MediaShield Application Notes

Add NVIDIA Drivers

1 Extract the NVIDIA driver files from the nForce package using ‘-x’ option.

2 Copy all *.sys, *.dll, *.inf and *.cat files from “…\IDE\WinXP\sataraid”  to “c:\

slipstream\XP\i386”.

3 Edit “c:\slipstream\XP\i386\txtsetup.sif” and add the following

a Under [WinntDirectories] section add: 

300 = nvidia\nvraid

This will add a directory to hold the storage driver files.

b Directly under header [SourceDisksFiles] add the following lines: 

nvraidco.dll = 1,,,,,,,300,0,0

nvraid.sys   = 1,,,,,,,300,0,0

nvraid.inf   = 1,,,,,,,300,0,0

nvraid.cat   = 1,,,,,,,300,0,0

NvAtaBus.sys = 1,,,,,,,300,0,0

idecoi.dll   = 1,,,,,,,300,0,0

NvAtaBus.sys = 100,,,,,,,4,0,0,,1,4

nvraid.sys   = 100,,,,,,,4,0,0,,1,4

This tells installer to copy all driver files to ʺ%systemroot%\nvidia\nvraidʺ and 
then the two .sys files to ʺ%systemroot%\system32\driversʺ

c Now add the device IDs for your SATA controller directly under the  

[HardwareIdsDatabase] section. 

This will tell OS which drivers to load for SATA controllers on your platform. 

You can get this information from the file

 nvraid.inf.  Search for “[NVIDIA]” and 

you should see something like the following:

    [NVIDIA]

    %CK804SSS%=Crush11_Inst,PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0055&CC_0104

    %CK804SSS%=Crush11_Inst,PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0054&CC_0104

    %NVRAID_DESC%=nvraid,GenNvRaidDisk

    %NVRAID_BUS_DESC%=nvraidbus,*_NVRAIDBUS

    %NVRAID_BUS_DESC%=nvraidbus,*NVRAIDBUS

You will require an entry for each of these lines in the following format.

    [HardwareIdsDatabase]

    PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0054 = "nvatabus"

    PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0055 = "nvatabus"
