On any of the six systems of my own, one that just uses SATA and the other five use SATA RAID, none of them are recognized from the XP installation CD unless I either press F6 and load the drivers off of floppy, or integrate the drivers with either nLite or DriverPacks. This is the case even on reinstallations even though the hard drives are already formatted. I've reinstalled these systems many, many times and each time I need to load the driver. Not denying that it works the way it did for you, but I think that must be some kind of exception and not the rule. Skyfrog: Just to make things clear: What people are asking for is genereic support for the feature in SATA drives called AHCI (.). AHCI is implementet in more and more new motherboards and complete systems. A lot of these pc's an laptops do not give the option to use 'normal mode' - the mode, you correctly state, does not care if it is an Parallel-ATA of Serial-ATA drive.
AHCI support is NOT included in Windows XP. Windows reports 'no harddrives found' on AHCI machines, ( Normal (S)ATA is of course included in a generic driver, that works with all major chipsets. ) The reason why people are crying out for this beeing a part of SP3 is simple: When installing XP, controller drivers that are not included, must be inserted via the F6 prompt.
This requires an actual floppy drive or BIOS ability to emulate a USB stick as floppy. The first is not present in most PC's - and definetly not in laptops - today. The latter requires quite some knowledge, and a BIOS willing to cooperate. The people who are most affected by this problem are ( since they can legally install an existing license on a new PC ): People who payed full price for a Retail Windows XP - and Business customers. MS has however stated that no new drivers will be included in SP3 - period.
But MS has been persuaded to include High Definition Audio support ( a separate update in SP2 ). I personally am very thankfull for that.
MS has still not replied on the question, wether it would be easy for them to rewrite the current Windows Vista driver. AHCI is the official implementation of new features in SATA drives including support for native command queing (NCQ). NCQ allows the harddrive to rearrange read and write commands to reduce the amount of time and head movements needed to read the requested files. AHCI requires a separate driver, just like separate SATA chips, RAID controllers etc. Lars Kruse I'm not a complete idiot - several parts are missing. WHAT YOU AND I CAN DO IS NOT THE POINT!! I use nlite regularly.
But even some of my colleagues have no clue on how to use nlite. The average user - with only one downed PC - has no chance either. The knowlegable helper, who came to assist, must know about nlite and have an image prepared. Not something you can expect to happen. The chance that he can get his hands on a SP3 CD is better. But MOST importantly - images created with Nlite are not supported by MS. Thats why we want MS to include it.
Best Regards Lars Kruse. So rude and hostile, you don't have to yell.
You don't address DriverPacks that I mentioned. If all one needs is updated drivers of one kind or another, I would certainly point someone to before nLite. NLite has so much more capability which is why I mentioned both. Secondly, the 'average user' has absolutely no idea how to install Windows, what's involved, what's going to happen because of it, what they need to do so or what preparations they should make before attempting it. I build, update and repair people's computers for a living, and no average user I've ever met has ever attempted to install Windows themselves; which makes sense since they are not a technie like me, but a user. None of them even want to know how to install Windows, and believe me I have no interest in keeping the secrets of installing Windows shrouded in mystery.
I am actually the opposite and have learned the hard way to hold back the information that I find my customers don't even want, but if they are sincerely interested and have questions, then I answer them to the appropriate extent depending on the person. A couple of my customers have asked me slightly more advanced questions, but still not approaching wanting to know how to install Windows themselves. According to what's been said before your post, they are actually concerned with just SATA drivers, but not updated RAID drivers of any sort.
I use and encourage RAID in all systems I build. No matter what MS included, there would continue to be current and future chipsets which SP3 would not include drivers for. This was not the intention of SP3 in the first place, and you're talking about a more than six year old OS; albeit the most popular and rightly so Windows ever.
Whether we hate Vista more than like it, we have to temper what we would like with reality. Third, I and many other techies I associate with have never been concerned whether MS supports nLited images or not. My customers always come to me first and I'm happy to help them. And through my use of nLite I am able to put far superior and resilient installations of Windows on my customer's systems.
My aim has always been to make computers as self-sustaining as possible, so that the customer gets the best performance without having to concern themselves with the details. I hope this wasn't too longwinded but I felt it was neccessary. Sorry 'bout the outburst. I have a tendency to bee hotheaded.
The reason i was so negative is that i read your input as counter-productive to 'the cause'. The request for this driver support is widespread. I must stress that AHCI is not a RAID driver, nor is it some special feature on a few motherboards. It is the replacement for standard IDE /ATAPI (including 'normal' SATA ) on mainstream motherboards and mainstream systems from HP, Lenovo etc. The driver is included i Windows Vista.
What we ask for is an equivalent to the 'standard dual channel PCI IDE controller' - ATAPI.SYS. ATAPI.SYS works with just about every chipset and many - if not most - separate IDE or SATA chips. It allows you to boot an gived basic functionallty in windows without hardware specific drivers. I apologise for the lecture if you allready know this - was not sure, reading your post Peace:-) lars. XP SP3 setup unfortunately does not integrate a generic AHCI driver to allow installation on a SATA drive set up to run in native mode.
Without such a driver manufacturer specific drivers have to be supplied with F6 and floppy method, or integrated manually onto the installtion CD. Without the driver present the setup will either report no drives present or bluescreen. If the SATA controller is setup in IDE mode in BIOS, installation is possible buit changing the controller back to AHCI mode will require a reboot which will result in a bluescreen. A repair installation CD with integrated AHCI drivers will work to fix it.
Dear Lars and Kevin: Although this tread appears to be somewhat old, I felt very much encouraged to add my two cents to it. Actually, my post is more of a 'thank you' sort, than of a collaborative sort - I couldn't ever surpass or even equal both your contributions.
As I said before, this post is to thank you gentlemen, for pointing me the right direction to go, in order to solve the SATA problem in my machine. Here's a quick spec of it: - ABIT NF7-S rev.
2 Motherboard (with two SATA ports + two ATAPI IDE 133 ports); - AMD Athlon XP 2800+ processor; - 1 GB RAM (very soon to be 2.5GB.); - 120GB storage, split into 2 separate HDs (formerly); 500GB storage, in a SATA HD (currently, thanks to both of you, gentlemen); - XFX video card - 256MB video memory, Nvidia chipset; - Windows 2000 Professional. So anyways, the story is that since 1996 I've always built and upgraded my own machines, dealing with all the hassles, mishaps and frustrations myself. Prior to that, I learned the basics by having worked as a hardware technician for over 3 years. I can safely say I usually know my way around. But even with my hands-on experience, this SATA issue really gave me the most headaches I can remember of. Simply unbelievably frustrating.
As you can both already tell, I recently decided to upgrade my machine by adding a Maxtor STM3500320AS SATA storage and more RAM. So the SATA HD arrived 3 days ago, and getting past the 'INACCESSIBLEBOOTDEVICE' BSOD was my nightmare for the last 3 days. My problem was slightly different than the average, as a Google search turned out, since most solutions pointed to 'adding the SATA drivers by hitting F6 key' during the XP installation procedure. My problem was, I already had a running installation (migrated from the old ATA disks to the SATA unit via Norton Ghost) and I had no intention whatsoever to start it all over again with a fresh Windows install, just because of this SATA issue - in my opinion, this would be ridiculous. So I decided to venture into this F6 solution anyways, only by slightly changing the proccess - I went all the way by booting with the W2K Setup CD and hitting F6, but instead of reinstalling (F3), I tried the repair option, which to my luck (and Thank God Almighty), proved to be successful for me.
As I presumed, the repair option copied the driver files, previously loaded from my motherboard manufacturer's floppy, to my current installation, thus enabling it to 'see' my SATA drive. What a fluke!! So anyways, thank you gentlemen for giving me the necessary pointers. And I might add, reading through your discussion was a delight to me as well.

Creat XP ghost image working on all computers Hi all Note: Befor going through tutorial,i would like to say thank you to all good friends from all over world,that i have never seen them and they have never seen me,just we have got familier through web pages and my small tutors. This is 15th day of our new year in my country, and in this 15 days i have got a lot of kindly messages from kind friends,and these messages make me to know that i am alive and there are a lot of persons that like me. Thanks a lot,live happy and helthy,have very very good life. Several months ago,when searching web pages i have seen a lot of new programs to make ghost image of windows XP easyly.But all of them was working in languge that i did not know,so it was very difficut for me to understand and took a lot of time to know how to use them. And at last i found a very nice program that has english GUI and makes syspreping (then ghosting) of windows XP very easy and automatic.and the result works with almost all kind of mainboards.
Needs: - System Preparation Assisted Tool:At his time Spat6.0.0beta2 can be downloaded from link below (9.83MB): SkyDriver: At this Time SkyDriver 9.9 can be downloaded from links below: SkyDriver link removed containing WAREZ 1.This tutor will work just for drive C:,So Install your favorite Windows XP (sp2 or sp3) in drive C: (No different if you install or not install your system drivers). 2.Istall all your favorite programs like Office,FireFox,7zip, and. And test them to be sure they are working. 3.Install any windows updates that you need.
4.Make all your favorite customizations in your system. 5.Delete all unneeded files like files in temp folder and.then Empty Recycle bine. 6.Extract Spat6.0.0beta2.exe some where forexample your desktop. 7.Extract SkyDriver to C: Sysprep directory. 8.Make your favorite Back ground picture (800x600 0r 1024x768 24bit JPG),Name it setup.jpg and put it in C: Sysprep directory. This is the background picture that you will see after applying the final ghost image to any computer,during first Boot.
(See pic01.jpg from attachment). 9.You can put more files inside C: Sysprep directory like directx and.that will be run during 1st boot (If you give the assosiated commands that i will tell about them during tutor) and will be added to your installed system automatically. 10.Run Spat6.0.0beta2.exe,If every thing is ready to begin,it will show message,OK it. 11.The main page of Spat6 will be shown (See pic02-A).Do as below: A Go to general tab select all. B click on 'background picture',Then select C: Sysprep setup.jpg,then click preview to show your picture,then OK. C Go to Interface tab and in 'Run before mini-setup' section give infor mation below (as you see in pic02-: C: Sysprep DrvS3.exe Note: as i told in step 9 you can put other tools in C: Sysprep directory that as you see in pic02-B,i have typed commands for thee other programs to be integrated to our deployed system and will be run during mini setup.but for this tutor you do not need them. D Go to Reseal tab select your favorites.
E Back to General tab and click on sysprep 12.Spat starts working (About 1 or 2 minutes) then when the job is finished,it's window will be closed.wait about 1 minute,then shut Down computer. Very nice tutorial, just few things to add up, 1. Do not use hard coded path i.e C: sysprep file.exe, instead use,%systemdrive% sysprep file.exe. This way, it becomes universal, and yes i have tested it in the past with these kind of tools ( yes there are at least 3 more tools like this one ) 2. The skydriver archive got updated on 22th March 2010 along with the core exe and everest driver., you shared the one from from early 2009. You did not mention the patch which takes care of dual core issue in xp sp3. It is stand alone patch made by YLMF in early 2008 i guess by the name of DualCorePatch.exe.
If you need to save space or to make gho image tiny, there is a method to pack program files folder in 7z, delete the one from your system drive and pace sfx file in sysprep folder, which you can call later during mini setup. Thanks shirin zaban for this great tutorial i will test it this week.
The skydrivers its not warez and it can be used for free. What the people do with them its another thing. The only thing is missing for making this a totally free tutorial its using the greate program SAVEPART replacing ghost. The backup partition must have fat32 file system to make the backup from freedos. If you make the backup from livexp or vistape you can save the backup in ntfs partition. I'm using Savepart and it works perfect for this kind of projects.
Windows Xp Sp3 Ghost File With Drivers
Hey @ Shirin Zaban thanks, this will make things easier for me, as i use Ghost image daily, i have one Question, i have deployed one Ghost image of windows XP SP3, which was build on PC (AMD+Nvidia), it works on all PC but not with ICH8/ICH9/ICH10 & specially with AMD RAID. I get BSOD, i can Install ICH8 driver offline but not for ICH9 or new or not for AMD RAID, in such case after restoring Image, i have to repair XP using bootable image with integrated ICH & RAID drivers. Is thr any better solution for this. Or this will work perfectly for all the PC? How can i add my drivers (Specially ICH9/ICH10 & all AMD RAID drivers). Thanks in Advance.^^.
