WinPE recovery disk - HP B110i raid driver won't load

[neonlite]

I booted to the recovery disk and was able to see the USB drives and ramdisk but couldn't see the drives in the array. I get an error message when I try to load the storage controller(Smart Array B110i) driver for an HP ML110 G6.

Driver load has failed with error: The system cannot find the path specified ("d:/hpahcisr.inf"). Would you like to load another driver?

I can load other drivers from the same media.

Fyi. according to the inf, the B110i is really an intel ich10r without raid 5.

Any thoughts on how to get around this?
Thanks

Did you use driver for Windows 7\Vista 32-bit ?

HP only lists drivers for Windows Server 2003 and 2008. Both point to the same driver.

It looks like I've been trying to load the 64 bit driver even though the inf mentions 32 bit. I'll give it another try and report back.

Tried the other driver. Same error message.

Ended up creating disk from this thread following SIW2 instructions. Worked like a champ.
