Dude... you are straining the limits of our "other" forums intention. other is intended  as a catch all for driverpacks related posts.

Not that i don't find news and trivia useful, and you do always find cool stuff.

Just saying ... OT

Thanks for all your input around here. I appreciate it.

LoL... somehow i suspected you would... 

are there any driver left in the packs you havent added or updated tongue
you even updated my Voodoo drivers for me.

Now all we need is a successful test

PS did you see this

Thanks HAVIC!

Hopefully we can find someone to test it for us big_smile

Thanks for reporting big_smile

it would seem it would be easier just to seed msvcr100 rather than doing two installs...

well done. perhaps it will help others big_smile

And the number one goofball still present here big_smile

Thanks for reporting...

The third party driverpacks are just that... third party.

Please add the driver 
tutorial here http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=5

Test that it does in fact install correctly
Post us a link to the updated modem pack that you have tested and you know is working
- Even if we were to add this driver we would still need you, or someone else with this hardware, to test it big_smile.

You already know how valuable these packs are,
and you have already tried to help others,
can you go the final mile?

I really need to set some time aside to update the finisher...  having teenagers really chews up my evenings big_smile

there is nothing to stop us from using lzma2 for all x64 packs now... BASE does not currently support any x64 OS's

At the point I update BASE next i could easily add an updated dll ... Did i understand correctly that un7zip works fine with an updated dll?

Good stuff!

I'll have to check the code and see .. and it's late here and i won't do it now...
but it may be that the finisher does create a folder called Tmp big_smile.
and then deletes it beliving it is it's own folder. That is not a native windows folder wink

NP AT... Glad it's solved big_smile

please post your DPs_BASE.log. TY

he actually posted on Christmas eve... but still big_smile

I am surprised the issue persisted once you tried integrating the chipset pack into the Boot Wim.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Keith are your installs in english or some other language?

The day Nvida closed the doors on 3dfx was a dark day in computer graphics. It set the industry back ten years in quality and performace.

He asked tongue

the DPsFnshr.log will be in your windows folder (%SystemRoot%) after (if and when) it runs.

Forgive the interjection, i wonder what current the HDD is rated for in Amps.  It should be stamped on the drive; beside the 5V rating.

See this post for more info, if applicable.  http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic. … 952#p46952 hmm


Hi,

Not sure how the amps of the HDD would effect the path of certain files?

Keith

simple example:

Device draws 1 amp ...  port supplies .5 amp.
device has insufficent power and runs , but not properly (barely limping along). As the overload on the circuit extends over a period of time it overheats the protection circuit and it interupts the power (a brown out / low voltage / insufficient current / lack of sufficient power issue). This manifests itself as a copy error.  Obviously the device will draw more power when it is working than when it is idle, during the copy process the HDD is at full current draw for an extended period of time.

Power circuits will tolerate being over loaded for short periods of time. Most power supplies are not 100% "Duty cycle" if you look they will be rated at say 75% duty cycle. that means that a 500 watt power supply will run at it's peak rating of 500 watts for a breif period, say a few seconds. It's "nominal" or continuous rating is 75% of 500 watts or 425 watts. Thus not all 500 watt power supplies are actually 500 watts. Which is why some cost 100 dollars and some cost 35 dollars. the higher priced ones are 100% duty and the cheap ones may only be 60% duty (your cheap 500 watt supply is really only a 300 watt.)  While this 500 will boot your computer and possably install the OS once you start a game or fire up that autocad program or watch a movie then your PC blue screens and poops out. You were over 300 watts for too long ...

Worth looking at, may be a possable cause, may not. Many external USB hubs and other devices have their own power supply just for this reason.

I had a 2.5 HDD case that was USB sometimes i could run it off the usb cable sometimes i had to also connect the "extra" USB power cable. (thus it would draw power from TWO USB ports or the USB port and the Keyboard port becuase the single USB port had insufficeint power to run the HDD properly.

tech dude additionally points out that cheap cables also will cost you some power (voltage drop) on top of what the device needs.

The lights are on... but nobody is home big_smile.



finisher is in the OEM folder. (you really couldn't find it on your own???)

ROFL!!!! too funny big_smile

These files must exist on your ODD (CD or DVD) in the I386 folder

except the finisher.

running Nlite after DriverPacks, for anything except creating the ISO, will break the process.

I leave Nlite open and running at the create ISO screen while I add DriverPacks. big_smile

Type "path" to see the current path. make sure system32 is in the path?

STand Alone Drivers 2 also supports NT6 - IE Vista and Win 7

It will not work any better for your situation... it is the same tool.
It just also supports the newer OS's.
