I believe that that driver is already included in DP_Chipset.
Do you need that particular .msi to install something not already included in DP_Chipset cheche?

Hello again!  For the moment, yes you are correct.
There are many other updated packs for NT5, in addition.

I recommend using that MassStorage pack with DP_Chipset_wnt5_x86-32_1311161.7z and the "3rd-party" DP_Misc_wnt5_x86-32_1310141.7z at a minimum.

This combination should work for all NT5 32 bit Operating Systems.

so far, v2.7(938.2) seems like a viable candidate.

Feedback is welcomed.

Welcome to the forum!  Have added code tags for you.

Disable QuickStream Cache (QSC), delete the folder within DPs_BASE, and refresh your source from read-only media.
  Do try the latest nightly DriverPack within each subforum, or Graphics, as examples of many other updated packs ...

DP_CPU & DP_Monitor are obsolete, the latter may have added too much to the limited drive path, causing some drivers to not be installed.  You may want to avoid integrating the Webcam DriverPack for that very same reason.

Also, from the end of your log, you have only selected to integrate the Chipset pack.
  You might want to select some more, especially the MassStorage pack.     smile

Does this occur with the NT5 driverpacks, as well?
Apologies if i am somewhat off-topic.

Groeten, Jaak!
I apologize for not having responded earlier.

Can you confirm that there is a "UEFI" PnP HWID?

Quoted from Ray Hinchliffe's SIF (System Information Viewer) included file pnpdevs.txt:

"TOS6207=Toshiba Notebook Extra HCI driver
TOS7400=Toshiba AcuPoint
UEFI=Microsoft UEFI-Compliant System
VDM0469=Vadem PCIC compatible Plug and Play PCMCIA controller
VMBUS=Virtual Machine Bus
VPC2004=Lenovo ACPI-Compliant Virtual Power Controller"

Roughly estimating that if each unit averages 32W over one year for a total average draw of 32kW and at a hypothetical commercial rate of twenty cents per kilowatt*hour, that could add to an annual cost of $12,288 to run 1000 machines 8hrs per day, seven days a week, 240 days per year.

Accessories, such as monitors (or taxes, etc.) are excluded for the rough estimate.
  It also assumes that less than half, perhaps even much less, are in use at once.

Fortunately, testing and solutions with NT6 are likely to be similar to the answers on NT5.     smile

DPINST likely won't work for NT6 to properly process active graphics driver overrides, if i remember correctly.


Note that i haven't tested your pack specifically, Bigfoot.
  This result was obtained with 13-9-legacy_vista_win7_64_dd_ccc_whql

One man asked me how i thought i scored in today's exam.
  I simply said that i was confident that i had passed.
He responded by saying something like "don't you have an idea what mark you received?"
  To which i retorted, "It matters not, as long as we all passed; that is the goal for me!"

We all received over 85%.  Sadly, i think we may have lost two fellow students before the exam.  I tried to help, yet still feel failure.

That is an impressive education you have, Chief!

Most people in Canada approaching retirement age don't seem to realize that tuition can be free for them.  My electronics teacher was surprised to be reminded of that fact.  Am uncertain of tax implications.

We should be building more schools here in North America than jails and removing barriers to education for those that are financially challenged, IMHO.  For those that care not for any education, not including the learning disabled, i fear for them.  Many that embrace "ignorance is bliss" will have no future, only a past.


I openly wonder if atmospheric Krypton85 has had an influence on storm strength recently.

Well, knight1fox3 seems to like it.  I will take that as a positive, unless told otherwise.

Got it.  Thank you, Chief.

Wondering if the modified Intel HDMI audio driver works on Gen 4/Haswell.
Need feedback before an updated nightly should be released.

Here are some updates, including experimental Haswell support (audio in Sound_A):

For those AMD-ATi Graphics Adapters that require an "override" for proper OpenGL v2.1 Vertex support, navigate to your %windir%\Temp\D\G\A\ directory and install the driver deposited there with DPINST.exe (it will be in a subfolder).

Hello again!     smile

That first error with un7zip.exe is the same one i receive with a DVD-disc install experiencing read errors.

I use WinSetupFromUSB with the D-P-M-S.iso disabled in the advanced options.  All editions of D-P-M-S.iso are incompatible with the latest DPMS.

  Wow!  They finally released v1.0!!! (I have been using v1.0beta8)
Congratulations, ilko_t (and others, including cdob)!!!

"Version 1.0 released which can be downloaded from here. Apart of the missing beta in the name, there are a few important changes since beta8:

    Ability to add multiple Windows Vista, 7, 8, Server 2008/2012 sources from ISO file as a source. Use the same option to add PE2 (Vista/Server 2008) and above based utility. Thanks to synchronicity for his amazing wimlib project.
    Ability to add almost any Linux based ISO which uses hybrid cd-rom/hard disk mode, credits to cdob . Refer to this page for a non exhaustive list of tested ISOs
    Auto-format option when used with NTFS would do its best when formatting the disk,  to avoid fragmented large files on this volume later on by moving $MFT at the beginning of the partition. This way $MFT zone remains at the beginning of the volume and there should be way more contiguous space available large files to occupy
    D-P-M-S updated to D-P-M-S2, thanks to Steve
    the command prompt window during GUI mode of XP/2000/2003 setup is now hidden, thanks to cdob. It’s needed to keep the USB drive mounted throughout the GUI mode of setup
    added ability to copy all log files to the relevant WINSETUP sub-folder during PE phase of NT6 (Vista and later) boot. Create an empty file debugme with no extension in the relevant sub-directory, e.g \WINSETUP\Win7x64\debugme, and all log files from the start of PE phase will be copied next to it
    offer custom boot menu name when Linux/Other ISO is added
    when XP/2003/2000 source is added and incorrectly the i386 folder is pointed as root directory, program uses its parent directory
    updates of the tools included"

*** note that after creating a partition with this method, you likely still need to restart Setup (first part) for the USB-NTFS partition to be recognized, or Setup may fail.

Also, i advise using newer DriverPacks, such as those "nightlies" in this forum.
The following are probably the minimum you should use:
Chipset --> http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic. … 311#p54311, MassStorage --> http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic. … 312#p54312, Misc --> http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic. … 314#p54314

There are many more packs available.

Also, beware of using nLite.  It can corrupt your source.
I simply use unmodified XP source before integrating DriverPacks with DPs_BASE.
RVMi is the preferred method of integrating updates and addons.
SAD3 is useful for drivers that must be installed after Setup completes.


Also, you might be pleasantly surprised at the progress with XP graphics drivers.
   http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic. … 544#p52544

Newer updates to the graphics drivers are undergoing testing now.
  The hope is that they may be released to the public for testing soon.     hmm

I appreciate any feedback you can offer.


I hope these suggestions help.

Just noting that i encountered BSOD's or "no drive" issues on a HP Pavillion m7570n (ICH7R/DH) in AHCI mode.
The BSOD's were STOP $7F, $50 in XP, and STOP $1E in W2k.
During the "no drive" screen for partitioning, i noticed a "^ More" at the upper right corner of the partitioning box.
I pressed the up arrow and was greeted with the BSOD particular to my case.

It turned out to be the HDD that was causing this.
After swapping out the Seagate 160G SATA drive for a different drive, i was able to successfully partition the replacement drive and install Windows in AHCI mode without resorting to "fix_hdc".
I have also encountered this with a Maxtor Diamond Max 10 80G drive.

Hopefully this helps.
If not, please provide more details as requested.
I am unable to make proper decisions based on vague or incomplete data.
