OK, sounds to me like ahcix86.sys is being called inappropriately. JakeLD would know more about this than I.
As to VirtualBox, if you have the latest version installed (3.0.2), click on "Settings" then "Hard Disks" tab on the left, then uncheck "Enable additional controller" and see if that helps. At the very least, you should be able to install Win2k in VirtualBox and get your code sorted.

Excellent first post!
Welcome to DriverPacks!
I edited your title to be more descriptive and added code tags to the post.
newsposter wrote:
Driverpacks officially supports XP only. AFAIK no XP driver will function on Win2k.
That's not true. Granted, the bulk of our drivers are oriented for XP, but many pull double-duty and work with Win2k.
JakeLD just built a new dpms release candidate that addresses your issue (maybe). Can you test?
Fixed

If that doesn't work, newsposter is right I fear. Win2k is beyond it's end-of-life, so your best bet is to run it in VirtualBox when needed. Otherwise you can run Win2k on your older system where it was perfectly happy.

Re: Sysprep XP SP3 and Activation Problems (10 replies, posted in Other)
Actually, that is very easy to fulfill.
For RIS, all you need is your own DNS server, a separate RIS server, and RogueSpear's AutoImage (no longer in development, but still available for now).
My multi-OEM OEMSCAN addon was developed exactly to meet your requirements. And it doesn't require the COA keys (because they're not valid OEM SLP keys anyway). And it's 100% legal because it uses M$ own activation mechanism.

Re: Are you frustrated waiting for the DP release? (32 replies, posted in Other)
Well, WHQL status doesn't mean what it used to unfortunately. Do you honestly think M$ tests those drivers on every conceivable hardware combination? I don't! 
Besides, the WHQL status means those drivers were tested "as packaged". We don't redistribute those drivers as the manufacturer intended, so we incur additional testing hours. Besides, have you seen some of the nvidia drivers that got WHQL'd? h*ll, M$ even granted WHQL to BETA drivers! WTF?
Sometimes a vendor will release drivers for 4 or 5 HWIDs, but we know they'll work with about 50 HWIDs, so we need to test the remaining 45 HWIDs to ensure stability.
That's the nature of the beast.

It's been nearly a week and we haven't had a single post here with results!
I've personally had great success with both sound DriverPacks on the following hardware:
Asus Xonar DX
Realtek HD Audio, Desktop
Realtek HD Audio, Laptop
Realtek AC97 Audio, Laptop
But I am only one man with limited access to hardware.

Re: Windows Home Server with Power Pack 1 (13 replies, posted in Feedback and Support - DriverPacks Base)
Well I had a look at a borrowed WHS disc and it has a hybrid layout. It has a \sources\boot.wim for the PE just like Vista, but then as you pointed out it has a \svr_2003\i386 folder with all the files you'd expect from 2003 server.
Adding DriverPacks as method 2 shouldn't really be that difficult I would think since the files DriverPacks BASE modifies are right there.. Just point to the nested folder.
But textmode mass-storage might be completely different since it uses the boot.wim like Vista. And yet it has our typical dosnet.inf and txtsetup.sif files.
Hmmmm...

Re: Windows Home Server with Power Pack 1 (13 replies, posted in Feedback and Support - DriverPacks Base)
Doh! You're right, I was wrong.
My apologies to you.
Google & wikipedia are indeed trusted friends now.
It's possible that if the disc folder structure is different than 2003, that DriverPacks won't work. DriverPacks isn't advertised to work on Home Server.
I'll have to get ahold of an evaluation copy and see what the differences are. OverFlow would have to make the modifications to the code to support it though.

Re: Sysprep XP SP3 and Activation Problems (10 replies, posted in Other)
OK, I understand your position, but try to understand ours.
Your problem is neither DriverPacks related nor is it a problem when using DriverPacks with universal imaging. That's why I moved the topic to "Other".
Your problem is product activation...period.
First, you need to determine what media type & key you're trying to install.
Link #1
Link #2
Link #3
The product ID can be found in your installation source CD in \i386\setupp.ini
If in fact you are installing a Retail version of XP, then each machine will have a unique activation key and must be activated over the internet or phone.
A VLK (Volume License Key) version of XP uses a single key to unlock a fixed number of machines (10, 100, 1000+) and the machines require no online activation.
OEM SLP (System Locked Preactivation) versions of XP use several key files to lock a copy of XP to a specific manufacturer (HP, Dell, etc.) and these machines are preactivated during XP setup and require no online activation.
All versions require validation to access MU/WU and it is this WGA validation process that you are failing which means that somewhere along the line you are not following the rules regarding activation/licensing.
The MAR program is actually a great benefit to the community and at a great price point. It's a blend of Retail/system builder OEM license/media. I'd be interested in seeing what they include in the OPK (OEM Preactivation Kit).
So once you determine what type of XP you are installing, then we can help you with your activation/validation issues.
Just so we're clear, we WILL NOT help you engage in piracy or other illegal acts.

Topic: Release Candidate of Sound DriverPacks open for public testing! (66 replies, posted in News)
It's been over a year since we last released Sound DriverPacks! We're a bit overdue for a release don't you think?
Two of our testing team members have devoted a lot of work renovating these packs. Many thanks to Major. I helped too.
Because there's been so many changes to thess DriverPacks, we need lots of testers.
So, we're opening up testing to you! Our loving public.
But please remember, that these are Release Candidates, and not Releases. Try not to deploy these into a production or critical environment. We're releasing these for testing purposes only.
Please report back successes & failures to this thread. The sooner you get those reports back to us, the sooner we can make these a final release.
Thanks, and enjoy the fruits of our labor.

Re: Sysprep XP SP3 and Activation Problems (10 replies, posted in Other)
In your situation, a volume license may actually be better. Expensive, but easier.
But if you're willing to do the research, the OEM SLP method would be the cheapest method if you're installing the OS that's listed on the COA sticker on each machine. Perfectly legal and it's M$ preferred method.
Actually, thinking about it, you may not be able to purchase an XP volume license because M$ dropped it from active support. If you're lucky, you may still be able to purchase a TechNet subscription to include XP. But you might have better luck migrating your fleet to Win7 since it's so awesome.

Re: Sysprep XP SP3 and Activation Problems (10 replies, posted in Other)
You can only activate a "Retail" copy once with any given key.
That's your problem.
If these are OEM machines (COA sticker on outside), then use my OEMSCAN addon to validate using SLP key method.
And this has nothing to do with DriverPacks.

Re: How finisher removes its temps?'cause it grows the MFT zone very much (11 replies, posted in Other)
All the drivers are expanded from disc-based installs to %systemdrive%\D\.
Once the installed system uses/installs the drivers it needs, DriverPacks Finisher then deletes the entire %systemdrive%\D\ directory and everything in it.
Unless of course you enable KTD (Keep The Drivers), which we do NOT recommend.
