Yup. They call that perjury and it has a mandatory ten year prison sentence.

In light of that, I have mitigated the lifetime ban to a much more reasonable ten years...

Ten in da Pen for da xman!

You do realize that in a court of law that wouldn't fly. Just because the person didn't relinquish the information asked for and then later does makes it even worse. It's as good as lying.

I warned you that you were on thin ice. Banned for life!

You should have apologized for wasting everyones time...

Yeah whatever

Re: [SLVD] D folder always on my C drive

2009-12-10T02:09:44Z

yeah you lied... Every single tutorial we have says in big bold print "no changes after DriverPacks".
I asked and confirmed this with you several times... you were adamant you made no changes after DriverPacks. (a lie)

Please realize that Helmi's directions are spot on Identical to what you originally told us you were doing.

I will say it again: If you would have done what you told us you did...
It WOULD have worked without issue, and you would not have needed to post here at all...

the fact is you did made changes (with nLite) after you slipstreamed DriverPacks and you definitely lied about it several times.

had you told the truth from the beginning (I run DriverPacks first then nLite...)
We would have solved this issue in one post
but you simply refused to admit (until post #20) that you did not follow the directions.

please note: Your issue was solved in post 21. (the very first post after you told the truth)

edit....
Please consider...
There was no need for Helmi, or anyone else, to explain the steps to you like you were a child...
NOT UNTIL AFTER You finally admitted that you made changes to your source after slipstreaming the DriverPacks.
Helmi's simple instructions have been posted, verbatim, by me personaly many times.
There was simply no need to do so until you stated that you made changes with nLite after DriverPacks.

Also consider...
Had you done something else, other than nLite, after DriverPacks Helmi's instructions would not have helped at all.
It was only your admission that IT WAS nLite that you ran after DriverPacks that made his instructions useful...

please also note you can run nLite after DriverPacks as long as the ONLY thing you do is create ISO.
If you make ANY changes at all with nLite after DriverPacks then your source is FUBAR.
In this case because nLite deleted and replaced the winnt.sif after DriverPacks edited the winnt.sif.
Had you done your steps in the proper order (per our tutorial)... you would have been successful every time.
We already knew that nLite will delete an existing winnt.sif... Therefore we must always be after nLite .
DriverPacks last is plastered everywhere for a reason. Actually lot's of reasons... but this one is as good as any.

That is why we provide our tutorials, in order to avoid support issues.

end edit...

We have been doing this for many years, I knew from the very start you had to have changed something after DriverPacks.

We were at a loss to be able to help, until you told us what you did after DriverPacks.

The truth is that you absolutely DID make changes after you ran DriverPacks.
(And it only took twenty posts to discover that it was with nLite)
ANY one or all of our users could have solved it after that revelation...
Statistically speaking there was only one possable answer - ID ten T + PEBKAC

Seems pretty cut and dry to me.
You did not follow directions, and you did not tell us the truth about your methods.
We cannot help unless you are very specific about what you did. Once you told us about your "nlite AFTER DriverPacks" escapades, it was obvious (to us) what went wrong.
We don't write tutorials to hear ourselves talk (very often).

You lied to me... and wasted my time, do it again and your banned.

If you make ANY changes after DriverPacks then it will fail, nLite can make LOTS of changes.
The only valid step after DriverPacks is create ISO / Disc. RTFM!

Thanx mr_smartepants, OverFlow and especially Helmi.

The ONLY operation you may perform with nLite after BASE is ISO creation.
Do the unattended stuff first, leave nLite open at ISO creation page, load BASE, slipstream DriverPacks, return to nLite and finish the ISO - that's how I do it and it works great.

That really did the trick.

AHA!
Nlite hosed your winnt.sif.
That explains everything.

Always, Always, Always run DriverPacks LAST!
Nlite doesn't add to winnt.sif, it REPLACES it.

That means #1 is true... you MUST have made changes after you Slipstreamed the DriverPacks with DriverPacks BASE.
They WERE THERE! You confirmed it in post #14. AND your log confirms it!!!

So... What happened to them. They did not evaporate.

What did you do AFTER you ran DriverPacks BASE??? Spill it, Tell us what you did AFTER DriverPacks.

They didn't just get up and walk away... and the HDD troll didn't eat them either...

Your on thin ice now...

I am getting tired of playing footsies with you. You say one thing then two posts later recant or say the opposite.

DriverPacks is downloaded at the rate of a million times a week... Yet YOU ALONE have this issue.
If you Can't tell us what you are doing that millions and millions of other users are not then I can't help you.

Whatever the problem is it is related to something that YOU (specifically you) are doing.
You alone. IE - Millions and millions to one odds. Five years worth.
So if it is working for millions of other people who all use nLite and DriverPacks together with no issues at all, and no one except you has this problem then we know for sure where the problem exists. Statistically speaking there is no other viable answer... The process is tried and proven over many years, and multiple OS's and every conceivable language for each of those OS's.

So either tell us truthfully and specifically what you're doing or we simply can't help.
If you use DriverPacks BASE and the DriverPacks the way it is explained in the tutorial IT WILL WORK.
It will absolutely delete the DriverPacks and related files automatically. Guaranteed, Period.
Billions of successful installs can't be wrong...

I only have limited amount of patience. think carefully about everything I have already posted.
I have either already given you the answer or you have omitted Critical info from your responses or both.
(How do you create your disc? answer In Detail, step by step, right up to the burning of the disc!)

Two guesses here -

a) You burned the wrong source / ISO to the disc... DUH!
b) You made changes after DriverPacks BASE was run

Thanx, it's a laptop with 6GB 1333MHz DDR3 RAM with an i7-975 processor running @3.33GHz.

After I've slipstreamed the DriverPacks I seem to lose the "command9="%SystemDrive%\DPsFnshr.exe" code.
