We don't use drivers from Station drivers they Leak drivers pre-release. We consider them betas since they are not officially released yet. Piracy might be another way of looking at it wink. We do like station drivers and keep an eye on them but we don't incorperate any of thier stuff in the DriverPacks. Since they are not officialy released... yet. sometimes you may find a station driver in a nightly but NEVER in a final release from us.

If you can't download it directly from Intel we won't add it big_smile! But we do like to be aware of whats next so as I said we do keep and eye on them...

Thanks for reporting! 


We don't need instructions on how to install drivers we have been doing it longer and better than anyone for over six years wink.
Silly boy.

RogueSpear has converted to linux and has abandoned windows, he keeps his forum open as a courtesy but no longer actively  contributes to the community, I don't expect you to get any help on that one wink.


Yes. If AHCI compatable drivers are added with DriverPacks then windows will boot from them.

Many of the drivers already included in the DriverPacks are AHCI compliant AND work just fine now. big_smile tongue


Some of the AHCI issues have to do with load order...
IE the HWID is the same for both modes but the non AHCI driver is listed first. First come first serve wink. Sometimes changing the order of the drivers in the mass ini is all that is required big_smile. Other times we can change the HWIDs listed in the mass ini.



There is no possable way to tell how to fix your issue UNLESS you provide the HWIDs of the offending machine. or at least the HWIDs of the mass storage controller smile. Please provide the full output of the RAID section of the HWIDs tool, and indicate which controller you are connected to if there is more than one. (How long have you been here wink tongue smile lol.)



There is also another known issue, mostly with Nvidia chipsets.
I could probably get a few more drivers to work if I were to mod a few windows files (some registry entries added to the hal) the instructions are on here - posted by both cdob and Galapo. The short story is: The ONLY drivers that do not work are PnP only mode drivers, (has nothing at all to do with AHCI mode, although an affected driver could be an AHCI mode driver) they simply don't support legacy mode (IE text mode). If they don't support text mode then you can't find them from text mode setup. This is a problem with the driver not the integration of the driver. An easy way to tell is to search the drivers inf for "Parameters\PnpInterface,5,REG_DWORD,1", if it contains that line then the following will / may be helpful.

Search the forum for "value = Parameters\PnpInterface,5,REG_DWORD,1"

here is a good example --> http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic. … 158#p32158

Notice they modify the setupreg.hiv in that example with regedit...
That would be an acceptable fix IF I had proof of concept wink.
It would be better if they just had working f6 drivers for us to add wink

As Far As I Know there are only one or two of these drivers (It is a very rare case) At least one of them Is Nvidia chipset.

I have been waiting for some time for this problem to show itself to be a real problem, but it does not.
IE a list of affected drivers, and proof that the registry entry does fix it, and whether or not it also affects Win 2k3.

PS if you find working F6 drivers for failed installs simply request them with the HWIDs of the device we will gladly add them wink
We always add tested known good drivers from OEM or Manufacturer sites... (station drivers does not count)

Those txt files should actually not be in a final release...

changlogs, notes and other non driver content is allowed in nightlies, but should never be in a final.

- for all finals the changelog is / always has been posted on the main site if anyone wishes to see it.
   They should be removed from the pack once it is released, and that info is then posted / available on the main site wink.

Try the latest nightly and see how that works...

MassStorage 10.01.25

Q) Can you update your driver pack?
A) Can you try a more recent pack?

Q) So it seems like a good thing to update...
A) So It will seem like a good thing to be polite too, read on...

Please, thank you, that kind of stuff...
mention how helpful the packs have been to you in the past.
Ask nicely rather than being demanding or insistent  etc...
Provide the info requested in Read BEFORE you post. Rule #0 from the screen you were presented when you signed up and agreed to our rules! big_smile.

Providing a link to the tested known good driver was noted and is appreciated big_smile, But without the HWID it was tested on and known good / to support the link is totally worthless.

Please note that requesting a driver is ALWAYS ignored of you do not supply a HWID with your request. Read the Rules and Guidelines especially #0 'Read BEFORE you post' Linked in my signature. (note that none of the required info was supplied). Be nice and respectful. (IE don't tell us how to add a driver) We don't need to be told how or why to add drivers we have been doing this over six years. I'm sure no one here asked for your opinion, so keep it to yourself. Especially if you can't follow the rules and guidelines. Please also review How To Ask Questions The Smart Way / General Forum Etiquette
- So, if you would prefer not to hear my opinion... wink

The DriverPack MassStorage has been updated a few dozen times.
You're just not on the testing team and with that condescending attitude and your inability to provide even basic required / requested info you never will be wink


Looking forward to helping you.
Let us know if the nightly takes care of your issue(s), and especially if it does not, and perhaps it will become a final release.

Have a great day!

Quote tags upgraded to Code tags wink

In PE your device name will be different, that is normal...
there is just not enough support in PE to get highlevel drivers installed correctly
lots of missing registry entries and plugins are required, even then it is hit and miss.

First try an install without your third party driverpack...

You may find you don't need it at all wink

In fact you may be creating conflicts by duplicating drivers that are already in the main packs

If you find something is missing then only add that driver to your 3rd party DriverPack. and report the missing driver in the correct forum here.

LOL - a post containing only grateful content... Thud... I fell out of my chair wink.

Um... even though those packs are provided by the main team they must be put in the 3rd party DriverPack folder.
From the the perspective of DriverPacks BASE they are 3rd party DriverPack. To us humans they are not since they are provided by our team (really just mr_smartepants).

I added them to the site / main download page because with our new site setup I can. Woo Hoo!

PS Wim fixed the update checker / site issue this morning... this issue should now be solved!!!!

Have a great day!

no because the answer is already posted...

if you used a source that has mass storage text mode integrated then oyou don't need to do anything else to add mass storage support wink

just create a SAD folder and run DP_Install_Tool.cmd when you deploy to add the rest of your drivers...

if you have not used a DriverPacks slipstreamed source then use offline sysprep to add support after the fact... pretty simple.

Details are all here in this thread... what is missing can be had at 911.

NEVER EVER - I REPEAT EVER - Use MakePNF -  NEVER EVER!

FOR ANY REASON... NEVER NEVER NEVER USE makePNF...

I have Said this a THOUSAND times... big_smile. 

I am not a sysprep guru you wll have to checkout Galapos info - I think his main site / forum is over at 911...
I am pretty sure you do not have to do bsmd with offline sysprep  don't quote me.... wink

PS DON'T EVER USE MakePNF big_smile.

make pnf makes copies of infs, these copies are NOT SIGNED and WILL NOT be used by windows.
This doubles the number of INFs windows must process to match a driver to a device and 50%  of them are useless wink.

All of the pnf's are useless as they are unsigned and will always be passed over for their original INF they were copied from. the pnf system does not work and never did.

That is an excellent question.  'Where did you get that?'

I just checked an you are NOT on the testing team... So where did you get that? rofl.
Not from here http://driverpacks.net/downloads smile roll
You are a cheater and a sneak wink LOL

That is Bâshrat the Sneaky's idea of a joke! for people who are using our test packs... smile
he did that over five years ago and i have never changed it... I also think it is amusing.


--- Those messages are supposed to come up when you are using our test versions what we call nightlies. (beta versions)

I believe we already explained this issues cause / resolution / timeframe and workaround : http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic. … 136#p36136

Wim AKA Bâshrat the Sneaky is still working / in progress on the new site... Would you like me to explain that more slowly wink smile tongue

HERE IT IS IN BIG PRINT - THERE ARE NO UPDATES! YOU HAVE THE LATEST VERSIONS. Any questions?
---((( There is NOTHING I CAN DO about this. Wim is in the middle of his final exams and will not have time to address this issue any time soon!)))---

THANK YOU FOR REPORTING IT!... AGAIN... How much did you guys say you donated...? free work takes a back seat to exams and paying jobs, and kids, and dinner, and my nap wink.

I added Muiz's Vista / Win7 driverpacks to the site for the first time last week and exposed a bug...
I don't have root access to the site... There is nothing I can do about it...
So I (we) have to wait for Wim to have free time to fix the bug. OK? I have to suffer through it just like you do!
As a matter of fact I got my @$$ reamed for trying to implement / come up with a work around...
And those donations which are few, small and far between don't go into my paypal acct. We hve about as manyof thse as we have people volunteering to help update the packs... about one a year. Consider that we have over a million downloads a week and do the math = About one in fifty million people ever wants to do anything but complain about an Awesome / Free product.  I dare any of you to find a post that only contains positive / grateful content. You will be hard pressed to find more than one that even contains it wink. "If you're not part of the solution..."

We are aware of the issue... obviously. You found this report.
(@MooreMN and others reading this... Thanks for searching... that makes you brighter than 90% of our first time posters - Duely noted big_smile!)
