Hi
Well I tested with the latest DPM12.05r2

Text Mode setup I have the drivers AHCIX700
In GUI setup mode I have AHCIX86.sys v3.1.1540.151

So it works?  Great! smile

Then strangely under Windows when I try to install Drivers "AMD Chipset 12.04 (12-4_xp32-64_sb.exe)" it does not offer me the most SATA drivers, the drivers "AMD RAID 12.04 (12-4_xp32-64_raid. exe) "offers me the driver v3.3.1540.26

That's because the driver that's most compatible with your hardware is the older version, but I disabled it in favor of the new version on Flecky's request.

Updated all the above requests in 12.05.  In future, please create new threads for requests.  It makes it easier to manage.

As a reminder, the Third Party DriverPacks are "community-built" packs.  So people like you can update them and repost them for others.
The DriverPacks Team will periodically "finalize" them and upload to the main distribution server every 6-12 months.
It's not up to the Main Team to update all the Third Party DriverPacks.  I only update the few that I use (HID, Misc, WebCam) and only when I have spare time (rarely).

Well the main problem is that although you both share the same HWID, only one of you has a RAID capable system while the other has only AHCI.

I'll have to balance the use of each different driver for the different variants.

You can always test the disc by using VirtualBox.  If you get read errors, then you know it's a bad burn and to burn a new disc at the slowest speed.  No need to use "extreme" troubleshooting procedures like scanning for "bad capacitors", "tin whiskers" or firmware upgrades when it's something simple.

I think your processor bit-ness test:

:PROCESSOR
:: Detect OS bit-ness on running system.  Assumes 32-bit unless 64-bit components exist.
SET "ARCH=32" & SET "DPLoc=%cur%\%OSbuild%\x86"
IF EXIST "%SystemRoot%\SysWOW64" (SET "ARCH=64" & SET "DPLoc=%cur%\%OSbuild%\x64") ELSE (
  IF DEFINED PROCESSOR_ARCHITEW6432 (SET "ARCH=64" & SET "DPLoc=%cur%\%OSbuild%\x64")
)

could be slightly simplified with:

:PROCESSOR
:: Detect OS bit-ness on running system.  Assumes 32-bit if 64-bit components do not exist.
SET "ARCH=64"
IF NOT EXIST "%SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\cmd.exe" IF NOT DEFINED PROCESSOR_ARCHITEW6432 SET "ARCH=32"
SET "DPLoc=%cur%\%OSbuild%\x%ARCH%"

I also incorporated checking for the existence of "SysWOW64\cmd.exe" instead of just "SysWOW64" as suggested by both vmanda and dumpydooby.

Cheers and Regards

The only problem with that is on a 32 bit OS, %DPloc% would be set using \x%arch% which would be x32, not x86. wink
The folders would be broken.

But yes, I am still making significant improvements to this utility.  Hopefully I'll have something for this weekend.
I'm sooooo far behind on keeping the DriverPacks updated! sad

This is a tricky problem and I'm not sure how to solve it.  Emailing me a link to your .iso won't help because I don't have your hardware.  You'd need to send me your whole PC! wink

Hmm, well that would disable that driver for any OS then.
Does your textmode setup work on that hardware without dpms 12.03 being integrated at all?
If so, then we can just simply remove those entries from the .ini

No i check only Textmode because my unattend already have other dp (LAN, Chipset and WLAN), then we have the right setup.exe (setuporg.exe) and presetup.cmd

Well I'm 95% certain that is your problem.  If you select textmode then you must ALSO select the dpms to include.  The textmode drivers are only available to the system during textmode.  The system then relies on the extracted dpms for the duration of the install.

Yes, I understand all that.  But the txtmode driver for your w2k3 setup is being pulled from AM4.  The XP txtmode driver is from AM9.

Oh, and you can't trust VirtualBox for accurate hardware tests, you need to test on real hardware.

So, just to confirm again, your textmode options work fine with all dpms versions but you get BSOD at first reboot?
Are you sure you're checking the two boxes for dpms in DriverPacks BASE?  Select the dpms version AND Textmode!
If textmode works with all versions then the problem is not in the dpms .ini file but in the driver folders themselves.

OK, just to confirm that for you dpms 11.06 works good but all versions after that do not work.

Are you sure you're using Win2k3?  If you're seeing ahcix86.sys then you're using XP.  Win2k3 uses amd_sata.sys.

I'll see what I can do.

Well the error he was getting is caused by a 64-bit OS being installed on a 32-bit processor.  That's a condition that shouldn't be possible anyway so I may remove the check.  I suspect that he saw that in VM and that if he installed on a live-metal system it would be fine.
