KT6V install XP Sp2 Sata NO FLOPPY? nlite help?

I've been going nuts trying to install XP SP2 onto a SATA drive. Basically the XP2 install CD loads and says there are no hard drives found.
The floppy controller on my KT6V seems to be dead (never used it before).
So I've been trying to create a customized XP install using nlite with no luck.
I've created three CDs now but none of them see the hard drive.
The SATA hard drive was formatted and is visible in my Win2000 system. I power down, unplug the Win2K drive, and then boot from the CD to try to install XP on the new drive.
Can anyone walk me through what it takes to create an nlite customized install that includes the SATA drivers so I can install without a floppy? (I would love to meet the programmer that decided drivers could only be loaded from a floppy...)
Thanks.

That's where I started 3 days ago!
Maybe some more specific questions.
Which specific drivers from the 5.30c Via drivers should I be integrating into my XP setup disk image?
NT4? NT5?
From which folder?
DRVDISK?
i386?

How to install WinXP on SATA without floppy drive?

Hi.
Is it possible to install WinXP on PC (with SATA) without floppy drive?
WinXP installer itself doesn't recognize SATA controller, so floppy disk with drivers is included.
But my PC doesn't have any floppy drive (what a relic. none of new PCs should contain a floppy).
How could I install WinXP on my PC? (without buying & mounting floppy drive).
(maybe one of DVD drives, ethernet or flash drive could be used somehow)
thanks.

You can download the article, but you need to do it from your web browser. File -> Save as.

Jeremy,
If you are having to do that all the time, then there is something else wrong with your computing habbits.

I used to try out programs on my old laptop and some of them weren't as clean as I had hoped. So I used to reinstall windows on it all the time. Luckily windows had all the drivers for my laptop so I didn't have to slipstream the drivers, but I probably reinstalled windows every other week. I just figured it was better to try a program on a computer that I didn't rely on rather than my main rig.
Have Fun

WinXP PRO install issue with SATA RAID floppy on P45D3

Hello,
My objective is to set up 2 RAID volumes (one in RAID0 + one in RAID1) using Intel RAID Matrix Manager.
After having enabled RAID mode on BIOS, created the 2 RAID volumes and pressed F6 at the beginning of WinXP PRO installation without any problem, I am stuck when one file from Intel SATA RAID driver floppy needs to be written on the disk.
The problem appears after having confirmed the partition I want to install WinXP on. I got the following message:
"Cannot write iaStor.sys" . And I have to cancel the installation.
I do not know where this file has to be written ... Additionally, this file was perfectly read (and written somewhere) just after having pressed "S" and provided the floppy during the first phase of WinXP installation.
Any suggestion to help me ?
Thanks
My config (partial):
- P45 D3 Platinum with E8500 Dual Core
- 2G DDR3
- 2x 500G SATA2 HDD

How did you solved this ?
I Googled and found this page which was very useful (the blue text is a link; you can click on it).
In fact I already knew how to do it using nLite (which I normally use), but now I tried their F6 floppy advice for educational purposes and that worked as well!
Key is that the files have to be present twice, on different locations on the floppy...

How to Install a 2nd SATA drive

Hi,
I asked this before and got many views to my question but no responses, so I thought I would try one more time.
I have a PM G4 Gigabit ethernet and have two ATA drives installed and one SATA drive installed via a SATA PCI card.
What I would like to know is how do you or can you install a second SATA drive on top of the one that's already there? There is room for it to fit on top of the one I have installed, but the sled only provides for one to be mounted. The ATA sled is configured for two.
Any way to get a sled that fits where the SATA drives are installed, or how is that done? My PCI card does have an available SATA connector.
Sorry for the seemingly basic question, but I really don't know the answer.
Thanks,
Bob

Thnaks for the response David. Well, bot do I feel silly. I now see what I somehow never saw before. there is a space in between the ATA driove slots and the SATA drive slot whicvh is where the 4th drive fits. Well, Duuuhhhh?
I have thought of going with a SATA external drive, thing is there are not many SATA external drives out there, also would need a SATA pci card for that. I see that Firm Tek is just now getting into that so I may wait a while. Its' a 160GB SATA drive so it would be a nice addition to backups, testing drives etc.
So what part of Georgia?

I can't install wli sp2 with wls sp4

I try to install wlintegration sp2 with wlserver sp4 on HP UX 11 and when I select
the bea home directory, this message appear:
WebLogic Server 6.1 SP 2
is a prerequisite for this installation.
You do not seem to have it installed to /opt/bea:
What can I do to install it, bea site only has wlserver sp4 for HP UX 11, not

If it's an upgrade version you wont need win 2000 present, even a copy of dos would be sufficient

DISK ERROR and also HAL.DLL error - I can't install XP SP2

Hi guys,
I'm at my wits end and am fed up by errors I've been getting trying to install XP SP2. I bought my Mac because of bootcamp interoperability as I need to use Windows applications for my work, so I get the best of both worlds. Parallels is out of the question as I don't get the speed I need.
I have a late-2007 revision 24" iMac (3gb/24"/2.4 C2D) and had Bootcamp running perfectly before upgrading to Leopard (with 10.4.9/10) - almost too perfect: it just worked! I have since upgraded to Leopard and today went to reinstall Windows as I did a clean install and wiped everything to start from scratch.
I have spent 4 hours reading forum after forum trying permutation after permutation of options and can't get it to work. I get
DISK ERROR
PRESS ANY KEY TO RESTART
When installing on any volume size using Fat32, and if I format NTFS, I get an error about a missing HAL.DLL.
I have verified that under both Fat32 files are copied as expected. Confirmed drive format as Fat32.
I also have the latest firmware update that was delivered a week or so ago via software update. I don't know if this could be the cause?
This is frustrating me beyond belief. If anyone can help, it'd be very very much appreciated.

I have also been having serious issues, and this worked for me also. Before (In Leopard with BootCamp 2.0) I could partition ok, and everything else, but the Windows installer just wouldn't give me the option of reformatting the drive (formatted to FAT32 by BootCamp v. 2) to NTFS. To re-iterate, if you're having these DISK ERROR problems, do the following:
Backup all files
Use Leopard/Tiger install disk to wipe the entire hard drive (all volumes mac and pc) with Disk Utility (this may not be necessary, but it could clear up the problem)
Install Tiger (10.4)
Run Bootcamp (in Tiger), partition, install Windows, and install drivers
Install Leopard (you may choose "erase" within the Installer since this will just wipe the Mac partition)
Now you're good to go. For running Bootcamp on Tiger, you will need to download BootCamp beta 1.4, there is at least one mirror (and a 1.3 one too) that you can easily find with google. Also, if you're having trouble installing with the beta after December 2007, try setting back the clock and disconnecting from the Internet.
Although it is very strange that Bootcamp 2.0 (or Leopard) have broken the ability to install.

CSM 3.3.1 - deployment bug? after installing SP1&SP2

Hi all,
I've recently installed CSM 3.3.1 with SP1 and SP2 and I've encountered quite serious (for me) problem. Has anyone met strange situations after installing service packs?
When I discover new device (i.e. router with 15.1 ios version) and make changes in ZBF policy, CSM deploys new configuration and everything seems to be fine. I must stress that only seems.
When for example I want to make only small changes to that device (by adding new username ans password) I make "preview configuration" and I see that CSM deletes part of ZBF policy - 10 of 12 zone-pair. For example for some reasons manager makes "no service-policy ...." in zone-pair. When I do another "preview configuration" (after adding another username) it deletes those empty zone-pairs. I thoung maybe naming doesn't suit it and I need to recreate all policy through CSM - nooooo. It did not help. Still it tried to delete some of policy.
Even when I created all ZBF policies from CSM Ive got situation when in one preview config it removes security-policy from zone-pair and after deployment in second preview it adds these security-policies to previous zone-pair. Its happaning in a loop.
Or another strange behaviour is when I add new username it does sth like this:
In "preview configuration" there is
policy-map type inspect CSM_ZBF_POLICY_MAP_1
no class class-default
class class-default
drop
while in GUI in CSM there is action inspect defined.
I've looked through bugtool, but with no success, so need any help.
regards

hi,
thx for interest,
I didn't open the TAC case casue I didn't have much time for it, however the issue is resolved. It occured that SP2 to CSM was problematic. Right now I've got 3.3.1 version with SP1 and everything works just fine. To make sure that it was it, I installed then SP2 and the problem started again.
I don't have configuration saved but actually there wasn't much of it. It was a fresh system and only 1 or 2 devices ware added so I suppose it should be easy to restore the situation.
if you got any new info please let me know
regards

In order to fix this, I need to run:
PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade b2b -force -inplace -cmd application content -install -cmd install features
But SP doesn’t recognize “b2b”. is the the content or config db?
Thanks in advanced

Your Syntax is bad. b2b should follow -inplace, it doesn't make sense anywhere else in the command. Have a look here for more detail:

Can't install XP SP2 with my KT4AV

I'm having trouble installing XP SP2 Upgrade (from win 2k) with my KT4AV motherboard.
I get to a point where setup is coping files from the CD (after first reboot) and it asks for VIAIDE.SYS. I can browse to the file on the CD (or the HD) and hit OK. The system then brings up the following dialog box.
Dialog box title:
Hardware Installation
Dialog box text:
The software you are installing for this hardware:
VIA Bus Master IDE Controller
Has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows XP
Continuing your installation of this software may impair or destabilize the correct operation of your system either immediately or in the future. Microsoft strongly recommends that you stop this installation now and contact the hardware vendor for software that has passed windows Logo testing.
Do you want to continue installing the software for this hardware?
Yes or No?
I have tried both options and have the same ultimate results. If I say no it generates a infobox saying I quit and then reboots back into the XP setup looking for the viaide.sys file. If I say yes it the screen flashes and the system reboots to the same place….Darned it I do darned if I don’t.
Where do I go from here?

If it's an upgrade version you wont need win 2000 present, even a copy of dos would be sufficient

AppleWorks is a very old application and requires Rosetta to run under recent systems.
Lion does not include Rosetta.

Hey there Frank0619,
If you have not been able to install iTunes because the Windows Installer service is not available, I would recommend the troubleshooting in the following troubleshooting to help.
Issues installing iTunes for Windows
These in particular:
Make sure you have an administrator account.
To install iTunes, you'll need to log in to your computer with an administrator password. If you're not sure if you have an administrator account, read Windows 7: How do I log on as an administrator? You could also refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
Install the latest Microsoft Windows updates.
To download the latest updates, visit the Microsoft Windows Update website. iTunes for Windows requires Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 with the latest Service Pack installed. If you can’t install the updates, refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
Download the latest version of iTunes.
The latest version of iTunes can be downloaded at http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
Disable conflicting software.
Some Windows background processes can cause issues for other programs and processes. These conflicts can prevent applications, such as iTunes, from installing. Disable conflicting processes by starting your computer using MSConfig:
Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows XP
Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8
Some security software made by other companies can't be disabled using MSConfig. If you've installed security software and you're having issues installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows, you might need to disable or uninstall security software to resolve installation issues.
Restart your computer.
Install iTunes.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Iphone 3gs no longer will work after iOs5 update,comes up with message ' there is no sim card installed in the phone. Can anyone help me please. I am working as a volunteer in a remote location in Asia and no where near an Apple shop etc?

I have tried to update my 3GS phone and now it longer works as it comes up with message there is no sim card installed in the phone. Can anyone help please as I am no where near technical support as I am working as volunteer in remote Asian country

Hi Allan,
Thanks for asking, I knew I had forgotten to mention something. The phone was indeed unofficially unlocked, since there were no apple stores or even premium resellers in the region I lived in during the given procedure had to be done.
I understand this could be a further complication, especially the fact the home button does not work. However, I was wondering if there would be a possibility to use a third-party application instead of iTunes to restore the iPhone? IF someone does know of such an application, I could easily solve further problems myself. Basically, the main issue here is my lack of ability to enter DFU mode.
