Highpoint Raid Fix (3683)

[Arvosesh]

For all the ones with a Highpoint Hpt 37x.(and maybe other Highpoint)
If you can't install your Raid and got the message that the inf
file was written for Win95 and above (funny shit) then you might be able to fix that with the following trick.

Open the hpt3xx.inf in .../Raid/WinXP directory.(or wherever you got your drivers)

Edit the following lines :
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Miniport_EventLog_AddReg]
HKR,,EventMessageFile,%REG_EXPAND_SZ%,"%%SystemROOT%%\System32\IoLogMsg.dll"
HKR,,TypesSupported,%REG_DWORD%,7
---------------------
Delete the entry %%Systemroot%% and enter your directory, e.g.
"c:\windows\System32\IoLogMsg.dll"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next edit the following
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[SourceDisksFiles]
;;hpt3xx.inf = 1,,
hpt3xx.sys = 1,,
hptpro.sys = 1,,
---------------------
just get rid of the comments before hpt3xx.inf
so it looks like that
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[SourceDisksFiles]
hpt3xx.inf = 1,,
hpt3xx.sys = 1,,
hptpro.sys = 1,,
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That should do the Job...now install your raid with your device-manager... it worked for me with both of my raid with HPT 370/372 chipset... but i think it will work for all the others too...

If it doesnt, tell me and i will try to fix that..


You can also Download the fixed drivers for HPT3xx Vers.2.34

did u try if it works with 4008?

[Arvosesh]

I will test it as soon as i have 4008..lol

im not downloading it atm. so if someone got a Highpoint and 4008 please report if it works...

(i think it should work..the only thing it does is telling windows where the driver is and where it has to install to)
