nLite will scan the folder you selected for drivers which it can
use in the image. It won’t be able to use all of them because
some of the drivers provided are in the format of a setup
executable rather than an unpackaged INF driver (for the VGX-
XL201 this includes TV Capture, Wireless LAN and Intel Quick
Resume). Still, it’s a good head start and leaves you with less to
do after Windows is installed.
• The one which is critical to this process is the RAID driver (all
others can be loaded after install). This is because the Windows
XP setup routine does not understand SATA disks configured in
a RAID array, which is the standard for Viiv-enabled
motherboards such as the one in this PC. In a development
blunder that beggars belief, the setup routine demands that the
RAID driver is on a floppy disk (from an IDE floppy drive), when
almost no PCs still ship with floppy drives today. The alternative
is what we are doing here; embedding the RAID driver in the
install CD. If you don’t do this, you will get a blue screen of
death (BSOD) early on in the install.
