Hi, I have an it8212 IDE RAID controller. It is a pci card and works, but every time I let the windows setup look on the floppy disk for the driver files, it says there was an error with the iteraid.sys file. So then I deleted the file from the disk and tried again but got the same error.

I have installed raid controllers before but have never encountered this problem.

What is wrong with the driver files? They are from the official site.

And is there anyother ways to install the drivers with no OS on the RAID array yet?

What is the error?

Are the drivers for the correct OS?

[asweeba]

yes the drivers are for windows xp 32 bit, which is what I am installing.

the erroe says something like

the file /winxp/iteraid.sys has caused an unexpected error etc.

I found out the problem, the order of the files on the floppy diskette was incorrect.

I needed certain files to be in the root directory and somefiles had to be in specific folders like WINXP and WIN2K.

That was a hard cookie to crack though, it took me hours of rearranging the files until it finally worked.

Thanks for the feedback. Was the order needed different from what it was right after the drivers were extracted?

yes the order had to be changed after they were extracted, which was pretty inconvenient on the manufacturer's side
