IMPORTANT:
Follow the installation instructions in the order provided. Failure to
complete these steps in the proper order can result in an unsuccessful or
unstable installation.
This section provides guidelines for customers who need to add SATA support to a WinPE ISO or
DOK.
Steps to add SATA drivers to WinPE 2005
1) Create the WinPE folder (these guidelines will use c:\winpe)
2) Download and save the "Intel Matrix Storage Manager" softpaq that is available for your
platform at
www.hp.com.
3) Unpack all the files from the SoftPaq. Unpacking a Softpaq file uses this command line:
• Sp#####.exe -e -f<path> -s
• Where
o SP####.exe is the Softpaq to unpack.
o -e is a run time switch that overrides installation of the component inside the
softpaq.
o -f<Path> is a run time switch that overrides the default path set at build time.
o -s instructs the package to unpack in silent mode skipping the welcome,
license and directory screens.
• Example: C:\tmp\sp99999.exe -e -fc:\sp99999 -s
• This will unpack the files needed to c:\sp99999.
4) Browse to the location of the Intel storage drivers on your system. Using the example above
that would be c:\sp99999\Winall\Driver (for XP32) or c:\sp99999\Winall\Driver64 (for
XP64). Copy the files in that directory to removable media (i.e. floppy disk, usbkey).
a. iaahci.cat
b. iaahci.inf
c. iastor.cat
d. iastor.inf
e. iastor.sys
f. txtsetup.oem
5) Copy the iaahci.inf and iastor.inf files from the floppy to the c:\winpe\i386\inf folder.
