Importing inf file

[Guest]

Currently i have a promise raid card, but how to i import the driver to the target image?

Mervyn,

Is it "Win XP Promise FastTrak 376 (tm) Controller"? Then componentizing it
will be no problem at all.I've done that pretty quickly and it works like a
charm for me.
Just find Fasttx2k.inf file on your XP Pro installation on the same machine
and import in CD.
You will also need Fasttx2k.sys and Fasttx2k.cat. I added scsi.inf to my
component tobe more flexible.

Let us know if you are stuck componentizing the driver.

Dear KM

But i still can't boot up using the image i have built, so even copying the file to a CD i can't read it, so any alternative solution

Thanks

Mervyn,

Perhaps here you can find some info about RAID boot problems.

First you must import it from CD, you did that right?
Also make sure that this component marks driver as boot critical.

Then if you have errors please tell us error number code. Also if you know how to use kernel debugger (kd, windbg) it would be good
if you could use
"!devnode 0 1" To see if all chipset drivers were loaded that are required to support RAID controller.

Best regards,
Slobodan

Could you be more specific on what error(s) you see? BSOD?
What steps exactly you have already performed?

KM,

sorry for the inclarity, maybe i will describe the procedure in detail

On normal IDE,
1. I boot up the windows xp with the embedded tools (Disk 1)
2. I build the target to second hard disk (Disk 2)
3. Retart the computer
4. Install the RAID (Promise) driver
5. Plug the IDE to the Raid Card
6. After that, i tried to restart but having problem and get the error of
STOP 0x00000007b

Please advise. Thanks

How do you "install" the driver?
Please read how to componentize a 3rd party driver for XPe:

You are missing a critical boot driver which Promise RAID driver is.
