Adding Intel SATA Drivers to an Installation CD IMPORTANT: Follow the installation instructions in the order provided.

Failure to complete these steps in the proper order can result in an unsuccessful or unstable installation. This section provides guidelines for people who need to add Intel SATA AHCI of RAID support by creating a custom Windows XP Service Pack 2 Installation CD. Why did i make this? I wasn't satisfied with the information many other people are writing on the Internet and there guidelines are to complex for beginners, intermediates and even experts to understand if they are unfamiliar with this stuff. Steps to add SATA drivers to the CD 1) Copy all the directories and files from the Windows XP CD to a temporary folder (these guidelines will use c:\xpcd) 2) Download the Floppy Configuration Utility from Intel.com 3) Extract all the files from the downloaded file. You can use an extraction tool or if you choose just to run the setup installer the files will be located on a floppy. (these guidelines will use the floppy installer) 4) These files should be located on the floppy disk. a. iaahci.cat b. iaahci.inf c. iastor.cat d. iastor.inf e. iastor.sys f. license.txt g. readme.txt h. txtsetup.oem 5) Create the following path in the temporary folder: c:\xpcd\$oem$\$1\drivers\sata 6) Copy all the files from step 4 to the c:\xpcd\i386 folder. You could delete the readme.txt and license.txt if you want, they are not important for the installation. 7) Also copy all the files from step 4 to the c:\xpcd\$oem$\$1\drivers\sata folder. 8) Open the c:\xpcd\i386\txtsetup.sif file in Notepad. 9) Go to the end of the file. There will be several blank lines. 10) Move the cursor up a few lines. This is necessary because there is a hidden marker at the end of the file. 11) Add the following lines [SourceDisksFiles] iastor.sys= 1,,,,,,4_,4,1,,,1,4 iaAHCI.cat=1,,,,,,,20,0,0 iaAHCI.inf=1,,,,,,,20,0,0 iaSTOR.cat=1,,,,,,,20,0,0 iaSTOR.inf=1,,,,,,,20,0,0 [HardwareIdsDatabase] PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C5&CC_0106 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C3&CC_0104 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C1&CC_0106 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2652&CC_0104 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2652&CC_0106 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2653&CC_0106 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_24DF&CC_0104 = "iaStor" PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_25B0&CC_0104 = "iaStor" [SCSI.Load] iaStor = iaStor.sys,4 [SCSI] iaStor = "Intel 82801 SATA RAID/AHCI Controller (ICH5,6,7)" 12) Save the file and exit notepad. 13) Open the c:\xpcd\i386\winnt.sif in notepad 14) Under the section [Unattended], add the following lines: OemPreinstall=yes OemPnPDriversPath=drivers\sata DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore 15) Burn the custom XPCD from the c:\xpcd folder.a
