This error indicates a boot drive or partition problem. With the introduction of SATA based systems things have taken a step back caused by the lack of generic Windows drivers. This error during a RIS install appears to stem from some confusion during the PnP hardware detection during Windows setup and the actual drivers needed during a boot of the OS. The BIOS in the DELL 380 supports a few different SATA/RAID configurations and this configuration must be matched to the driver/hardware detected during the PnP hardware detection during Windows setup.
Changing the BIOS settings for the SATA/RAID controller should result in a successful boot.
I am trying to get RIS to load W2K onto a dell 400SC that has a Perc4 SATA. It uses the MRIAD2K.sys and I have tried just about every thing. When the install gets to the Starting Windows I get qn error that there is no harddrive availible. If I press F6 at the beginning of the install and load the drivers with a floppy the install goes fine. I had it working once before on another server but i cannot find the reference material that I used. I haven't tried this because I don't completely understand it. I cannot not find a TXSETUP.SIF anywhere. Are you refering to the Sif you find under the templates folder either in the base image or the image you are trying to load.
Microsoft Remote Installation Services (RIS) does not contain drivers to support the SATA controller on the DELL Precision 380 during text mode setup. In order to use RIS with this system you will need to follow the following steps.
1. Download the SATA drivers from DELL's website.
2. Extract the drivers to a directory.
3. Copy the iaStor.sys file to the i386 directory of the RIS installation image.
4. Insert the test below in the txtsetup.sif file, also located in the i386 directory.
Hit F2 to enter the Bios configuration Utility
In the configuration just under the drives
There are a few choices in the bios for SATA configuration
You can choose Raid/Autodetect AHCI or Raid/Autodetect/AHA
If you choose AHCI you need a driver
The 2nd choice should be Raid/autodetect/ata
If it is on the 2nd option you don't need a special driver
you will need to make the changes to your bios before you can use RIS or just installing XP for that matter. best part i got the info from Microsoft after DEll techs told me it was microsofts fault for the crashes.

iaStor.sys = 1,,,,,,_x,4,1
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C3&CC_0104 = "iaStor"
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C1&CC_0106 = "iaStor"
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2652&CC_0104 = "iaStor"
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2652&CC_0106 = "iaStor"
iaStor = iaStor.sys,4
iaStor = "Intel(R) 82801GR/GH SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH7R/DH)"

The following value in the .SIF file used by setup is corrupted or missing:
Value 0 in the line in section [SourceDisksFiles] with key â??setup.ini.â??
Setup cannot continue. To quit Setup, press F3
