Many users with such system have problems, when they try to install Windows XP (32/64 bit) or Windows Server 2003 (32/64 bit), because the Setup of these Operating Systems will not automaticly detect the hdd's, which are connected to the Intel S-ATA AHCI or Intel SATA RAID ports of the mainboard.

@ all users with a NVIDIA nForce RAID or AHCI system: Introduction The problem: None of the Pre-Vista Windows Operating Systems do support the S-ATA Controller features RAID ('Redundant Array of Independent Disks') and AHCI ('Advanced Host Controller Interface'). Unless the suitable nForce Sata/PataRAID or AHCI drivers are separately presented by the user, the OS installation fails, because the OS Setup doesn't find the related RAID/AHCI drives and their partitions. The traditional method to provide the needed drivers by F6/floppy has some severe disadvantages: • A floppy drive is needed, but not available at many actual desktop computers and notebooks. • Floppy disks are the worst data storage media regarding the file integrity. Bad floppy disks are the main reason for corrupted driver files.

Even if the user loads the correct nForce drivers and the RAID is detected by Windows Setup, the OS installation may end with a BSOD and endless reboot loops. The better alternative is the integration of the needed textmode drivers into a bootable OS CD. Only this way the user can be sure to succeed with the installation of the OS onto an nForce RAID or AHCI system.

Nevertheless the developers of the driver integration method had to solve the above specified problem (see point 3). Free Download Songs From Tamil Movie Kadhalan. Until 2005 the correct installation of the nForce S-ATA/P-ATA Controllers and drivers needed addtional manual work of the user. They only succeeded after having created special folders and edited some SIF and/or OEM files.

The solution: The safest and easiest way to get the problematic nForce textmode drivers properly installed is to integrate them by using a tool like nLite. All actual versions of nLite (Since v1.0 Final) have incorporated a special method, which guarantees the successful OS installation onto any nForce RAID or AHCI system (if the user observes some rules layed down below). The replacement of the correct nForce Controllers and drivers by the 'wrong' MS IDE ones will be prevented by the built-in suppression of the MS IDE drivers during the hardware detection part of the OS installation. Advantages: • fully automatic method (without creating new directories or editing SIF or OEM files) • support of not digitally signed textmode drivers • without restriction of any kind during the use of nLite Who needs to load/integrate which nForce IDE driver subfolder? You can get NVIDIA nForce chipset deskop computers and laptops with the following variations: • non-RAID/AHCI nForce systems (RAID/AHCI not supported or disabled): Users with such system don't have to load/integrate any nForce IDE drivers. • nForce RAID systems (SataRAID or PataRAID): NForce Users with enabled RAID settings within the BIOS need to load/integrate the LEGACY (for NF2-4 chipsets) or the SATARAID subfolder of the suitable nForce chipset driverpack as TEXTMODE driver.
