For drivers, you can download DriverPack Solution.. It has a large drivers database for any components in any PC.

Ahmad,
Thank you for the reply..  I will give that a go, after loading Maherz XP Pro (November 2012). If there are other cautions or suggestions please let me know....
Thanks,

I have a problem when installing . After boot from CD and reading loading files from CD i become an error message " Warning file raidsrc.sys missing " and restart ... Tried on other PC whit the same CD and it works perfect ... I serched for a solutinon and couldn't find it ...

Can you tell me whats the problem , or give me an advise ?

Have you tried another time?

This happened with me before because of my DVD itself.. The first time after loading files and during setup, it said to me that some file is missing.. So, I cleaned the CD carefully and tried again from the beginning and it worked.

Since the same CD worked with another PC, then the cause may be in the combination of the CD and the lens of DVD.. They may need cleaning.
But I didn't opened the DVD to clean the lens till now.. I just clean the CD and if not working, I burn another NEW CD and it worked.

I cleaned the CD , and the CDrom . I burned a fresh CD on 2x speed and still got the same problem .... i searched a bit and i might be that the file raidsrc.sys isnt in the iso image ( maherz removed it) ... is there any solution for it ? Is it possible that i ad the missing files in the iso image and how ?

Hello! I downloaded yesterday Windows XP SP3 and i burned it in iso at 1x velocity. Now i'm trying to install it but, after that i select boot device priority and i insert the CD, compare this message : "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key".
I'm pretty sure that the boot device i selected is wright, so what i have to do? Maybe something in the bios settings? If u can help me it would be fantastic!! Thank u!

Anytime, bro.
But this is the only important thing because Maher's release includes only SATA drivers NOT all drivers for your PC, so you'll need drivers for NET, Sound, VGA and all other components in your PC.. DPS is a huge DVD containing almost every driver exists.

Alternative way.. If you know the exact model and version of your PC components like VGA for example, you can go to its website and download drivers for it.. This will save you time and you won't have to download all this huge DVD for just a few drivers. But this only if you know.

Good luck.

Are you sure you burned the ISO file as image NOT data ?!
Refer to this tutorial to know what I mean.

I checked a previous release of Maher's (Oct 2011), it had this file in i386 folder.
I checked the original untouched ISO file from Microsoft, it doesn't have this file.
I don't know whether the latest release of Maher's contains this file or not.

Anyway, if your PC needs this file to complete installation and if it doesn't exist in i386 folder in the ISO file, follow this.. [I have attached that file for you]

- Open the ISO file with UltraISO, PowerISO or any program dealing with ISO files.
- Open i386 folder.
- drag that file "raidsrc.sys" and paste it in i386 folder.
- Save the ISO file and then, burn it.

This tutorial shows every step in Windows XP installation.. in case of need.
Good luck.

Did Maher discontinued supplying the ISO file from ThePirateBay?
