I agree that this does sound like a problem with the drivers.
Please post HWID's for the differing systems.
Also, when was the last time you tested a DPs_BASE integration (using an original source) with the current official DriverPacks?

Re: Problems with Mass Storage Driver for ICH9 (12 replies, posted in DriverPack Mass Storage)
You could try the latest nightly or Release Candidate for now.
[ReleaseCandidate] DP_MassStorage_wnt5_x86-32_1304-1305
They utilize {DriverVer=11/06/2010,10.1.0.1008} for that particular AHCI controller. You will likely find that you need to edit the .Ini as you have previously noted.
The latest non-public (until now) nightly has VirtualBox support built-in via the "Red Hat, Inc. VirtIO SCSI Controller for VirtualBox" aka "viostor", yet it is thusfar untested in such an environment AFIK. That HWID is "PCI\VEN_1AF4&DEV_1001&SUBSYS_00021AF4&REV_00".
Here, give it a go, if you like. Note that i have not built a corresponding "D-P-M-S.iso" from it, nor do i have time to do so. Also, there are other "Virty" bits included in the other two packs, thanks to dekdeck for providing the relevant link.

edit: links removed. updated via link above, etc.
If i understand the intent of Chenall's "D-P-M-S.iso", is that it is meant for NT5 install discs that do not have DriverPacks integrated with DP_BASE. It is also out-of-date with the current nightlies. I have updated it in step with the current RC. You will find it at the bottom of the aforementioned post. Your application of it is intriguing...
One question i would pose concerning VirtualBox, if i may, is what support is there for USB 3.0 controllers?
I know it would be handy for someone such as Damnation for testing NT5 installs from such controllers.
Also, could you please edit the name of this topic to indicate that it concerns a Virtual environment, not real hardware, so that readers are not possibly mislead.
Thank you for joining the forum! Any feedback is appreciated.

Topic: TrackPad PS/2 Interfacing (0 replies, posted in Hardware)
Whilst shopping a few days ago, i stumbled across an old Kensington Webracer.
image from: http://www.streettech.com/archives_hard … Racer.html
It's drivers and applications CD indicated that it was meant for Windows 95 and 98. I purchased it anyway for $10 CDN, considering the fact that many such devices will default to working as a regular mouse.
After arriving home i tested it as such and it worked as expected. It worked like a mouse, yet scrolling, tap-to-click, nor the Web-buttons worked. I avoided trying the included software as i had no confidence on it's ability to work with NT5.
I found Kensington's support site, yet the product was unlisted. I found their ftp and wasted a couple of hours tracking down and testing any relevant MouseWare software. The latest version that i could find that seemed to support that product and NT5 was "MouseWorks-5_61.exe". Contradicting what the name implied, it didn't work. The software could not detect the WebRacer despite the appropriate driver being successfully installed.
I dismantled the troublesome device and discovered a Synaptics T1004-based TrackPad. My enthusiasm was once again buoyed. After a few searches on the "interweb", i stumbled acrosse the following two sites.
http://diy.viktak.com/2012/05/laptop-to … aging.html
http://sparktronics.blogspot.ca/2008/05 … o-ps2.html
It took a couple of hours to isolate the PS/2 cable-end, four main buttons and the TrackPad ribbon connector on the WebRacer's mainboard. Then i used some small hookup wire to complete the connections according to the Synaptics PS/2 Interfacing guide "ACF126.pdf" linked in one of the aforementioned sites. Using my Digital Multimeter, i verified all connections.
Unfortunately, after a couple of test runs it became apparent that it was no longer functional. After double-checking all connections, it became apparent that the two pull-up resistors were missing from the PS/2 Data and Clock lines. I found a pair of suitable resistors and eagerly looked forward to success.
Regrettably that was not the case. Windows did detect it as a standard PS/2 Mouse through a KVM, yet non-functional even with "Synaptics_Driver_v10_1_8_XP32.exe" software installed. It was starting to look like a door-stop. I tried once more by directly plugging it in to PS/2, yet this time Windows wouldn't detect it at all.
After reviewing the literature it would appear that the particular TrackPad model in question, that is the "TM41PDJK134-2", was a custom part and probably has custom firmware included.
I found a few more spare TrackPads and realized that they too were custom parts. They didn't work either.
Failure sucks! Yet as in baseball, one must learn from both one's failures as well as one's successes. Anyone familiar with baseball will know that failure comes far more often than success.
I write this should anyone else attempt this kind of interfacing in the hope that they will succeed where i had failed.

Re: [SLVD] Dell Optiplex 330 XP32b BSOD Latest DriverPacks (6 replies, posted in Feedback and Support - DriverPacks Base)
I don't want to send you on a "wild goose chase".
It is an apt conclusion that removing those 3rd Party packs will solve the issue you have experienced, as mr_smartepants has rightfully stated.
That being said, i can say that the last time that HWID changed was in DP_MassStorage_wnt5_x86-32_1203, if i remember correctly. That should be a good starting point should things not work out as expected. I note that the current RC & Nightly utilizes the same v11.2 driver as DP_MassStorage_wnt5_x86-32_1209 & 1206 at the very least. Testing RAID can offer a "differential diagnosis" of sorts, if and only if path length was not of issue. In addition, i would note that dell offers v7.8 for download for that hardware.
I have learned the hard lesson of second-guessing mr_smartepants' prevous work. That usually involves failure.
I appreciate any input you can deliver concerning any NT5 DriverPack.

Re: [SLVD] Dell Optiplex 330 XP32b BSOD Latest DriverPacks (6 replies, posted in Feedback and Support - DriverPacks Base)
Hello again.
mr_smartepants' conclusion is most likely the correct one.
The webcam, HID & Monitor packs are probably the worst for path length.
If removing the 3rd Party packs doesn't resolve this, i have a couple of questions to ask.
Does RAID work with the Optiplex 330 & DP_MassStorage_wnt5_x86-32_1209.7z ?
I note that you stated that an older pack worked previously. Which older pack worked?
If the problem was simply path length, then please disregard.

GaiaGeek wrote:
"Using the version of Gavotte RAMDisk you mention, I was able to load a RAMDISK using what I believe is RAM between 3GB and 4GB on my system, but without using the ForceEnable option on PAE with bcdedit. Given that PAE is supposed to be for addressing memory above 4GB on 32-bit systems, this does make sense, and since I only have 4GB of RAM, it doesn't make sense to have PAE enabled when it may result in a performance loss. It seems that the only thing required for Gavotte RAMDisk to use the 3GB+ memory is having the UsePAE option enabled in the registry. I tried changing this value to zero (disabled) and after reboot saw a 512MB (as was the setting in RAMDisk) - and noticed about the same amount being deducted from my system's available memory (as would be expected if it wasn't using the RAM above 3GB).
Also, regarding PageFile setings, I think it makes more sense to set a low initial size for the RAMdisk, such as the 16MB minimum, and a maximum size of 1000MB or similar. I think the practice of having a fixed-size paging file stems from trying to avoid fragmentation of the file on the hard disk due to its growth, but since this is a pagefile in RAM, fragmentation shouldn't be really be an issue. This also allows you to use the RAMdisk for other purposes, such as temp file storage."

Re: How can I find out if my Chipset is included in DriverPacks? (1 replies, posted in DriverPack Chipset)
Please start by reading the rules of the forum; specifically, those concerning "ALWAYS include in your post".
That having been said, try one topic up from yours. See the last post. A simple text search through the archives could yield rewards, that is, unless you have integrated Windows Desktop Search.
See the latest DP_MassStorage & DP_BASE too, BTW.
If there is a driver for NT5 for that hardware, it is probably already in either.
If it's in neither, kindly point the way to a functional driver from an OEM/VAR & i'll look to include it.
Intel NT5 USB 3.0 support unfortunately is a no-go, as you probably already know.
Chipset & MassStorage integrated upon a original XP/NT5 disc with DP_BASE, could offer a possibility of installing from a USB 3.0 drive, if you have an AsMedia, Etron, NEC, Renesas, or TexasInstruments USB 3.0 Controller/Hub onboard.
Best of lark to you!
