Embedding Drivers in Windows 7 distribution

Very common problem when installing Windows XP.- This is the appearance of the absence error hard disks.
The problem is that modern computers, in particular laptops, used hard drive controllers produced much later than Windows XP..
Therefore, the standard version of Windows XP does not contain the necessary drivers for installation.

One way to bypass this problem is to switch to Bios. SATA controller mode.
You need to switch the SATA controller mode in IDE Mode.. But often B. Bios.there are no laptops such an option.

In this case, the SATA driver can be integrated directly into Windows distribution using the program. nLITE.
This method is most convenient, safe, and the resulting image of Windows XP can be used multiple times.
Also, this option remains the only for laptop owners, as they do not have the ability to connect the floppy drive.

So, how to integrate the drivers to the Windows XP distribution?

To integrate, we need:

1. Distribution Windows XP. It is strongly recommended to use the original image of Windows XP. It is also better to take Windows XP SP2, and after installing Windows, install the package package 3.

2. NLITE program. Download E it follows from the manufacturer site (download). If the integration of the drivers will be passed on the computer with installed windows XP, then to work the program should also establish Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 (download). For Windows Vista and above, nothing except the program is not needed.

3. SATA / RAID controller drivers:

Integration of drivers.

Install the program nLITE.

Swing the SATA driver and save on your computer. After that, you need to unpack them in some folder (for example C: / SATA /).

In a CD / DVD drive, insert a disk with Windows XP and copy the entire contents of the disk to the hard disk, for example, in the folder C: / WINXP /.

Run the program nLITE. When starting, you can immediately specify the program interface language - russian.

To continue, press the button " Further". In the window that appears" Location installation Files Windows"It is necessary after clicking the button" Overview"Specify the path to the folder C: / WINXP /where the contents were copied windows disk XP.

after a small check program nLITEwe will indicate detailed data on windows version Xp.

In the window " Selection of tasks"We celebrate in the section Integrate paragraph Drivers, and in the section Create- Boot image ISO..

and in the menu that appears, select the item " Driver folder"

specify the path to the folder with unpacked drivers.

Hereinafter, it is very important to specify the folder with the drivers of the battery that the Windows distribution used. In the 32-bit Windows XP should integrate only Drivers for a 32-bit system (in the 32-bit or x86 folder), and for the 64-bit OS drivers for the 64-bit system (they are in the 64-bit or x64 folder).
This is very important momentOtherwise, during Windows installation, an error may appear.
"The ahcix64.sys file is spoiled. To continue, press any key.".

In the window that appears " Select Drivers for Integration"Specify the necessary (use the key Ctrlto highlight a few). Do not forget about the bit of your Windows XP.

After selecting drivers, click " OK". In the next dialog box, also select the driver. For Intel drivers, you can safely choose all drivers ( Ctrl + A.), for aMD drivers Observe the bit.

After choosing a clamp " OK.". In the next window, click" Further".

we agree to launch the integration process by clicking the "button" Yes".

There is integration.

After the end of integration drivers SATA. Press the key " Further" to continue

The window appears " ISO boot image". Insert a clean CD into the writing drive CD / DVD. Clean its initialization program nLITE. We specify the label we need (for example, WinXP_SP2.). Select the recording speed. For quality recording It is better to choose the smallest speed.

After the required settings, click the button " Record"And agree to the disk entry by clicking the button" Yes".

Everything remains to wait only the end of the disk recording.
After that, insert the disk into the drive of the computer you need, reboot and install Windows XP.
After installing Windows XP, install the drivers and Service Pack 3.If the image XP was with SP2.

Integration of DriversSATA. In the Windows XP distribution, it does not work boot disk Created not working. Was, as you said on the site oszone.net, there are two instructions, one very complicated, the other easier, chose the second, did everything as it is written there, downloaded the MassTor driver package, the driver themselves are successfully integrated into the unpacked distribution, but then when collecting the assembly in ISO image of the CDimage program, further burns the free IMGBURN program, somewhere an error occurs and the disk in the end is not booting, spoiled five duals. Was still on one good resourceon laptops familiarized himself with the instructions, they use the NLITE program there, I do everything they say, at the end, click on the record and again the Dwarf is not booting, and what is interesting, they do not recommend using NLITE on ozone, and on this resource do not recommend CDimage, I do not recommend In desperate, I need a computer with the operating system urgently.

Integration of SATA Drivers in Distribution

Well, about despair you are in vain, you need to calm down and find an acceptable solution, let's try to find a mistake. I will say in advance, in everything we figured out, well, let's start the parsing of flights, we integrate the SATA driver in distribution Quickly and free. By the way, many can ask why?

Note: On sufficiently new motherboards, with the SATA II hard drive controller, and this also applies to stationary computers, as well as laptops, AHCI Winchester Work Technology has been applied. Undoubtedly, it is better than the previous IDE technology, but the fact is that it is designed much later than Windows XP was invented and therefore, to install this operating system, you need AHCI controller drivers that you need or snap during installation on a diskette, or integrate directly in The Windows XP distribution itself, otherwise the installation process will end with an error.
On some motherboards, you can switch the hard drive mode with AHCI on the IDE, then Windows XP will be installed without any problems, but also the advantages of AHCI will have to forget, because during the operation of the operating system to switch to aHCI mode, it will not work either, it will end in a blue screen.

Flopopica we have no laptop and can not be, so we integrate DriversSATA. In the Windows XP distribution
The CDimage program did not use, I can not say anything, but Nlite enjoyed with great success, let's start from the very beginning.
First, we take a CD with Windows XP, it is very important to use the original by anyone not modified assemblies. Microsoft Windows. XP, this is the key to success.
Create at the root of the disk (C:) folder and call it (XPCD), all files from the Windows XP CD, copy to it.

If instead of a CD with the operating system you use ISO Image of Windows. XP, with it you need to do the same, unzipped to the XPCD folder, in the root of the disk (C :), you can have this 7-zip program.

Next, we go to oszone.net, we are very simply registering there, and download the MassTor with SATA drivers. If you have a 32-bit operating system, which is in most cases, you download the appropriate package MassTor_x86_11.8.22.rar, if 64-bit, then another massstor _x64_11.3.8.rar.

get out of the unzipped folder massstor.exe, run it, he asks us where the folder with windows files XP, want integrate in her SATA driver And we show him our folder in the root of the disk (C:), it is called with us (XPCD), did not forget yet?

Integration takes place ten seconds.

For normal operation, you will need a NET Framework 2.0 package. You can already be installed, first try installing and run NLITE.
Run NLite.

Welcome

In the review, specify the location of our image-\u003e C: \\ xpcd and click further

Create ISO boot image and again further

Press Overview

Hi friends! Most experienced users know that the original Windows 7 distribution does not contain USB 3.0 drivers and in the installation of Win 7 to new laptops with ports.USB 3.0 system installer does not see any blood flash drivenor hDD. The original way out of the situation was offered Vladimir in the article:"". After exit Articles, many readers of our site asked to show a way to integrate USB 3.0 drivers to the Windows 7 distribution.

USB 3.0 Drivers Integration in Windows 7 Distribution with DISM

Personally, I believe that this is not a great necessity, since, firstly,the method proposed by Vladimir is 100% working and originalAnd secondly, many newly emerging laptops are incompatible with Windows 7 at the chipset level. And this means that Drivers for an expandable host controller USB 3.0 (as well as drivers on network adapter, Wi-Fi, sound, etc.) For Windows 7 you will not find for these laptopsnowhere and there are no them in any existing driver assembly, especially on the official website of the manufacturer of your new laptop. You just spend time on the integration of drivers in the Windows 7 distribution, and install a seven on new laptop You still can't work, already at the beginning of the Windows installation you will get blue screen.

What is good by Vladimir, so this is the fact that the installation of Windows 7 helps us successfully pass the Windows 8.1 distribution, and then we simply try to install the drivers in the working system using various driver-packs and other drivers found by us.

But the method of integrating USB 3.0 drivers to the Windows 7 distribution, of course there is not one, for example, there are NLITE 1.4 programs, EZ Installer, Win7usb3, I will not speak anything bad about this software, but I did not always have a result of the use of some of them, as a result, I came to the conclusion that To integrate, you need to use the built-in in operating system DISM tool (deployment and control of the deployment images and control systems).

USB 3.0 Driver Integrationneed to be done like a file image install.wim., so I. in boot.wim.

Drivers on USB 3.0 You can sort (divide on 64-bit and32-bit), but in today's article I did not do it, because You can not sort, integrate all drivers quickly there is a lot in the Win 7 distribution do not occupy.

Go. Download Microsoft on the official website, connect it to virtual drive And copy the contents of the image to the folder with the name Win7, in my case the folder will be on the disk (f :).

We dock the "Snappy Driver Installer" drivers

Go to the official assembly site:

https://sdi-tool.org/download/

and choose full package SDI FULL ( full set Drivers, size 12 GB) and click "Download".

Folder with drivers downloads to us on a computer (in my case to disk f :)and called SDI_UPDATE.

In this folder there is a subfolder drivers., go to this folder

and find the archive of driversUSB controllers ( DP_XUSB_16095.7Z.),

click on it with the right mouse and choose "Extract files",

Create the DRIVERS folder on the disk (f :) and click OK.

USB controller drivers are extracted in the folder DRIVERS on the disk (F :).

Total, we have on the disk (f :) are folders:

Win7. - With Windows 7 files.

drivers. - with USB controller drivers.

Open the command prompt on behalf of the administrator and enter the command:

DISM / Get-Wiminfo /WimFile:F:\\Win7\\Sources\\Install.wim (We see that in the File-image Install.wim, located in the folder F: \\ Win7 \\ Sources \\, the image index windows release 7 Professional - 3 .

Create on a disk (f :) folder with the name "1".

Using image maintenance system (DISM), we connect the contents of an intall.wim image to the folder"1" On the disk (f :), then add to the contents of the USB 3.0 driver image.

DISM / MOUNT-WIM / INDEX: 3 /WIMFILE :F:\\Wim / Mountdir: F: \\ 1

Connecting images

The operation has been successfully completed.

The image of Windows 7 is commercially mounted in the "1" folder on the disk (F :).

We introduce B. command line Administrator team:

DISM / Image: F: \\ 1 / Add-Driver / DRIVER: F: \\ Drivers / Recurse / Forceunsigned

Drivers integrate from the Drivers folder the contents of the image install.wim connected to the folder"1" on the disk (f :).

Close the folder "1". If it was open with you.

Then in the command prompt, enter the command:

Image file: F: \\ Win7 \\ Sources \\ Install.wim

Image index: 3

Preservation of the image

[==========================100.0%==========================]

Turning off the image

[==========================100.0%==========================]

The operation has been successfully completed.

In the same way, we integrate the USB 3.0 driver to the boot.wim file.To at the first stage of installing Windows 7 from the installation flash drive connected to uSB port 3.0 blue color did not have a mistake "not found required driver For drive optical disks... ", you need to use the boot.wim file with integrated USB 3.0 drivers. The boot.wim file is located in the Windows 7 Distribution Sources folder.To integrate the drivers, you need to do everything the same as in the previous case, only For boot.wim, you must specify index 2, I will explain why.Inside the boot.wim file there are two folders: 1 and 2.

The folder 1 contains files responsible for installing Windows 7 directly to the operating OS.

In the folder 2 are the main boot file. Windows preset environments, it is this folder that we need.

Open the command prompt on behalf of the administrator and enter the command:

DISM / Get-Wiminfo /WimFile :F:\\Win7\\Sources\\Boot.wim

we see that in the Boot .wim file, located in the folder F: \\ Win7 \\ Sources \\, index windows Installer 7 has index 2.

We enter the command in the command prompt:

DISM / MOUNT-WIM / INDEX: 2 /WimFile :F:\\Wim / Mountdir: F: \\ 1

The boot.wim image is mounted in the "1" folder on the disk (F :).

DISM / Image: F: \\ 1 / Add-Driver / Driver: F: \\ Drivers / Recurse / Forceunsigned

The integration of the drivers from the Drivers folder to the contents of the boot.wim image connected to the folder "1" on the disk (F :).

Close the folder "1". If it was open with you.

Then enter the command:

DISM / UNMOUNT-WIM / MOUNTDIR: F: \\ 1 / COMMIT (This command disables the INSTALL.WIM image from the folder "1").

While I was looking for this article (well, this is not necessarily this, but describing this method of integrating files) stumbled upon several manuals, how to make the same with third-party programs. Well, suppose we trust these third-party programs to make any changes to our distribution (in fact no) ... But there are instructions for this program, the length of this in a pair of three times. Although, but I do not understand why do it third-party program With never once an intuitive interface and a sequence of actions, if the question is solved by three lines in the terminal.
But - to each his own, probably.
Thanks for the instructions!
25 Rain Cat Added 23:52 October 14th, 2016:
For those who did not take off. Check the firewood (whether equipment corresponds to whether the discharge of the Windows bit drivers). Make sure that you are trying to add not the driver installer, but the unpacked drivers (not something there. Lee, but what is unpacking out of it).
Well, what would not suffer once again, it is possible that the drivers and install.wim will add the drivers in the same way.
26 Dickbutt added 01:56 November 29th, 2016:
May not take off on certain laptops, such as XPS13 9343, when loading manually, the driver is set, when integrating - no,
Option 1 - After the 5th step, the folder with firewood is simply copied to the Mount folder and go to 7MU, when installing your hands to load firewood from the folder
Option 2 - Wock install.wim and ei.cfg into an image from 10k or 8
Both cream are checked

In the standard Windows XP distribution driver for the SATA controller from Intel and for AMD (7-series chipsets) are not included. Because of this, when installing Windows XP, the installer does not find hard drives. There are two main ways to solve this problem without the use of floppy drives:

Switch B. BIOS mode Works of the controller S. Ahci. on the IDE Mode. (The name may vary depending on the BIOS). In that the case of Windows XP set, but in this case the NCQ technology will not work. What is this technology and what kind of it is described in this material :?

If you switch to the BIOS after installing Windows, the controller mode is back to AHCI, the system will not be able to boot and displays the "Blue Death Screen". How to enable this mode without reinstalling Windows XP is described in this article:

Integrate SATA drivers directly to the distribution itself. This method also applies to the integration of other drivers to the Windows XP distribution. It can also be drivers for sound card, modem, network cards etc. The author thus integrated into the Distribution of the driver for the RAID controller during installation Windows Server On the RAID array. This method is more correct, universal and elegant if it can be signed. Not all motherboards support the change of the mode of operation of the controller and do not always have a floppy drive to "apply" on the driver diskette when installing Windows. It is about this method that will be discussed in this article.

Note: Drivers need to be integrated into distribution only if you have an Intel chipset or a 7th AMD chipset series. For chipsets from NVIDIA and AMD (4 and 6 series), nothing to integrate. Windows XP will normally deliver.

Preparation for the integration of drivers

To integrate drivers in the Windows XP distribution, we will need:

Directly the Windows XP distribution itself. It is extremely recommended to use original build Windows XP from Microsoft otherwise problems may occur when installing the system and drivers

CD-R or CD-RW Disc

NLITE program. You can find it in the archive above the links above (/)

SATA driver. For Intel chipsets, they are posted in the archive above. Drivers there are constantly updated.
For the chipsets from AMD 7 series (PUMA platform), download drivers for this link:

Integration of Drivers

The integration of drivers should start with the installation of the NLITE utility. To her work requires Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 (/). In Windows Vista, Windows 7, 8 and 8.1, it is already built.

When the utility is installed, proceed with copying the Windows XP distribution. To do this, create on the disk D: WinXP folder, for example.

Insert the disk from Windows XP to the drive, select all the files and folders on it and copy:

Insert files to the daddy D: WinXP
