Original Txtsetup.sif
I tried to get this done for three or four weeks, found many guides but none really worked. This is why i was writing this howto. It explains how to integrate raid drivers into the txtsetup.sif so you don't have to use a Textmode setup where you cannot use the recovery console or install new raid drivers using the F6 Floppy option. You even don't need to create an unattended setup.
Helloi am make windows xp for usb but problem file txtsetup.sif show this Messageinf file txtsetup.sif is corrupt or missing status 18please help meI want t. TXTSETUP.SIF download at 2shared. File TXTSETUP.SIF download at www.2shared.com.
These steps will create a 'original' setup but with drivers for your raid controller. This means no winnt.sif is needed or $OEM$ directories are required! What you need! A) original Microsoft Windows XP Setup-CD b) bbie c) working driver for your raid controller. In this howto im using the nvidia nforce raid driver 6.99 d) CD burning application (i recommend Nero 6) e) the target system (where the raid controller is in) has to work, you'll need some information! How to begin? A) download and extract bbie to c: XPCD bbie.

B) get the original setup cd for XP Professional or Home and insert it into your cd drive. C) open a command line (start run cmd) and change directory to c: XPCD bbie. Run bbie.exe X: (instead of X:, enter the driver letter of the drive in which the original setup cd is, often D:) d) move image1.bin to c: XPCD and rename it to boot.bin e) now edit the settings of windows explorer so all hidden and system files can be seen! F) copy the whole content of the original setup cd to c: XPCD content. Do not use an unattended or recovery cd as source!
G) in C: XPCD content remove the directories ' DOCS', ' DOTNETFX', ' SUPPORT' and ' VALUEADD' h) in C: XPCD content I386 remove the directories ' WIN9XMIG', ' WIN9XUPG' and ' WINNTUPG'. Getting the driver (if you already have the latest stable drivers for your device, continue with step 4.) a) you should check for latest drivers for your raid controller now. Before you integrate, copy the driver on a floppy and start the setup with the original setup cd. Press F6 nearly at the beginning of the setup (blue background), insert the floppy and select the devices you need. If the drivers are working, use them. If not, get older / newer versions and check google if there are known problems with the drivers for a specific device (eg.

NVIDIA nForce4 intel chipsets). If you want to install the nVIDIA RAID on a system with nVIDIA nForce 4 Intel Edition chipset, use the driver1.zip attached to this post and driver2.zip attached to the next post. These are the latest stable and working drivers for that chipset! B) after you've chosen the best driver, download and extract it to c: XPCD content $OEM$ $1 and change into that directory. Preparing the driver a) if there are more than one inf files included in the driver package you have to try which file you need. Open the device manager, double-click on the device you are preparing the drivers for and change to the 'Details' tab.
Write down the Hardware-ID (which looks like PCI VEN1106&DEV0571). Open directory c: XPCD content $OEM$ $1 IV. Open the first inf file, press f3 (search) and input the Hardware-ID you got in step 4.II., but we only need VEN1106 and DEV0571, you can forget everything after DEV0571. Your Hardware-ID is different but format is the same, eg.
PCI VEN1106&DEV0571. Before you press Enter, copy the whole Hardware-ID. You have to search some more files, copy&paste at its best V. Repeat step 4.IV. Until you find a match.
If you found a match, close the file and continue with step 4.VI. B) if there is only one inf file or if you know which files you need, start here VI. Copy the inf file of your driver (or the one you found in step 4.V.) into the directory drivertest on your Desktop. Open the inf file you saved in Desktop driverkey and look for filenames in it. Write down all filenames you find in a new txtfile and save it to Desktop driverkey as drivernames.txt. Also copy all files from c: XPCD content $OEM$ $1 to Desktop driverkey which filenames matches the ones you found. Remove the directory c: XPCD content $OEM$ and move everything of Desktop driverkey into c: XPCD content I386.
Editing the files a) TXTSETUP.SIF I. Open c: XPCD content I386 TXTSETUP.SIF and search for WinntDirectories. Jump to the end of the line and press enter. Now input 300 = nvidia raid. Instead if nvidia you could use intel or adaptec, etc.
The path specified here will be created in%SYSTEMROOT% (normally c: WINDOWS). SourceDisksFiles idecoi.dll = 1,300,0,0 nvata.cat= 1,300,0,0 nvatabus.inf = 1,300,0,0 nvatabus.sys = 1,300,0,0 nvatabus.sys = 100,4,0,0,1,4 nvcoi.dll= 1,300,0,0 nvraid.cat = 1,300,0,0 nvraid.inf = 1,300,0,0 nvraid.sys = 1,300,0,0 nvraid.sys = 100,4,0,0,1,4 nvraidco.dll = 1,300,0,0 bootvid.dll = 1,3,2,0,0,1,2 kdcom.dll= 1,3,2,0,0,1,2 c1252.nls = 1,3,2,0,0,1,2. Note that you have to list the sys files twice. One copy goes into%SYSTEMROOT% system32 drivers and the other copy into%SYSTEMROOT% nvidia raid where all the other driver files get copied to!
Search for HardwareIdsDatabase, jump to the end and press enter. Now input the Hardware-IDs the driver is supporting (you can find the HIDs in the txtsetup.oem of your driver in the sections HardwareIds.scsi. or in the inf files. I did what you adviced, and the installer does not find the sys file, and the setup process halts. I put all driver files into the i386 directory, as you suggested, did not work. Then I did a makecab on the sys file, and added the resulting.sy file to the i386 directory.
Then I removed the original files (.cat,.inf.,.sys) and did a makecab on all of them (separately) and put all the resulting 5 files (with extensions (.ca,.in,.sy) but it did not help. The 5 files are: iaahci.cat iaahci.inf iastor.cat iastor.inf iastor.sys I attached the txtsetup.oem file (as txtsetup.txt, since the uploader did not let me to upload the.oem file).
