you didn't have to unstick it...
i was just saying it is deserving of so much more !

sorry what i said did not translate well!

yes you can install to an array...
as long as you can set up the array in the PC's hardware setup

NO!

Use the provided host!
- that is why we provide it!

yeah you missed the target they go into the subfolder named DriverPacks

yes base extracts them if needed...

LOL... it IS a tag folder... good point

but that does not cure either issue

Card reader issues are more commonly reported than this issue...
I must include the exit for the loop to address the more common issue...

therefore the line needs to be written so it will exit when the source is found...

I want to fix both issues... your feedback is the single most important part of me achieving that goal.

Thank you for taking the time to try different things and reporting your results
this takes time and effort on your part, I recognize and appreciate this effort.

I will consider some more options and report back... (i hope you used the "subscribe to this topic" button below )

Do you have a Folder named OEM on any of your HDDs?...
IE C:\OEM or D:\OEM

Um... you are going to have problems

adding DriverPacks HAS to be the last step. If you added drivers then added sp3 you now have garbage... sorry

please read the tutorial (in my signature)

Welcome to DriverPacks and thanks for the kind words!

Only one suggestion...

you incorrectly refer to the WinPE phase of setup as GUI portion.

the three stages are Txt, WinPE, and GUI. GUI mode is the final stage after the second reboot.

WinPE (Windows Preinstallation Environment) is the stage after txt mode reboots... and is when presetup.cmd runs
(BartPE was developed based on this stage of setup)

But i knew what you meant

Make that two ... sorry!

this is a variation of a standard "parallel installation"  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316941 (method 4)
(you refer to this as leave filesystem intact - which is descriptive but not accurate technically)
That would be a good thing to point out at the very beginning
people who are savvy will have the general idea already in their head from the beginning   
Including the keyword will also make your instructions findable to people who might use the search feature.
Changing the title is probably not necessary but i think saying
How To use DriverPacks when doing a parallel installation (without the mess!)
Would be helpful for finding your info and it's much more descriptive / technically accurate terminology!

Oh... and - WOW! Excellent Job!

Welcome to DriverPacks and we're delighted you posted
I second the opinion of your first post
I have not seen a better one than this!

being as the translators can not put files on the server that means i must do still update the files manually...
(like any of our other packs)
Plus it would require new pages on the site and code in base itself.

Since this is true is it much easier for me to just add them and release a newer version of base
and i only have to update two lines (version number) on the existing web page

So it would be a lot of work to do this way and it is almost no work at all to do it as we are now...

However a link to the bug tracker might be cool...
that way a user could get the update themselves, if one exists..

It is quite easy for me to release a new version of base... and i will do a dlanguage only update... like i did with 8.12.2

Keep up the brainstorming... I love it!

Thanks again for everything you do!

His issue has solely to do with his machine not parsing that single multi-statement line correctly

I am guessing it read SET CDDRIVE=%%i:& GOTO DPsFound
and then set CDDRIVE to something like "D:& GOTO DPsFound" instead of setting it to "D:"

By enclosing the two statements in brackets and putting a CRLF instead of using an & sign as a separator I will get the same result, it just takes up an extra line and a few extra bytes in the file for no good reason whatsoever.

alternately i might have tried SET CDDRIVE=%%i:&& GOTO DPsFound

for some reason the line is not being parsed correctly on his platform...
could be the AMD processor, RAM or the ODD (resetting BIOS defaults is a valid suggestion lewxam)
I have seen even stranger things than this caused by a video card with RAM issues.

I don't think it is the HDD     BUT...
He did say it works if he uses an IDE drive...  That is the best clue we have     
I apply scientific parsimony here
If there are a number of explanations for observed phenomena, the simplest explanation is preferred.

Something with the HDD... perhaps a caching issue

if this were an Intel box i would suggest flashing the BIOS (which can update the microcode on the CPU too)

There just is not enough info provided to draw any kind of a valid conclusion,
and i don't expect anything to be voluteered,
It's like pulling teeth to get simple direct questions answered.
the questions he did answer, like the error message, he was not even able to copy into his post correctly.
So we may never know why his PC Fails to process a line that millions of other computers have no issue with...
my guess is he built it himself.

it did not report

"\OEM\" folder not found. all drive letters were searched

hmmm

try...

FOR %%i IN (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y) DO IF EXIST "%%i:%TAGFILE%" SET CDDRIVE=%%i:& GOTO DPsFound
start /wait Echo "\OEM\" folder not found. all drive letters were searched.
:DPsFound
start /wait dir %CDDRIVE%\OEM\.

and tell me if it lists the contents of the OEM folder on the Disc

Please verify that the ODD is correctly jumpered and cabled...
if it is alone on the IDE channel it should be jumpered as master
and at the end of the cable (not in the middle)
if it is jumpered as 'cable select' move it to the 'master' position.
or try a new cable and then a different ODD ...

try overwiting the un7zip.exe that was installed with the 8.12 with the un7zip.exe that came with base 8.05
(they are not the same) What language are you installing? I assume english but assuming is not good

Better late than never! thanks a million!
