Hello Maurice!

Here is a short description of what I did:

Description on the basis of a Dell Perc 320

1.) 

Load and extract the driver into the desired directory
You should have something like this:

aac.cat
aac.inf
aac.sys
aaccin.dll
aacevt.exe
aacmgt.inf
raiddisk1
txtsetup.oem

Interesting files are .cat, .inf, .sys, .dll, .exe and the txtsetup.oem

2.)

Copy the files .cat, .inf and .sys to $XP_SHARE\i386\$oem$\TEXTMODE

Copy the files .exe, .dll and maybe others to $XP_SHARE\i386\$oem$\$$\OemDir

Copy ALL files to $XP_SHARE\i386\$oem$\Drivers\SCSI
The subdirectory under $oem$ is arbitrary.

Compress ALL .sys files using 'makecab' and copy them to $XP_SHARE\i386

3.)

Modification of the 'txtsetup.sif' file located at $XP_SHARE\i386

Open the 'txtsetup.sif' with your favorite editor and search for the section 
called [SourceDisksFiles].
Add the following lines to this section: 

[SourceDisksFiles]
aac.sys      = 100,,,,,,3_,4,1,,,1,4

You've to do this for ALL .sys files.
Since there's only one .sys file for this driver, you only have one line here.

Search for the section called [HardwareIdsDatabase] and add the following:

[HardwareIdsDatabase]
PCI\VEN_9005&DEV_0285&SUBSYS_02871028 = "aac"

Again: There could be more lines like this!
You can find these line inside the 'txtsetup.oem' shipped with the driver.

Next search for [SCSI.load] and add the following line:

[SCSI.Load]
aac = aac.sys,4

Here you also have to add ALL .sys files!

At last search for the [SCSI] section and add the following:

[SCSI]
aac      = "Dell PERC 320/DC SCSI RAID Controller"

You're free to choose a description here!

4.)

Save the txtsetup.sif file and try to boot the windows setup.
You should be able to access your hdd without to press F6 at the beginning.



Something unclear?
Drop me an e-mail.
