Problems seeing Raid

Hello,

I am new to WB but have been working with it for several days now using LiveXp.

I can get everything to work on any machine I have tired with regards to lan drivers (using the driver packs)
however I have several HP servers (DL580, DL380, etc) that use the Smart Array 5i+ and for the life of me I can not see any drive on the array when booted into the PE. (I am using XP2p2 as the source for the build)


I came upon this thread:
http://www.boot-land...mp;hl=PENetwork

which suggests that you can just drop in the drivers via the penetwork screen. I have done this several times and in every case no drives show up. I even went as far as to create a fat32 parttion on the server just to make sure it was not an NTFS issue.

Can anyone please shed some light into how I can add the driver for my mass storage controller (again coming from the driver pack distro) or at least how to troubleshoot this?


Thanks.

Have you tried to slipstream the network drivers directly into your Windows installation source?

Try nLite
www.nliteos.com

A script integrating DriverPacks is a similar concept but if you directly slipstream the exact network driver you know it's in there!

Note that it (nLite) cannot be used for comcercial purposes

Thanks for the reply.. I have not tried that approach yet but I was hoping to be able to use the livexp as per the thread I quoted so I could just drop the drivers into the folder and go without having to use another process to do the build.

Does anyone else have any feedback on the thread in question that could shed some light on this?


Thanks...

Have you tried my mass storage script?

http://galapo.boot-l...eDrivers.script

The latest DPs mass storage pack and be added to a nativeEx-based build.

Hope this helps and it would be good to hear if it works for you!

I am finally starting to make some progress. Thanks for the pointers.

I do have one question at the moment - can you please explain where
%GlobalTemplates%\DPs\MassStorage is supposed to point to?

Can anyone comment on where the %GlobalTemplates% path is supposed to resolve to?

Thanks...

'%GlobalTemplates%' should be specified in the 'script.project' file as: '%GlobalTemplates%=%GlobalSupport%\Common'. '%GlobalSupport%' should be specified as: '%GlobalSupport%=%BaseDir%\Workbench'.
