Which files/folders are you referring to? During an XP install, DriverPacks Finisher automatically cleans up all the folders after the first restart.
The only files left over are log files which are left on purpose. If you enabled the KTD option in DriverPacks BASE then all the folders will be left because that's what KTD does.

According to reports all over the web, Windows 8 has gone final-code and in manufacturing.
Several sources report a leaked version is available (posting links is against forum rules).
I for one do NOT like the "Metro" interface. I want my standard desktop please!
At $39 for (Vista/Win7) upgrade prices, or $15 upgrade for purchases of new hardware, who's planning on upgrading?
Thoughts?

According to reports all over the web, Server2012 has gone final-code and in manufacturing.
Several sources report a leaked version is available (posting links is against forum rules).
Is anyone going to buy this for a Home Server replacement? At ~$450 per license, it's an expensive home purchase.
I'm hoping that Server 2012 "Foundation" will be the eventual cost-effective version to replace Home Server 2011.
Thoughts?

The driver you need is in DP_LAN_wnt5_x86-32_1205\D\L\B\
There's no need to use RIS drivers unless you're specifically building XP for deployment from a Remote Installation Server (RIS).

After reviewing both drivers, I think that's a load of BS. I can't determine any real differences in the content of the .inf files.
I'll add it back in again but I really don't think it's needed and will probably be ignored by the system.
You will confirm the fix for us right?

Do you still suggest me to install the driver you linked to? I mean.. will it install over the drivers I've already installed (VGA Compatible) or that's the one for just the "Video Controller" with the exclamation mark?
Yes.
The two devices are tied together and are part of a single component. The yellow exclamation symbol indicates a problem with the device so it's not "OK".
The driver I linked to is the one I used in DriverPack Graphics B but it's the full installer. If it works then there is something clearly wrong with DriverPack Graphics B that I need to fix. If it doesn't work then there might be something wrong with your actual hardware or something that HP did in that particular box.
What model HP is it?

Glad the sound driver worked.
Odd that the graphics driver did not install.
Can you try the full Intel driver from here and test?
Installing raw drivers should never add items to the programs list unless there are "co-installers" that go along with it. This is normal behavior.

Well, turns out that neither of these didn't work. Got errors with both of them, when trying to install.
That's because we strip out the .exe installer files. The .exe files you were clicking on are part of the control panels. You have to either right-click the .inf file and select "install" or go to the device manager, double-click the sound and graphics components and click the "update driver" button and select the folder containing the drivers I indicated.

OK, I had a quick look.
Your graphics chip is supported by DP_Graphics_B_wnt5_x86-32_1206\D\G\I2\
Your sound chip is supported by DP_Sound_B_wnt5_x86-32_1111\D\S\S16
Can you extract those folders from each DriverPacks and try to update the drivers on the running system?
If that works fine, then it's possible that something wacky happened during post-processing. Can you also post your DPsFnshr.log?

Excellent first post!
Thank you for taking the time to read our tutorial. Most don't get that far.
Looks like you did everything correctly. It's my personal opinion to not use nlite at all, but everyone has their own preferences on tools.
It's normal for the DriverPacks to be deleted from your systemdrive after install is complete. The DriverPacks Finisher cleans up after itself.
Can you post your HWID list? Use the tool linked in my signature.

It's in dpms 12.07r1. Soon, very soon.
And yes, the driver will only load in Win2k3. The .inf looks like it would support XP, but the .sys will refuse to load in textmode.

I'm not sure what you mean. My utility doesn't ask if you want to reboot. If you don't want the timer to count down at the end then just delete the whole :Timer section.
It does have a "silent" switch though, just use the command: DP_Install_Tool.cmd /S

Well I finally got my two 2tb drives in yesterday. Seagate ST2000DM001.
I used them to build a RAID-1 mirror array, and installed my build of XP Pro with full DriverPacks and the install proceeded without issue. My Intel RAID controller uses IASTOR7.
No problems with these particular drives on that controller when using XP.

Re: Latest DPMS fails with older Nvidia chipset and HDDs (7 replies, posted in DriverPack Mass Storage)
OK, so in textmode it's using the old legacy driver from \D\M\N\NVATABUS.inf but once Windows loads it's trying to replace it with \D\M\N7\nvgts.inf which is causing the problem.
For that old machine, you'll need to delete the \D\M\N6 and \D\M\N7 folders and remove all the entries for DriverPack_MassStorage_wnt5_x86-32.ini sections [N6] & [N7] and repackage the dpms before integrating. That will force the legacy driver to load.
If you have a LOT of time for testing, you could test all the DriverPacks from this post and let us know which packs work and which do not.
...moving thread to dpms area instead of DriverPack Chipset...

On the blue textmode setup screen, the screen you select the drive and format prior to XP install, if you could jot down the controller name would be helpful. The controller name is in [brackets].
If you can boot into safe mode and retrieve the setupact.log or setupapi.log from the C:\windows\ folder and search for your SATA HWID. The error message may also be helpful.

It doesn't prompt to the right directory. It shows this path:
C:\\windows\oem\
if i remember correctly.
But when i click OK it doesn't install the driver because i guess the driver is not there. And i have to browse for the driver on the usb drive.
The double-slash is the problem. Somewhere in their utility they've added an extra slash. The path should be C:\windows\oem\
Oh BTW, don't use nlite for drivers. We don't support that.
