OK confusion is eliminated. You are definitely not pushing an image. You are NOT imaging at all.

You are NOT imaging the boxes.

You are doing a normal INSTALL.

We can fix this now that we know what is going on. your misuse of terminology has made this much harder than needed. Now we are all on the same page.

Since you are doing a standard install and not imaging we can support you and i am sure a fix will be presented in short order. big_smile

Thanks mr_smartepants. What a stroke of luck you have his hardware!

aaaaahhhhhgggg! wink

As I said KTD has a place in fact it ultimately works PERFECT IF you use it for what it is designed for... It is there to intstall simple external devices like Modems, Monitors, and Printers. Devices that will be attached after the installation. It is there to serve it's purpose. Tools can be used properly or they can be used improperly. It is not the tools fault if it is not used correctly. That is user error. Just because you need a screwdriver this time does not mean you should set all your other tools out for the trash.

I already explained in detail exactly why it is there in my last post, please see the third paragraph... sad But I have posted it again here. Perhaps this time you will read it.

If you are "installing" from an ODD then the issue can and will be corrected in the DriverPack.
mr_smartepants will likely show up with a test pack for you.

Push installs are not supported... We do have a large following of users who install this way, however they mostly support themselfs. If you are not doing push installs then you should NOT post in the universal imaging forum. You clearly said you were doing so... and was the only info you gave regarding your deployment method.

Again our help is only as good as the info you provide to us... you said you were doing push installs, If that was not correct info. GIGO. (Garbage In Garbage Out) this is exactly why we provide "Read before you post" this clearly falls under #6 "Tell us what you did - Could we try to reproduce your issue ourselves just based on your first post?" here we are at post 5 and we are nearly to the point were we could try to reproduce your issue ourselves. big_smile

if you are doing ODD "installs" then your issue is supported and will be corrected. if you are "deploying an image" from an ODD then you need to provide good DETAILS in the Universal imaging forum.

At this point it is not clear if you are installing from an ODD or deploying an image from an ODD. there is a huge difference between the two install methods.

Details are the key and getting them from you has been like pulling teeth. that is not our fault. You using tools correctly or not is also not our fault. You came here to get help and we are doing our best to do so. That is why i told you that you were not using KTD as it was intended. In fact in 999 out of 1000 situations it is not needed at all, however that one in a thousand is signifigant and makes it worth keeping, especially since we have hundreds of thousands of users if not millions. that means there are thousands of users who do in fact need it, the odds you are one of them are slim, as I said. In fact based on what you have told us... which is almost nothing... you probably don't need it at all. However just because YOU don't need it does not mean we should stop what we are doing and remove it from the program ... We did not make DriverPacks BASE as a custom app just for you. Trust me you are far from being our only user. Stop the presses! JuggalotusHeat does not need that lets rewrite the whole project!


You are still giving conflicting info. are you installing windows from an ODD or are you deploying an image from an ODD? what program did you use to take the image? did you create the image in a virtual machine or on live hardware? do you sysprep before imaging? what steps to you take to prep your image? how do you deal with the HAL? are the DriverPacks included in the KTD folder of your image? do you use DPINST?

based on your ability to post for help and based on the research you have done to use BASE and your selection of nLite i seriously doubt that you do know how to image a box properly. In fact i would bet money that you don't.

get your act together and we WILL help you. it's up to you.
No one can help you if you can't provide proper (complete) details the problem.

Thanks

There is almost no reason in the world to use KTD... Why are you under the impression you need to do this.

And KTD "All" will NEVER work. many drivers require the DriverPacks Finisher to run and it will only run during windows installation.

KTD is for adding a few 3rd party DriverPack to cover things that might be added to a machine after it is delivered IE a MODEM a monitor or a printer, it is for adding simple external devices AFTER the machine is installed. It was never designed to reenumerate a machine, and it will fail miserably if you attempt to do so. Kinda like using a sledge hammer to loosen a screw.

I notice now that you say you are pushing an image? YOU CAN NOT use KTD for this... Please read the "universal Imaging" forum here for more info on how to Image a PC properly.

short version Use Galepos OffLine sysprep to add mass, chipset and LAN then use SAD (DriverPacks Stand Alone Drivers solution / platform) to post install the drivers. Do not use the DriverPacks "Disc" platform if you are NOT installing from a disc. It ROCKS if you use it as intended, installing from an ODD. (who would have guessed that wink) you must use the correct tool for the job, or fail.

PS Never use nLite... I know it is quick and easy and lot's of people do it BUT,
1) it is really awful for your source
2) It is stated by it's author NOT to be used in a commercial environment, this is written in it's license. Put another way you are specifically forbidden from using it at work.

nLite is good for a home user who has little or no exerience and is only loading a single home PC. Beyond that it serves no useful purpose. It is also abandonware.

C U in the universal imaging forum!

pasted the info into your post for ya... Thanks!

We should be able to arrive at the issue now...

Please read "Read BEFORE you post" linked in my signature.

It was also presented to you when you signed up as rule #0 with bold print that says "Be absolutely sure you read that BEFORE you post."

It gives you all the info you need to provide us the minimum amount info we need to support you.

Help us to help you. (Read BEFORE you post #5)
Your post above does not provide a single useful piece of info. Not even the basics.
We don't even know what OS you are referring to. we support 2k, XP, 2k3, Vista and Win7
HWIDs are mandatory!
HOW do you use DriverPacks? What is the process you follow. (Read BEFORE you post #6)
what version #s? (Read BEFORE you post #4)

We will be glad to help, but you need to provide ALL the listed info in "Read BEFORE you post" It's called that for a reason tongue. (Why do people think that rules only apply to others? wink)

Welcome to DriverPacks.net

Only .7z you will need to get 7zip.


@mr_smartepants - Sorry I did not follow what you were saying either.

i think by original he means the official release

Yes decompress replace recompress... and name new archive with a higher number at the end of the name.

look at bottom right corner of page.

Spam again and be banned.

Our Torrents can be verified by checking the MD5 checksums provided on our website... they are verifiable as our original work.

We had direct downloads at one time they were donated by generous CDN providers. They decided that the ROI on us was not good enough (no conversion). We routinely use about 10~20 Gigabytes a month of bandwith. Users are greedy they want to download the packs for free but are unwilling to donate or to purchase services from our sponsors. the bandwith we use would cost over $1000.00 USD a month. That a lot more money per month than we recieve in donations in a years time.  No "free" service allows that much bandwith for free... check it out for yourself. they all will pull the links when you exceed a predefined data limit, or charge you.

Torrents are the only way we can deliver hundreds of thousands of downloads per month for free. Unless you want to buy our bandwith.

Have you tried to build your BartPE with the DriverPack LAN plugin?

if so what DriverPacks BASE version and Lan version. If the LAN plugin fails then post the HWIDs please.

Please read "Read BEFORE you post" linked in my signature. This will outline a proper request for support post.

if you have not added the BartPE Plugin then there is a Tutorial link in my sig for BartPE plugins.
(it says only mass is supported but the tutorial is older... LAN IS now supported... the instructions otherwise are quite valid)

there is also a link to the HWID's tool to obtain the HWIDs of the NIC.

Looking forward to assisting you.

Welcome to DriverPacks.net


PS posted in the wrong forum (LAN) moving to BartPE forum...

have the new VB and have now installed it on my x64 gaming system too... neither machine will run win8. but at least the x64 version / machine gets o the desktop before crashing.

i have always used VMW so the VB settings are stock / recomended (default win8 settings).

Not really happy with it so far tongue (yes the hashes match on my downloads)


Secure Boot... what a bunch of crap...

Anybody remember the DMRM the they put in vista when it first came out... and then they removed it with SP1?

one step forward two steps back... 
just keep banging your head against the wall MS perhaps you will sever your frontal lobe altogether.

That is a good solution... Looks like i need to work on a NT6 app that is a combination of SAD and DriverPacks Finisher

We are using Matrox for multi-screen digital signage players with many screens... We use them for many customers, and currently I just include the driver in addition to the driverpacks downloaded here... That works fine for me, and often we need more current gfx-drivers than included in DP anyways.

But I was under the impression that the goal of this project was to supply drivers for ALL hardware:-) (judging from the sound-DP, there are many rare products supported)

Agreed, all drivers included is our goal...

If you find outdated or not included drivers then report them... that is how they get added wink.
Be sure to include the HWIDs of the device(s) and a link to the updated driver (on an OEM site).

mr_smartepants Just said the issue was no testers available... R U willing to test and report?

i have not been able to install this in a vmware or a VirtualBox on my x86 machine

DO NOT sliptream drivers to your source that you use for BartPE... this will corrupt your source (for use with BartPE anyway). Only add drivers to PE with PEBuilder (as plugins (like the DriverPacks plugin) or in the driver folder (manually))

YOU CAN'T add Chipset to BartPE... It is not supported at this time. the HWPnP plugin (which enables advanced drivers for PE) does not support Sound or Chipset, and is why those DriverPacks are disabled for PE.

DO add the driver manually.

how>?

http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/help/english/drivers.htm

I would put it in the Your-Path-To-Your-PE-Files\drivers\SCSIAdapter\Your-drivers-folder-name-here\USB 3 Driver Files here
IE
C:\Bartpe\drivers\SCSIAdapter\USB3\driver.inf
C:\Bartpe\drivers\SCSIAdapter\USB3\driver.sys
etc...

build and test...

Yes SAD or SADII can be run from windows at anytime.

you could use startup folder... but then you would have to remove it somehow. RunOnce or RunOnceEx makes more sense, but it does not matter at all

you could even run it manually of the install disc or from a thumbdrive whatever suits you. 

We are not real sticklers for OT convo, as long as it is DriverPacks related. Search function does not discriminate big_smile.

VERY HELPFUL cdob, as always.

thanks a million, again.

I built it and have it included in the head revision (my local). I am working on the CDOB PnP fix and hope to get that out soon. Would be nice to get some feedback on the alpha on the team forum... I can only assume no news is good news big_smile.

Thanks abdou for reminder would you start thread if feedback support BASE (this forum)....
this issue has been resolved i just need to make sure i get it in the next release...

XP SP3 is and always has been stable and reliable.

The only issue there ever was with sp3 was related to the Media Center Edition of XP the ISO you point to above is not MCE.

don't bother with a SP2 image it is a waste of your time (unless you intend to have a MCE disc)

they are talking about the SP3 download... yes you need the Admin or Network version (about 300mb) not the 1MB local installer that downloads the files of the internet on the fly.

I believe he intends to do an entirely new video.

The question i pose to you is why do you wish to extract them all?
