Loading SATA drivers

Posted: 06-24-2006, 02:37 AM
I am attempting to install Vista onto a second partition of my main harddrive.

During the install process (running through XP), I am told that I need to
load drivers for my harddrive or it will not work. I downloaded the newest
SATA drivers for my harddrive (SI3112 v.1.0.56.1), and have put them in the
root directory of a USB flashdrive that I have. Now, when I try to click the
load drivers button, the installation says:

"No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media
contains the correct drivers, and then click Retry."

I'm fairly sure my drivers should work, but just to double check, here are
the files that I am placing on the flashdrive:

si3112r.cat
Si3112r.inf
Si3112r.sys
SiiSupp.vxd
SilSupp.cpl
SiWinAcc.sys
TxtSetup.oem
readme.txt

Has anyone had any similar problems? Is it maybe my stupidity coming into
play? Have I missed something important?

By root, you mean that the files are not in any folder at all...

I had a similar problem, until I downloaded BETA drivers for Vista X86 from
nVidia. Maybe you should check if the one you downloaded are intended for
Vista, and if not, try to find one that is...
