem.

fernando - that did the trick. win xp is now successfully installed with the amd ahci controller. it seems quite happy, thanks!

result!

here is the rcxpahci ahci and raid drivers for AMD-RAID 6.1 software 6.1.3-00035(from gigabyte AMD FM2+/FM2 series utilities drivers disk) -->

ive checked the BootDrv folder on the gigabyte disc, the only other xp driver is for the A85 and the driver for that is Microsoft Windows miniport driver 3.3.1540.33 ahci86.

E.

the setup exe and autorun files for windows itself, not the driver fernando. i always check at the nlite burn window stage before i burn or create iso.
its caught me out a few times

to be honest fernando, i dont know if i have it or not. i am going to go digging into amds driver packages and nosey online to see what i find then use the brute force method(ive done it before) and smack every ahci driver i can into xp x64 with nlite and see what happens.
if not, back to amd ide drivers for x64

xp's setup exe and autorun inf, not the make disk,,

E

its possibly a bug in nlite1493(direct from nlite), sometimes, when processing nlite will delete the setup.exe and autorun inf from the xpcd folder(always from an untouched iso), 'c:xpcd' i created so it creates a cd or iso that will not boot. luckily i use cd rewritable discs. when i use nlite now, when i get to the burn/create iso stage, i pause, check the xpcd folder to see if those 2 files are still there and manually copy from a mounted xp iso to xpcd folder if needed then create iso or direct burn
still, nlite is free and you cannot really complain about something free. now i know this problem is there, it is no hassle to check for those files and replace them if i have to.

E.

again, thanks. i just made a donation, hopefully enough to pay for a decent bottle of wine, or whatever you fancy.

your help was invaluable. running xp on modern hardware is really quite fine.

Waow... That's one way to unburry a topic no... ?

Hi Fernando. I'm a newcomer on this forum and I'm encountering the same problem that Kimyo encountered in this thread (see post n° 9)
I was forced to install Win XP using IDE mode because AHCI was giving me BSOD (not during winXP installation but on the first boot just after it)
Today, I'm trying to modify the driver in WinXP device manager

My drive controller is listed like this :
1 primary ide channel 4&2D77B6DB&0&0
2 secondary ide channel 4&2D77B6DB&0&1
3 standard dual channel pci ide controller: pci/ven_1022&DEV_7800&SUBSYS_86231043&REV_40\3&1158a3659&0&88
So I tried to change the driver of item n°3 using the manual method, I select the rcxpahci.inf (package version 6.1.3.35) but no success : I've got a dialog box telling me that the specified location doesn't contain any information about my hardware. I only can press the OK button and I'm sent back at the dialog box telling me to choose from which disk to install the driver.
What can I do as I would like to avoid re-installing XP ?
Thanks for your help.
