Hi,

I managed to solve my problem if anyone is interested

Basically after a LOT of searching I came across this link (apologies for not being able to link it properly- need 5 posts - the x's are w's) hxxp://xxx.windowsserverx64.com/CSK/technical_articles/hardware/56.aspx which descirbes in detail what all the stuff in txtsetup.sif does.

From careful reading of the bit about [sourcedisksfiles] i noticed that the string "si3112r.sys = 1,,,,,,_x,4,1" or in my case "iastor.sys = 1,,,,,,_x,4,1" is actually trying to load drivers from a directory on the root of the XP cd called AMD64.

Try creating this directory with your SATA drivers files in it, and see if that works.
It might also be worth adding you driver .inf file under SOURCEDISKSFILES with the string 1,,,,,,,20,0,0 after it e.g "iastor.inf = 1,,,,,,,20,0,0"

Finally, I have found that it's good to make sure all the cases in your diver files match- My disk wasn't working until I made ALL entries that use the words iaStor.sys into iastor.sys (as the actual driver file had no capital 's')

I hope this can help someone!
