I'm finalizing the code and tweaking some of the display screens. Works great! Added changelog to the code for reference.
I'll upload once completed.

Re: [SLVD] Problem with ICH9M-E/M 11.01 (6 replies, posted in DriverPack Mass Storage)
Glad to hear you figured it out. To be honest, I haven't used a CD-R in over a year. I keep a few CD-RW discs handy but I've moved entirely to DVD-R and USB thumb drives. DVDs are dirt cheap.

Topic: Spring Cleaning (9 replies, posted in News)
Many new DriverPacks were released in the past few weeks. The culmination of fixing numerous bugs reported in the forums and routine updates.
Thank you to everyone who posted bug reports in our forums. You've helped make DriverPacks even better!
As usual, these DriverPacks have passed our testing-team's rigorous testing methods.
Many people have asked the question: "Why are the downloads only torrents now?" or "What happened to the direct downloads?"
Well, the answer is simple:
Greed killed the DriverPacks downloads.
Bit Torrent is now our sole means of distribution. Our donations dropped to a level that would no longer sustain the website AND download demands.
High-speed dedicated download servers are expensive and were the first to go. Then we lost our donated CDN bandwidth. Bit Torrent is now our only option left.
So, if you find DriverPacks useful AND you make money from their use (Enterprise/Commercial use), please strongly consider donating a fraction of your profits to DriverPacks to help sustain the efforts.
Donations have always been voluntary, but money is getting scarce.
As an alternative to donating money, many have volunteered to donate bandwidth by setting up a Bit Torrent Seed Server. More information is at the bottom of this page: http://driverpacks.net/donate
With the fair weather coming over the next few months, development of the DriverPacks will slow down as the team spends more time outdoors with our families and friends.

Re: [SLVD] Problem with ICH9M-E/M 11.01 (6 replies, posted in DriverPack Mass Storage)
OK, just to clarify for me.
Does the BSOD occur BEFORE or AFTER the GUI phase of setup. The GUI phase begins with the "39 minutes remaining..." progress bar on the left side. Also known as T-39, T-38, T-37, T-36...etc.
If the BSOD occurs BEFORE the GUI phase, then the .ini may need to be changed as you indicated. If you get the GUI phase and the progress bar gets to the T-36 stage (driver load) and then BSOD then something squirrelly is going on with the driver.

Re: [SLVD] Problem with ICH9M-E/M 11.01 (6 replies, posted in DriverPack Mass Storage)
Well, how you described your problem (txtmode works, BSOD after GUI first reboot) indicates that the problem is NOT with the .ini. The .ini only tells Windows setup how to find the drives during the initial setup (blue screen, white text, where you select the drive to format/install). Once setup continues into the GUI, the drivers are selected from the %systemdrive%\D\ folder.
Did you also edit the D\M\I8\*.inf file to delete the HWID?

Well, once Intel makes that version of RST final (you're all using test versions) then we'll add it to the DriverPacks...NOT BEFORE.

Re: Chipset vs Mass Storage (10 replies, posted in Other)
No like newsposter said, you need both.
Chipset is THE most important of the DriverPacks. dpms allows for the drives to be "seen" during txtmode. The pair work together.

Re: [IMPL] MassStorage - ASMedia drivers (11 replies, posted in DriverPack Mass Storage)
Hi
the last Driverpack which worked for my ICH7 RAID was 9.01
everything after does not find the harddisk when I boot with the CD. would be no problem if I would not get blue screens on newer Intel controllers with 9.01
So you waited for two YEARS to report this bug? OK, I'll look into it. Thanks for posting your HWIDs.
nvatabus2.sys not found
setup aborts
Already reported and fixed in another RC build.

I'll bet you built your .iso with strict 8.3 filenames. I use relaxed filenames in my own .iso build.
nvatabus2.sys is 9.3
Rename the .ini [n2] section to this:
[N2]

Install uTorrent.
Download the .torrent files for the DriverPacks you want.
Doubleclick the .torrent files, utorrent will start to download them for you.

Re: Chipset vs Mass Storage (10 replies, posted in Other)
Moved to "other".
If you look at the Intel chipset "drivers" you'll notice that there are no .sys files (other than USB), so really there are no "drivers". The signed .inf files only add registry entries so that the system knows what to call all those "unknown device" items in the device manager for the devices in your motherboard. Just because the chipset package can identify your Mass Storage device, doesn't mean it's operating at peak efficiency. That's what the RST drivers do.
Having an imbalance of version numbers isn't a problem in itself.

Re: Chipset vs Mass Storage (10 replies, posted in Other)
I think you're looking too deep into a non-existent problem.
If you have a problem with the RST driver, post your report in the appropriate thread.
If you have no problems with the provided drivers, then ultimately...there is no problem.
