You need to update WinPE with drivers for the Perc 4e/Di controller.

Can be done in two ways...

Alt 1.

Add the unpacked drivers to \i386\system32\diskdrivers\perc4

Modify  \i386\system32\WINPEOEM.SIF

[OemDriverParams]
OemDriverRoot=DiskDrivers
OemDriverDirs=PERC4


Alt 2.

put the drivers in their correct folders and "hack" txtsetup.sif
