Arrrggghhh! The card came today and...it doesn't have a HDMI port. 
I really should have done my homework. I wanted to test the HDMI drivers (there's a conflict between G_A and S_A).
Oh well, testing will commence this weekend.

Re: Downgrade to XP on notebook with SATA (35 replies, posted in Installation Platforms)
As I suspected, bad DVD.
Bad DVD, naughty bad DVD! <whip crack>
Try rebuilding your source from scratch again. Then rebuild the ISO and test that ISO in virtualbox. If all is well, burn to DVD then test that DVD in virtualbox.
THEN test in real metal hardware.

The older DP Soud like April seemed to support this device but the newer DP Sound removed it.
That's because it was a generic HWID that caught too many 'other' hardware devices instead of the one it was meant for.
I updated the S_A dp in the testing team area.

Re: Downgrade to XP on notebook with SATA (35 replies, posted in Installation Platforms)
Sounds like a bad CD/DVD burn. Did you try installing XP under a VM like VirtualPC or VirtualBox?
If you integrated DriverPacks, and everything got copied over during txtsetup and XP got past the T-39 stage of install; then we have a problem. Otherwise, something different is wrong with your XP install source.

Welcome to DriverPacks!
We need a little more info than "Tried your pack but it doesn't help".
Can you read this post then report back?
http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=4
Also, I find it difficult to believe you can't change ANY settings in the bios. You must have a setting for your hard drive controller for either 'AHCI' (recommended) or 'Legacy'.
That error code is usually caused by the hard drive not responding to queries. Either a hardware problem, or driver problem.

Welcome to DriverPacks!
Your 1394 port is NOT ethernet or WLAN, it's FireWire.
Can you read this post, then report back?
http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=4
Just so you know, I cannot get my Atheros WLAN card working at all because of missing drivers. It's possible your card is not supported by our DriverPacks. Which is why it's important you supply us with the information in that post.

Mass Storage (Windows not installed on some PCs with SATA drivers, but without DP installed works fine)!
Thanks SamLab for the encouraging news.
Can you be more specific on what hardware these were tested on? G_B 8.07a has LOTS of changes, it'd be nice to know what worked.
And we can't fix Mass Storage without knowing what's wrong. Please reply in the appropriate M_S thread.

Are this lines required for same driver that are included in the DriverPack ? If i remove this line do i get some problems afterwords with same drivers ?
Yes, they are required ONLY if you don't want to see the alert dialog during Windows setup about unsigned drivers. See, not all of the drivers included in the DriverPacks are digitally signed.

Indeed. There's a guy at work trying to sell his brand-new P300 Sattelite (3-wks old, bought for $1200) for about $900 out of frustration because he can't get XP working. I'm tempted to buy it just because it's a great gaming notebook I can take on my 'trips' in addition to having a new mobile testing platform to replace my 4-yr old notebook.
Toshiba sux.

Well, M$ introduced those 'non-standard' practices years ago with their html proxy server/client 'handshake'. Pretty shady if you ask me. Made IE6 look really fast compared with those other browsers when accessing pages served from M$ servers.

No 177.70. 807b includes the new(er) re-release of the 175.19 WHQL drivers from 9 July.
Besides, we haven't had a release dp since April. I'd like to get the bugs worked out of these before we start playing with Cuda/PhysX drivers.

I should be ready to release G_A 8.07b with the new 8.7 cats either today or tomorrow. ATI still has not released the new mobile drivers yet.
