Sony VGX-XL201 manual

∙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.
