I have an iso image of XP with service pack 2 and I want to add some chipset
drivers SATA drivers and alike (from Intel) so that I can complete an
install of the OS. I add the drivers per the Intel docs but setup cannot seem
to find them.

After adding the drivers to the image I burn it onto a CD and re-boot. The
setup process proceeds until it cannot recognize the drive type. My thought
was that if I put the drivers on the ISO setup would find them but this does
not work.

Any help would be appreciated.

A lot of other interesting stuff there.

BTW:

The copy-section on that page is NOT COMPLETE! You also have to copy the
..sys file of the driver directly to you I386 folder on the CD. If there
is already a file with the same name but a ".sy_" as the extension,
delete that existing file.

It is IMPORTANT that you can' t just copy & paste stuff shown there, you
have to use the information provided by the TXTSETUP.OEM file of YOUR
drivers instead!

If you don' t know what WINNT.SIF is, just create that textfile in the
I386 folder with provided content.

Mario, thanks for the info but these particular drivers do not come with a
TXTSETUP.OEM. The driver set does some with a file called INFAnswer.txt but
it does not look anything like TXTSETUP.OEM. The contents of the file are as
follows, any info you have would be appreciated.

You may get the same info from the .inf file that is with the SATA
drivers. There you can find the PCI-IDs and Device-IDs etc. The missing
parts you have to fiddle together with the given information on the site.

HINT: Use a rewritable CD media to test if it works!

You may also post a link to the drivers so that I may take a look into it.

You may also take a look at www.driverpacks.net

The guy hosting that site makes driver packs of most common hardware
that can be integrated easily in the windows distribution. There is also
a MassStorage Driver Pack that takes care of some SATA drivers. Maybe
yours is supported?

Reading documentation on the site is NECESSARY BTW.
