not a new problem smile

I say don't break signing unless we are forced to...

If PnP works as designed then the proper driver should win out over a similar driver with similar or possably even identical HWID's
Obviously we don't live in that world... so let's shoot for the moon... and then break signing on a as needed basis...
if we are trying to replace a native driver we MUST do it with a signed driver
- or at least that is the result we see reported quite often
- thinking out loud... this may be the cause of certain BSOD @ winpe (the 7B)... 
    mass storage signing becomes a factor at PE

We should make a note of the reason when we break signing...
although i dont know where the best place to record such info would be...
perhaps in teh deited copy of the INF? - perhaps on the forum? - something else i have not thoujght of???

your not blind - i was just not clear...

Sorry, Bâshrat the Sneaky said that I alone will have access to that... for now...

CDN doesn't have/support multiple logins per account...
just one login per account - so i have Bâshrat the Sneaky's personal login (muhaa haaa)
the old method was, we staged them on dreamhost,
and CDN automaticaly mirrored the dreamhost folder.

now i place them directly to CDN... manually
I assume this will change back to an automirror at some point.
for now we are just eliminateing dreamhost as fast a possable...

Just indicate to me there is a final ready and i will take care of it!

nope you can have a m1 searchable ODD if you want most people go with the standard compressed packs but you dont have to wink

thanks for the feedback it is always aprecieated!

it is a common mistake...

it is not clear i guess that the feedback and support forum is for DriverPacks BASE Only!
(although it does say exactly that)


Oh my... I got credit!   woo hoo - somebody noticed im here!!! - LOL

Thanks for giving back... it's what   'DRIVE's   us! {groan}

This has actualy needed to be done for some time...
thanks again for stepping up to the plate~

can we try that again in english please?

Welcome to DriverPacks!

Re:
DPsRootDel  = "false" option.  Am I understanding this correctly, the option is only if you are using a thumb drive or external drive for the location of the \D\ folder and if the option is not used all of the drivers are still installed on the machine and not removed.

ONLY if you are useing M1 (Method One) and Not useing a Read Only media
IE M1 SAD location on a thumb drive - or a network share...
without the switch the original files would be deleted from your source location.
pay no attention to this if you are not useing Method 1
- 99 out of 100 users are not useing M1
although SAD ( to be renamed SoFI {Software First Installer} ) clearly has advantages as an m1 source on an ODD since add new hardware wizard will recursively search an ODD.

Glad we have been able to make your life easier! That is why we are here!

have a great day and thanks for the kind words

where is my name?

i wrote the RAID HWID's wrapper wink

Yeah i see you put it on dreamhost... we're not useing dreamhost anymore wink...

going forward i will move them from the nightlies directly to the secure site at CDN.
(For now the only login account that's available is Bâshrat the Sneaky's personal one, so only i have it [and him of course wink])

I will copy it off the DreamHost server -
but we won't even bother putting packs there in the future since DH is nothing but headaches...
every time we have an issue it is related to them - this is our last step in totaly eliminateing them big_smile

Done!

You will have to let me do the update...
I am the only one with access to the new CDN location wink
And i think we should be moving to that (and eliminateing DreamHost)

What functionality do you give up if the native driver is used?

this issue was found by the testing team already...
we are working on it -
it doesn't happen frequently so it is hard to fix.
it is belived that it has to do with a setup file remaining in use that was called by the finisher.
there is supposed to be a runonce reg entry added to remove the folder after a reboot if the finisher delete fails.
this backup mechanism is belived to be failing in certain instances...
the root cause is a setup that reports it is done when in fact it is still running.
otherwise the D\files would be deleted by the finisher directly

Thanks for reporting - it make DriverPacks better for everyone - stay tuned to the home page for the next RC wink

i bet it still works wink tee hee

looks like your script needs a new line mr_s

Re: So, when might other Driver Packs be made to work as BartPE/UBCD4Win plugins (if ever)

Did you even LOOK at the version i just gave you... wink (Or the one that you reported on above) wink tongue

i deliver sheet before he even askes for it and he still ain't happy! (Never Satisfied i tell ya)
LOL

you are not includeing the D\ folder as part of your archive?

IE if you extract it manually to c:\  it doesnt create the D\ folder and the inf is not in C:\ either

Waht line are you modifying?

they are not moved to the D\ folder - the D\ folder is part of the archive.

Read the stickied topics in universal imageing forum here at DriverPacks...
then ask away!

Welcome to DriverPacks

lookup Galapo's OffLine sysprep tool too...
also take a look at SAD (to be renamed SoFI) in the Frequently Asked Questions forum here....

There is a boatload of Info to get you started thinking about your best path.

I intend to add Sysprep to the DriverPacks BASE soon so that will help a great deal in the near future

Dont you have an old AGP video card laying around collecting dust to save this person?

those 440mx were gimped...

lets see your base log ( since the details were a little lite...)

like which CP you chose
Which base version you used
Which pack versions you used
Which method you used (1, 2, SAD)
What OS your installing
What Service pack is the OS
any other updates (RyanM/Seraby/nLite)
Does this happen every time or just once (is it reproduceable)

thanks for the HWID's...

waiting for the DPs_BASE.log...
which will have most of the omitted info listed above
(Please RE-READ  Read BEFORE you post! in my signature) TIA

I am sure we can get this working -
but "We need you to help us to help you" as Jaak always says

Yeah mr_smartepants is a nitpicker too -
- he pointed that out about a week ago in the testing team forum

Always glad to have a few of you guys around to keep me from cutting corners wink

let me know if the bartpe issue is fixed so in can put this one in the solved stack big_smile

Perhaps we should report that typo over at the bugtracker LOL smile

glad to help... anytime!

It definately needs to be addressed...
I will figure something out...
