Integrate VIA VT8237 SATA TEXTMODE driver in Windows XP Setup CD

Install Windows XP with SATA drive without floppy drive.

1. Get nLite, http://www.nliteos.com/
2. Get Virtual Floppy http://chitchat.at.infoseek.co.jp/vmware/vfd.html
3. Your Original Windows XP SP2 CD

You'll need SATA driver, from http://www.viaarena.com, windows_v-raid_v570a.zip

Step 1
Mount a virtual floppy with a new image. Create sata driver disk with DriverDiskPrep.exe

Step 2
Run nLite and choose driver from your mounted virtual floppy. Create new ISO, and burn.



I am using MSI PM8M2-V and been looking for this solution. Some mainboard with SATA chipset and SATA hard drive, does not required [F6] to install driver during Windows XP installation.

Sorry Senior Member Altair, I thought technical person would love unattended installation. After searching my problem (this particular mainboard with the particular chipset), those having this sata chip & drive would have problem, (the previous driver stays at PNP mode, rather the TEXTMODE) unless using the updated sata driver.

The point is, there is such thread that existed already in this section which i posted and it works for all SATA driver rather than just one.

Next time do read the PINNED topics.

of course native sata controller doesn't require you to press F6 to install 3rd party driver.
only those offering fron silicon image, jmicron and perhaps some offering with raid functionality will require you to press F6 during windows installation to allow the driver loading.

btw, if you are posting a guide, do browsed properly cuz there is already a pinned thread on this.
