ULi SATA Controller M1573 On Win XP Unattended

Hello all,
Some time ago, before I did Win's monthly reïnstall I got the idea of preparing an unattended setup since these reïnstalls aways take so damn long
to recover from.
Anyway, I delved myself into the subject and sort of hit a wall when it came to integrating the SATA driver. After alot of googling and messing
about with the various files (txtsetup.sif, txtsetup.oem, winnt.sif) I finally got it to working correctly.
However, this was some time ago. And now i'm trying to do the same but I lost nearly all the setupfiles and the iso, and i can't remember for the life
of me how i managed to get it to work.
At the moment I'm using what looks to me like the most straight-forward method.
Create an Unattended Installation of Third-Party Mass Storage Drivers in Windows Server 2003
I have searched the same site for the same subject relevant to XP but didn't find anything. And since the discription of the Sata Driver states
Windows XP/Server 2003 i figured this would be the same.
And thus I have prepared the relevant files & folders as the following:
xpcd
|- i386
| | - m5287.sys
| | - TXTSETUP.sif
| | - winnt.sif
|
|- $OEM$
| |- Disk1
| |- TXTSETUP.OEM
| | |- TEXTMODE
| | |- m5287.sys
| | |- ulisata.cat
| | |- ULISATA.INF
TEXTSETUP.OEM:
no changes
TXTSETUP.sif:
no changes
winnt.sif:
added the following entries:
[Unattended]
OemPreinstall=Yes
[MassStorageDrivers]
"ULi SATA Controller (M1573, Windows XP/Server 2003)" = "OEM"
"IDE CD-ROM (ATAPI 1.2)/PCI IDE Controller" = "RETAIL"
[OEMBootFiles]
ulisata.cat
ULISATA.INF
m5287.sys
Details:
Mobo is MSI RD480 Neo2
SATA driver is ULi SATA Controller M1573 (32bit)
The OS that i'm trying to integrate this driver with is Windows XP Pro SP3
Also I use a virtual PC to test the setup, makes life easier and saves me some hair. So after this all is done I make the iso and boot the pc with from
the iso, and during the loading of driver files I get the following error:
"File txtsetup.oem caused an unexpected error (18) at line 1742 in d:\xpsp1\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c"
can someone help me get this straightened out?

@Stu: could you update your post, as it contains a few broken links.
MSFN Guide: http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/
The XpCreate link might be broken, tough it seemed to me the site was down (tried the link on msfn forums aswell).
Thanks for the heads up; I've edited the MSFN link, and removed the XPCreate link, as it is no longer available.

Strange IDE/SATA Driver prob in Win XP w/K8N Neo Plat (skt 754)

This is my first attempt at building on the Socket 754 A64 platform.
Previously I've built systems based on Intel and AMD solutions, and encountered different boards with mixed SATA/IDE and RAID options.
My installed drives include
SATA1 primary master
1. WD 160 8mb cache 7200RPM SATA drive
IDE1 primary master
1. Memorex 8x/4x/8x/4x/16x DVD+-RW 48x/32x/48x CDRW
Upon installing WinXP with the MSI provided RAID and NVIDIA SATA drivers to a single WD 160GB SATA drive with the RAID options in bios disabled, I get a successful install. However, listed under System -> Device Manager -> IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers are 4 different components.
1. Nvidia CK8S Serial ATA Controller (v2.5)
2. Nvidia CK8S Serial ATA Controller (v2.5)
3. Nvidia Nforce3 250 Parallel ATA Controller (v2.6)
4. Standard IDE/ESDI Hard Disk Controller
Hardware translation:
1. Device type: IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers
Manufacturer: NVIDIA Corporation
Location: PCI bus 0, device 10, function 0
2. Device type: IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers
Manufacturer: NVIDIA Corporation
Location: PCI bus 0, device 9, function 0
3. Device type: IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers
Manufacturer: NVIDIA Corporation
Location: PCI bus 0, device 8, function 0
4. Device type: IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers
Manufacturer: NVIDIA Corporation
Location: Unknown
The 3rd device I listed above is not functioning correctly according to Win XP. However if I disable it, then the whole OS will crash, so it must be functioning somehow to some extent. Win XP says,
"This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)
If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system."
Originally this device was the same version as the other two, and when I tried upgrading all three to version 2.6, I recieved an error trying to upgrade with the first 2 devices and the 3rd upgraded but still shows that it is not working properly according to windows. Also looking at the drivers that they are all using,
Devices 1-3 all use nvatabus.sys and idecoi.dll ver: 5.10.2600.0446 . Its actually interesting that they all 3 are using the same drivers and one is reporting to be a different version.
Anyway, my question is has anyone else encountered this strange problem, and is there a fix to make windows happy and the computer perform as it should?
Thanks.

I don't know what has happened .
But you should right click the "4. Standard IDE/ESDI Hard Disk Controller" and uninstall it .
Then update drivers on the PATA controller 3. Nvidia Nforce3 250 Parallel ATA Controller (v2.6) (right click/driver/update)
And update the drivers to "Nvidia CK8S Parallell ATA Controller (v2.5)"
Use the supplied driver disk .
I guess you have anwered yes to install nvidia sw driver from the
nforce3 chipset bundle .And thats the reason for the NF3 v2.6 version .
I have v2.5 CK8S on both ATA and SATA controller (one of each)
Xp was installed with F6 and driver disk .

K8T Neo-FIS2R - P20378 Sata Controller option missing in BIOS. Cannot disable

A few hairs left....& those are disappearing quickly.......!!!!
I currently have Windows XP PRo running under a Promise SATA Drive. (NO RAID REQUIRED)
In order to allow for a fallback situation (which I am still using swapping between WIN XP & Vista), I found a 20GB IDE Disk attached it to the standard IDE controller & did a clean install of VISTA ULTIMATE on the 20GB Drive...So Far so good.
Next I booted up changed the boot sequence to pickup the 20GB IDE drive first ...Vista Came up....Still so far so good.
Then I found my mouse ...& both USB printers were not recognised.....2 days later I have them all going okay....one problem at a time....
The only issue left ... I cannot see the SATA Drive attached to the promise controller.....I have tried following a few of suggested methods to load the promise drivers that are around......still no luck. Most of the posts I see are around installing VISTA on a SATA drive...my case is just seeing a SATA drive this not the O/S disk.
Moving on ...no luck with the Promise Drives ...so I have tried changing to the VIA Controller by unplugging the SATA cord from the Promise controller & plugging into the VIA Controller ... I boot up & still no luck...The BIOS picks up the VIA change as I see a option to use <TAB> to setup RAID during bootup.. I do not want RAID only a single SATA Drive. One of the things I read was to turn off Promise via the BIOS settings . The manual indicates I need to access this by going to the "Onboard PCI Controller option", here I should be able to turn off the P20378 S.ata Controller...
my problem is ...I can see only the Lan Controller as a option to disable/ enable the other options including the P20378 S.ata Controller.. are not visible.. hence I am unable to disable the Promise SATA Controller within the BIOS..... HELP pretty please..... I can happily run VISTA but I do not have 150GB visible to me & my current disk space is tight.....I need that 150GB ...........
signed...frustated NOOB
PS I have the most recent drivers/ bios etc according the MSI's Online S/W synch tool (which I run in XP Pro as the vista version fails.... DOH)
MB --> K8T NEO FISR2
Memory 1GB
Appreciate your help ..... TA

I agree with Hans, as far as we know there are no drivers for Vista to use the Promise controller, yet.
Same old, same old, Vista and no drivers.
You just have to wait and hope there wil be Vista drivers for the Promise controller.

M93P and use of 2 HDD Controller | add additional SATA Controller

Hello,
Has anyone added a second HDD SATA controller to their ThnikCentre M93/p , my is a mini tower, to add SATA HDD ports to their setup. I have try to add a Marvell 88SE9230 based RAID HDD Controller as a second controller, but was not recognized.
Thanks for your help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I just added a 2-port PCIe SATA controller, Syba SI-PEX40061, to my M93p. Windows 7 recognized it and automatically installed drivers, and I subsequently installed updated drivers. It's based on Marvell 88SE9120 Chipset. When a HDD is attached, prior to boot, Win 7 hangs. If a HDD is connected after Win 7 has booted, it causes BSOD. Lenovo BIOS is setup for AHCI by default and I set it to allow legacy BIOS support, and the controller has AHCI by default. Still can't get controller to work. HAS ANYONE HAD LUCK WITH AN ADD-ON SATA CONTROLLER?

Sata Controller Drivers - Help!

I've had to replace the hard drive and have a brand new 120GB Seagate SATA 7200RPM 8MB Cache, however i do not have any of the original floppy discs or driver discs for the motherboard.
I've been to both the Intel & MSI site and neither of which have any SATA COntroller drivers, i need them as i want to load Win XP Pro SP2 onto the SATA and its my only drive!!
Please someone help!

You don't need any SATA drivers for WinXP and that board. The board just makes Windows see 2 more IDE channels. But you have to configure it properly in the BIOS.
Use Native Mode to enable both IDE channels and both SATA channels.
BIOS>>Integrated Peripherals>>On-Chip IDE Config.
Set like below (taken from Maesus FAQ)
Quote
For Native Mode:
ATA Configuration: SATA Only or PATA only, depending on which you want to be the FIRST BOOT device! (In your case use SATA Only)
S-ATA Keep Enabled: Yes if you chose PATA only
P-ATA Keep Enabled: Yes if you chose SATA Only
PATA Channel Selection: Both
Combined Mode Operation: PATA First/SATA First, depending on which you want to act as 1st Channel.
S-ATA Ports Definition: - P0-1st/P1-2nd or P0-3rd/P1-4th, depending on which you want to act as Master. (Use the P0-1st/P1-2nd for your case)
Q: What is S-ATA Ports Definition?
There are two options: P0-1st/P1-2nd and P0-3rd/P1-4th. If you choose P0-1st/P1-2nd, your Port-0 S-ATA (SER-1) will become the 1st IDE Master, ie IDE-1 Master. and Port-1 S-ATA (SER-2) will become 2nd IDE Master. If you plan to boot with SATA HDD, it's recommended to set to P0-1st/P1-2nd. If you plan to boot with PATA HDD, it's recommended to set to P0-3rd/P1-4th.
Then save the Bios and re-boot back into BIOS.
Go to BIOS>>Advanced features>>Boot Device Select and make sure the new SATA drive is in the list and where you want it (most people put after the floppy & CD/DVD drives).
If the above doesn't work, try the same settings above with ATA Configuration set to "PATA Only".
Don't worry if some settings above are greyed out. Changing any options causes others to be unavailable in some cases. Again remember to check the "Boot Device Select" menu after changing the IDE Config menu.
Make sure you read the FAQ from the link I posted above. Lots of good info you needed there; specifically the section on HDD's.

Compaq Presario v6346ea: Which type of SATA controller?

I've recently bought an Intel X25-M/G2 Solid State Drive and was expecting read speeds of 200 MB/s on my Compaq Presario v6346ea notebook. Instead of that the maximum speed I get from CrystalDiskMark is 135 MB/s.
Now I'm suspecting the SATA controller of my notebook to not being able to handle the speeds of this Solid State Drive.
I've looked on HP's website to find out which type of SATA controller is used in my Compaq Presario v6346ea but can't find find any clear info on that subject.
From what I read at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_ATA there are 3 types:
SATA Revision 1.0 (SATA 1.5Gb/s, max 150 MB/s throughput minus overhead.)
SATA Revision 2.0 (SATA 3Gb/s, max 300 MB/s minus overhead.)
SATA Revision 3.0 (SATA 6Gb/s, max 600 MB/s and up minus overhead)
Does anybody know which type of SATA controller is used in this Compaq Presario v6346ea notebook?

Thank you for the additional info. I ran SISoft Snadra and found some interesting stuff. For instance, it IDed the chipset as a mcp78s not a mcp77. It also indicates that it can use DDR3 memory. I'm not sure if that's accurate, as it conflicts with specs I've read elsewhere. If true, I wish I'd known that when I upgraded my RAM to 8GB. :-p Anyway, I've tried to determine the SATA revision, but I'm not sure if I'm going about it the right way. I went to "Storage Devices" and clicked the only available button: "Physical Disks , Storage adapters and devices". From there I can choose my internal hard drive from a menu, and it shows the maximum SATA mode as G2 / SATA300. But I'm not sure if this is in reference to the controller or the drive. I know that the drive is a SATA-II, so it would show that if it's displaying the drive's capabilities. It certainly tells me everything else I'd ever want to know about the drive. When I switch to my external USB HDD, it shows the maximum SATA as G3 / SATA600. For the DVD drive it shows G1 / SATA150. So I kind of think it's showing me the maximum capabilities of the drives, not the controllers. Is there some other way to check the maximum SATA capabilities of the hard drive controller? Sorry. I'm not too familiar with SISoft Sandra, and it's not really obvious to me. And given what it's turned up about the chipset and the memory support, I want to be sure here. Thanks.

SATA controller on K7N2G-ILSR "supports IDE"

I have a K7N2G-ILSR with the onboard Promise 20376 Serial ATA controller, which supposedly supports using the IDE3 port as a separate IDE channel to connect hard drives and CDRoms and whatnot. I have not been able to simply get the SATA controller to work with IDE. I have tried connecting a hard drive and optical drives. With the single hard drive, instead of simply booting like it should, it tells me that no array is defined and asks me to create one. Since I have data on the hard drive already and don't want to risk erasing it by "creating an array", I didn't push my luck. With optical drives, it is the same story, except that of course I can't create an array with an optical drive, even if I try (nor does the setup utility let me). I am also thinking about purchasing a SATA adaptor for the hard drive, but am afraid that it is going to ask me to create an array again (again, fear of losing data). So, how do I get the IDE3 port to work as advertised? And how would I get the SATA working in a non-RAID configuration?

They don't advertise that...
On-Board IDE
An IDE controller on the MCP2/MCP2-T chipset provides IDE
HDD/CDROM with PIO, Bus Master and Ultra DMA133/100/66
operation modes
Can connect up to four IDE devices
Serial ATA Interface (Optional)
Support 2 serial ATA plus 1 ATA133
- RAID O or 1 are supported
- RAID function works w/ATA133+SATA H/D or 2 SATA H/D
• Connect up to 2 Serial ATA devices and 1 ATA133 device
This is from the website, I don't see that they say you can use the SATA as regular IDE drives...they are part of the raid controller period...the misconception comes by thinking it's used like we use a regular IDE but you have to create an array as I said in order to use them...you can select one of the raid drives to use as a boot drive via the BIOS but you have to enable the drive in the raid setup before it's accessible thus creating a seemingly IDE device...I don't have any SATA drives here atm so wasn't able to test this part of the MB yet...and I've beat my board into submission now and have to RMA it from doing so much testing with it...if I do get another one I'll see about getting a SATA drive and see what it does when I load the drivers for the raid in a non-raid setup and post my results...I agree that they don't explain it well either but I've never thought the manuals were written the best for most boards out there since English isn't their first language...something gets lost in the interpretation unfortunately heheheh The raid doesn't support opticals at all so that's not an option here...
Hope that helps...
Cheers!! 8)

Addonics SATA Controller / KP Update

A while back I posted regarding the Addonics ADSA3GPX1-2EM SATA controller card causing an immediate KP whenever I powered on the attached "SataVault" 2 drive enclosure. I also have an EP2 card from Sonnet that I was going to try. However while reading the documentation, I noticed the statement that the card needed to be in a "1 lane" PCI slot. Checking using the Expansion Slot Utility revealed that the ADSA3GPX1-2EM was installed in an "8 lane" slot. So, before changing the card, I checked out the online documentation for the ADSA3GPX1-2EM and found that it too is a "single lane" card. I don't remember seeing anything about this in the installation instructions and it is pretty deeply burried in the documentation. At any rate, I moved the card to a slot indicated as being a "1 lane" slot and rebooted the computer. So far I have been able to power on the drive enclousure without getting a KP. I have done so several times now just to be sure and all seems good. I thought this might be a useful "heads up" for others with similar problems with PCI SATA controllers. I really don't completely understand this "lane" thing so if anyone wanted to shed some light.....

PS Do I remember reading somewhere that drives connected to a Sonnet E2P controller are not bootable?
That is correct. The Sonnet and the Addonics cards do NOT provide boot capability on the Mac Pro. The FirmTek 2-port SeriTek/2SE2-E SATA PCIe host adapter provides boot capability with the PCIe PowerMac G5 but not the Mac Pro.
The ONLY Mac Pro PCIe controllers that I have tested that provide boot capability are made by Areca. The ARC-1221x eight channel host adapter can boot the Mac Pro with RAID 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, 10 or JBOD configurations.
AMUG installed the new Areca firmware that supports EFI booting and started up a RAID 6 eight drive boot drive on the Mac Pro. Xbench disk scores went through the roof
You can learn more about the ARC-1221x here:

Recommend a 4 way SATA controller card?

I am having huge problems of finding a SATA controller card that:
1. Can attach 4 discs
2. No raid (i will use ZFS)
3. supports NCQ
4. supports SATA II (i.e. 3Gbps)
If anyone know of a card that works, please post the model here, so I can buy it. Ive looked everywhere, but it seems that the SATA chipset that are supported, can only be found on motherboards, and not as standalone cards.

Ok, this card requires a PCI-X slot. It is therefore suited to server motherboards. I have heard that PCI-X will work with an ordinary PCI slot without problems. Can anyone confirm this?

Will SATA 11 HD work with sonnet SATA controller

Hi I need more space and have seen this on eBay
Will it work with my G4 Giga fitted with a Sonnet Serial ATA (it doesn't say whether or not on the box.)
I already have a Seagate 7200 3.5 500gb fitted and it works fine.
If my Sonnet is not compatible what is the biggest HD I can fit using the Sonnet SATA controler?
TIA

Hi-
The Sonnet SATA controller will support up to the current 1TB models.
Not sure about the "kit". The software that is included is most probably PC. And, there are no guarantees that the cables provided will work for you. Typically, a 270º connector is best for the data cable. Depending on the drive, some have "legacy" Molex power connectors, so the power cable wouldn't be necessary. And, as with the data cable, a 90º power cable would allow better fit when closing the door of the tower.
But, if the price is right, it could be cheaper than a bare drive alone, and you don't have to use the rest of the kit...
If it 's just the Seagate hard drive, the 7200.11 1TB will work. So will the Hitachi 7K1000 1TB drive. And, so will the Western Digital GP 1TB drive.
While no specific information that it is needed, the Seagate has a jumper to force 1.5Gb/s. The WD drive has a similar "Opti 1" jumper. The drives should auto negotiate to the lower transfer rate, so this should not be an issue with SATA II drives and the Sonnet.

Vantec PCIe SATA controller, Solaris x86

I've searched all the online resources I can find, and don't see an answer to this. Is there a driver for this SATA controller for Sol. x86, and if so, where would I find it?
Output of uname -X:
System = SunOS
Node = p810
Release = 5.10
KernelID = Generic_139556-08
Machine = i86pc
BusType = <unknown>
Serial = <unknown>
Users = <unknown>
OEM# = 0
Origin# = 1
NumCPU = 4
Card is a Vantec UGT-IS100R, you can see more about it here:
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?Sku=V13-2602
PC is not COTS but homebuilt from various components. Motherboard is Asus M2N68-AM SE2. The card has one hard drive attached, a Western Digital Caviar, 1 TB. The card's a RAID controller, but with one disk it's obviously not doing any RAID stuff, and it recognizes the drive as a non-RAID device.
Boot drive is a 320 GB SATA connected directly to the motherboard (not to the Vantec). Windows 7, Slackware 12.2, and Solaris all installed just fine; Win7 and Slack recognize the Vantec and attached drive with no problems. Solaris seems to be working well in all other respects.
Thanks!
Phil

A little progress, and some more information.
1) I had downloaded Solaris 10 longer ago than I thought; I now have the latest-n-greatest (10/09). Output of uname -v is Generic_141445-09. This upgrade eliminated a message I was getting during boot with the older version:
ahci_port_reset port 1 the device hardware has been initialized and the power-up diagnostics failed
2) The Vantec card uses the JMicron 363 chip. After doing more web surfing, I found this thread relating to JMicron and OpenSolaris:
http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=376370
Essentially I'm getting the same results as the OP in that thread, except that prtconf already shows my card in AHCI mode. cfgadm -la shows the controller there; cfgadm -c configure results in "failed" status for the controller; and no matter what I can't get it to recognize the attached hard drive.
I don't want to upgrade the card's firmware; having that drive available under Solaris isn't as important as having the card and drive work under Win7 and Slackware, so if I just have to live without it I will. So ... any other ideas? Thanks!
Phil

HT6400 10.9.5 update defected my MacBookPro8,1 SATA controller

Dear all,
I have a MacBookPro8,1 with an Sandisk 256G Ultra SSD instead the HDD (the HDD is moved to the DVD bay).
It worked nice for a half a year, but after this update on friday I could not access the SSD. DiskUtility sees only the HDD.
SSD via external USB case is ok. Other HDD cannot be detected neither by the builtin controlled.
I already tried all resets SMC & co. and I also checked that the firmware (SSD, boot ROM and SMC) are up to date.
The funny thing is that the second SATA controller channel is working nicely with the original HDD.
Any ideas are welcome? What else can it be rather than a bug in the new apple firmware?

Tecra A50 PT634E - Need details about the SATA controller

Hi
I'm looking for detailed specification of Toshiba Tecra A50 (PT634E-00800JPL).
I need to know what is the version of internal SATA port.
Is this SATA II or SATA III ?
I want to change the hard disk to SSD and buy the most suitable one.

Install freeware hardware diagnostic software like for example SANDRA Sisoft, Everest Home Edit or HWiNFO32.
Such tools provide you all essential information about the built in parts and the HDD controller.
Please post some feedback would be interesting to know what SATA controller details would be reported by such tool.

Z77A GD-65: Windows 7 not installing/running with Intel SATA controller.

I've been having some weird issues with the Intel SATA controllers on-board. They won't let me install Windows at all. I'm using a Crucial m4 with the 0309 firmware.
When I was trying to install Windows with the SSD connected to the Intel SATA controller, installation would always fail sometime around the "Completing Installation" segment. I tried ACHI mode, IDE mode, nothing worked.
So I decided to try hooking up my SSD to the ASMedia controller instead, despite that being advised against. Windows was able to install and run fine on that connection. After that, I installed all of Intel's chipset drivers and all the updates available for Windows, hoping it would resolve the problem.
Then, I connected the SSD to the Intel port again. Now I get a BSOD every time I try to start windows, even though it has drivers for the chipset available.
I'm really upset by this... it seems like I'm going to have to settle for inferior SATA 6 performance just so I can run Windows. :(

Quote from: Warner on 24-May-12, 03:58:56
You can't install OS with ASMEDIA port, and then switch to Intel port.
So basically, if I can't get it to install on the Intel port, I'm stuck using the other one... well, the performance isn't optimal, but I guess it's acceptable as a failsafe. Better than nothing.
Quote
Try doing a new installation based on the Intel port, load Intel driver on HDD screen, and proceed.
What Intel driver do I need, and how do I load it during Windows installation?

Will not startup from SATA controller.

I've added an SATA controller and drives to my blue G3 and hoped to start up from one of the internal SATA drives. It doesn't seem to be working. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Bootable controller cards are firmware-based. Did you install a Mac-compatible SATA controller card? More often than not, the System recognizes drives connected to a controller card (ATA or SATA) as SCSI devices. After the card and drive(s) were installed, did you attempt booting from your installer or Restore CD, and either run Disk Utility (OS X) or Drive Setup (pre-OS X) to format the drive(s), so that a SCSI driver was written to the disk(s)?
