please read the articals i referenced especialy the pdf - obviously you didn't -

the artical from MS says and i Quote

"Microsoft is not adding significant functionality from newer versions of Windows, such as Windows Vista, to Windows XP through XP SP3. For instance, Windows XP SP3 does not include Windows Internet Explorer 7, although Windows XP SP3 does include updates to both Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7, and it will update whichever version is installed on the computer. One notable exception is that, SP3 does include Network Access Protection (NAP) to help organizations that use Windows XP to take advantage of new features in the Windows Server® 2008 operating system."

two new features
NAP (requires 2008 server which is Beta [RC is still beta])
Black hole router (who cares i dont need my os to tell me a router is broken)

which makes it a rollup package as i said...

you are wrong it is NOT PUBLIC if you cant get it from MS directly.
A public release is available through legitimate channels IE directly to the PUBLIC from MS.

Yes it does add NAP - and that is helpful because we want to make our networks non functional?
And how many people are running their networks on 2008 beta servers? Shame on them if they are...
Beta and RC (release candidates) are for test enviroments only not for production application / end users.

no hard feelings at all  you are just wrong

PS it ain't a war if you dont have any ammo...

Since you are not useing DriverPacks why are you posting here?

No formal product support is available from Microsoft for this beta product.

The link only works because the long number after the filename is there
(this is someones windows Live ID member number and they are obviously a MSDN subscriber or mvp)
(very bad boy - posting back doors)
    there is no way for the average person to go to MS and download SP3.

Everyone has clearly established it is broken. MS don't support it - I can't either. Its that Simple

SP3 does not add any new features it is simply a Rollup of existing patches. That being the case this is a very low priority item. do what we have been doing use SP2 and use RVM integrator or nLIte to add the needed remaining updates. Driverpacks detects and is aware of SP3 already.

If you cant get SP3 to work tell MS that is the point of a RC (Release Candidate) to eliminate bugs.

Two things here...

1 don't tell them that the driverpacks guys sent ya and don't use RVM nLite or DriverPacks on your install
    if you wish to report a bug. Do a CLEAN fully attended install (no winnt.sif) for your reporting.
    MS shut down AutoPatcher over something just like this. I would like to see us stay alive.

2 don't report it if you are not able to get the file through legitimate means.
    (the link above is a back door, not a legitimate means, the link should be removed, post updated)
    Go to MS and go to downloads and see if you can get it without logging in.
    If you have to log in as a MSDN member then it ain't public is it?
    If it aint public it's beta and if its beta it not supported.

This RC is broken - that everyone agrees on - so don't use SP3 till it gets fixed

better luck with the next RC

If you run DriverPacks as the last step in your install It will set the OEM install selection correctly for you.

It is well documented and extremely important that DriverPacks is - The Last Step - prior to making your ISO.

SP3 is still not supported...

There ARE KNOWN ISSUES with driverpacks and XP SP3
(until you try an XP SP2 install we won't know if you have found yet another one.)

1 use an XP SP2 source - Until we have a beta version of base with SP3 support
2 make sure DriverPacks is the VERY LAST  step in your UWXP preparation before you create the ISO.

If you are unable to try this with xp sp2 you will have to wait for the release of base when we announce officialy supporting XP SP3.

Hello usficcient and Welcome to DriverPacks.
We are glad your here.

XP SP3 is not yet supported (and it is not officialy released yet) and there is a known issue with HDA KB888111 and SP3, did you try it with SP2?

Obviously si3112 drivers are included or you would not have found your HDD in text mode for partitioning, formating and initial file copy.
Chipset and CPU packs are highly recomended and may solve your problem since the PnP HDD drivers depend on both - as do video and sound.
Did you try method 2?

Fall back to xp sp2 (you can install sp3 after your up and running we don't officialy support Beta or RC releases)
Add at least Chipset and CPU.
set QSC to enable and use method 2 and report back.

Thanks for providing good details in your title and post.

did you try searching for the HWID useing google?

Did you install useing a Disk that is slipstreamed with driverpacks?

What is the HWID?

did you read the post marked read before you post?...

I am sorry to hear you had an car accident. I hope all is well now.

I volunteered for the task last year when I wrote the BartPe Plugin. There are many posts about my contributions. I assumed with so many references in base and on the forums that it was well known I code Base. It wasn't handed over or dropped in my lap. I just felt the need to contribute and by pure luck this just happened to coincide with Bâshrat the Sneaky getting swamped at College. I suppose because it is such a thankless job I was very offended. Other than a handful of people who helped me from the UBCD4Win forum and Bâshrat the Sneaky himself no one has said thanks. On the other hand I have had no bug reports and no errors reported for over a year in my coding of base. I have had a few requests like this for new stuff but perhaps you can now understand why my motivation could go right in the toilet when there is not even a thank you waiting at the end of hundreds of hours of coding and not even getting reconized for the hundreds of hours already invested.   

I belive what I see. I see hundreds of requests for free work almost no contributions to the forum and only a handful of people even willing to signup for the testing team to test our test packs. and speaking of test packs when was the last time anyone thanked them (other than other team members). it is not an almost thankless job it is a thankless job. I don't blame Bâshrat the Sneaky one bit for putting his personal goals ahead of this project. Your post almost made me join him.

Furthermore when i added the BartPE plugin i only added about 200 lines of code but i had to rewrite another thousand lines of code that were not up to my standards. some of this code was inherited by Bâshrat the Sneaky when he took on this project and was pretty sloppy. This was Bâshrat the Sneaky's first program that he ever wrote and he was like 14 years old. Some of that code was terrible - although fuctional - it needed to be totaly rewritten. So you dismiss this work as easy since it only requires a few lines, but where to put those lines in the 30 or 40 thousand lines of code and hundreds of modules that exist? and how many hundereds of lines that have to be rewritten to add them. You have no idea what you are asking or what I must do to accomplish this task. You easily dissmiss and diminish the tremendous amount of work / programming required.

@ all- I am sorry I let my temper get the best of me, but I have to be true to myself. this certainly wasn't directed at Mr_smartePants or jaak or muiz or any team member - you guys are in the trenches and understand all to well what i am feeling. I am only human and i do have feelings and emotions. I am sorry i was unble to keep them in check today. perhaps i am just wound a little to tight because of things in my own personal life and i shouldn't let that spill over here.

I thought i read that sp3 included the hda fix?

IDK you tell me...
i have code to write for bartpe lan plugin
and i have to code the base for the release of xp sp3
and i have the bug for method 1 to fix..
dont have enough time for unsupported stuff like this ATM.

it sounds like a great idea check with rougespear and take a look at how he does RIS with autoimage.

dvds cost money you mean at 20 cents each that would break your budget? and a dvdrom is $10?
sounds like you need to stop working for free...

your welcome and have a great day!

UM just in case it may help someone else what were you doing....

I am going to guess You removed all the existing drivers useing nLite...

We add drivers to windows and we don't replace them unless there is an update. most standard IDE drivers dont have upgrades so removing them would make them unavaliable since they are not in the packs.

did i guess correctly?

RougeSpear is an awesome individual and im sure if his app didn't work he'll be glad to help as well.
He was on the main testing team here before we went open source and still drops in on us.
