You said W2K is not a valid upgrade path for 2K3 in post #12. Here is the MS document on upgrade paths

[NooNoo]

So what did you want to say about the drivers... apart from posting the infs again?

Do you still have a problem with the driver not copying?

[Wizard of Wiring]

2k3 Is not in my upgrade path. I have 2k SBS and 2k3 Enterprise.

The first time I posted txtsetup.oem which is what the installer reads. That second round are the .inf files. All I am saying is that they are identical. If I post the one from NT there are only a few registry keys different.

I am only suggesting 2k3 might need an additional entry in the .inf file to create an additional key somewhere and I posted it for anyone that might have the same controller working on 2k3 that would be able to post the following registry keys:

HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\%Cl assGUID%\0000

ClassGUID is defined in .inf

or

HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI\%PCI\Ven _...%

%PCI\Ven_...% defined in .inf

or

HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Services\Fas ttrak

add services defined in .inf

[NooNoo]

2k3 Is not in my upgrade path. I have 2k SBS and 2k3 Enterprise.

Ah, so far you have only said 2k and 2k3, no mention of SBS.

But whether there is a registry key missing or not is not the question is it? The reported error is that it cannot copy fasttrak.sys. The error is quite specific. If there was a problem with the registry it would generate a different error.

[Wizard of Wiring]

Do you still have a problem with the driver not copying?

The whole purpose of the thread or anything else I have posted in this thread is to fix the problem in post #1. Which is covered in this article:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314859

I am already working around the problem by installing 2k3 on an ide drive and creating my own resolution based on this article:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314082/

I installed XP because I wanted to know where the miniport driver is installed and have a snapshot of the installed registry keys. If you actually read that article you will see it is not a resolution for fasttrak, it was only intended for natively supported ide controllers. But I see no reason why I can't apply the same concept to my controller.

When I am done all I want to have is 2k3 installed and a clean install backup image that I can reuse in the event I run into any problems installing service packs or other updates like .net. This is mainly because I do not install this crap everyday and if there is a problem with something I am not going to know about it until I install it and see my event log populate.

[NooNoo]

Oh right, you are attempting to fix that which has defeated highly qualified and experienced techs. OK, I will leave you to blog your progress.

I would be nice to have a highly qualified and experienced tech to correspond with. However, I will continue by 'blogging' my way to your enlightenment.

Getting back to pertinent information I have been able to make good use of my xp home and pro installations and have analyzed a few log files.

Could it be that the default policy for 2k3 is not ignore? Maybe I was just typing yank when I suggested a WHCL problem. Anyway continuing on further in the log file...

Now unfortunately I am not an installation expert and am not able to just look at the log files, compare them to the .inf and setup files and know what is going on. But that doesn't mean I am not capable. I am going to have to do some heavy duty reading but I will point you in the right direction while I am blogging. Here are a couple of links:

NooNoo, maybe will read and comprehend it all before I do and come back and post something brilliant.

Wizard, if you read my posts, you will find that for the most part, I do not get involved in no win scenarios. I do not have the time for projects such as this. You obviously have and I am leaving your posts up in case other people are interested in your project. I would suggest though that if you want people to make comment or contribute in any way to your project, you should take what you consider to be bad comments with better grace than you have so far.

I wish you luck in your endeavour.

I can think of plenty of ways to spend my time other than this but it is in my nature to understand the root cause of a problem. For me, it's either create the time to solve it or let my lack of understanding haunt me. I have posted this thread in only two forums. Not because I can't solve a problem. But because I was hoping someone might be able to save me a little time troubleshooting. I have tried to endure and exercise as you say... grace, but after carefully reading each of your replies I felt like you did not actually read my post(s). Bad floppy? Bad partition? Bad driver? I sought out forums where I thought there might be a chance of interacting with people that might already be very familiar topics like setupapi or the installer sdk. After all this is windrivers.com. If my lack of grace is a character flaw that has prevented the caliber of collaberation I have been seeking in this forum, I gracefully exit. Yes, I was a little peeved about the blogging remark as evidenced by my followup post(s). Obviously I felt the .inf and txtsetup.oem files were very pertinent to the discussion. The remark to you specifically in my last post however, was over the top and you should remove it from the thread since I can no longer edit it.

Regards,
Sean

Why troubleshoot, when there is a work around? The caliber of a tech is not necessarily their ability to understand the inner workings of some gadget. A good tech knows about the cost/benefit trade off. Clearly, this is a situation where the cost of the time out weighs the benefit of being able to directly install on to the array.

There are dozens of situations where hardware incompatibility prevents a tech using a favoured solution. Annoying but if this sort of thing is going to haunt you, I think perhaps you ought to consider the serenity prayer. By all means, take it on as a personal project, learn how to read the files and what they do, you might even write a new driver that solves the problem which would be great... but don't be disappointed if people are apparently uninterested in helping you with it.


You are using an old domestic motherboard designed to run raid 0 (+1) which essentially aimed at the gamers market and not designed for a production environment. You wouldn't have this problem if you used a pci raid card that is known to be compatible with 2k3 or a motherboard with onboard raid that is 2k3 compatible.
