I've tried to create a BartPE disc, and in the process I got warning
messages about a missing NVRAID.SYS plus another file (IASTOR.SYS if I
remember correctly). When trying to boot from the disc, it says
(surprise, surprise) NVRAID.SYS is missing, and everything terminates.

I added the missing files to the generated BartPE directory and then
recreated the CD image. This time there were no warning messages, but
when trying to boot, the same thing - NVRAID.SYS is missing.

FWIW, I don't have RAID on my system, and I have nothing from NVIDEA.

I am unable to find a solution on the web, Any ideas?

As a side question, I noticed that my Windows system does not have the
two files on it. But, in another partition, where I have a virtually
virgin Windows, created from the same slipstreamed XP/SP2 Pro CD as my
working system, the two files ARE present. I must assume that something
that I've installed over the years deleted these files. Who would have
done that, or is there another explanation?

Thanks or any help.

There's a specific way to add drivers - you can't just add them to the
generated directory and expect Windows to know about them.

Fair enough, but the fact that the warning messages disappeared makes
me think that I added them in the correct location. Also, since these
files ARE on the XP CD, why does PEBuilder not pick them up like
everything else?

Are you using a legitimate XP disc or some kludged together OEM version
with added drivers? My XP discs don't have any nvraid files. How could
they since they predate nforce and sata by a few years?

The disc was created from a genuine Windows CD, with XP2 slipstreamed.
Perhaps the drivers that were present during the slipstreaming process
were faulty. That sounds like a plausible explanation.
