Those are identical to what's already in DriverPack Graphics C \s3e\.
It's possible the subsys_* doesn't match your card.  Can you post your HWIDs?
I can modify the .inf to make it more generic.  We've done it before.

OK, for some reason they're not allowing deep-linking. 
Page is here: http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/topic/ … t-drivers/
Link is first in list.
The two you tested are old.  The one linked above is newer than all, so it's important to know if it works.

I'll see what I can do.  Your HWID is supported by DriverPack Sound B \I10\ but it's missing files listed in the .inf so that would probably explain why it's not working properly.
I've restored the missing files, but I doubt that will fix your issue since they're x64 files.
In the meantime...
Does the driver here work?
And can you also test this driver too?
And one more here please.

Strange, 100815 already has an \A5\ and it's one day newer than the one you added.  Did I forget to upload my version? hmm
Umm, I just checked your version and there is no folder \A5\. (Did you forget something too?)
I'm updating my local copy now, just tell me where you got the Dell drivers and I'll update the first post with my copy.
So far I have:

BTW, the Third Party DriverPacks FTP is up and running again.

It would appear that I didn't learn and did the same mistake as before.  Thanks for reporting.
Delete the shlwapi.dll from the \v\ folder and it will work fine.

If we make concessions that would make a better user experience for some users while minimizing the impact to the majority, I'm all for it.
But I'm hesitant to blindly make those changes without proof.
I'll do a test on my netbook.  The Atom processor is far from speedy.  I'll also do another test on Tuesday on an old machine we still have at work.
I'll report back later.

BTW, the dictionary size is only one part of the equation.  You also have the word-size and solid-block-size.  When I pack my DriverPacks I routinely use 256mb/256mb/4gb settings which seemed optimal for most users.

I tried your script.
For most DriverPacks, there was a minor decrease in compressed size.  Some DriverPacks had an increase in size (mostly packs with large .exe files inside).
Do you have any comparison tests with times to show how much time is saved during decompression?

Can I mark this as "solved"?

Which DriverPack LAN version did you use that didn't work?

You're describing the .xml entries.  We don't use <quietmode/> or <suppresswizard/> at all.  We only use the below as a default.

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
  <dpinst>
    <search>
      <subDirectory>*</subDirectory>
    </search>
   <scanHardware/>
   <legacyMode/>
   <enableNotListedLanguages/>
   <suppressAddRemovePrograms/>
  </dpinst>

And the command to execute dpinst.exe we use is:

Start "MicroSoft Driver Pack Installer Tool Running" /wait /separate /realtime /min CMD /C DPInst.exe /c /s

again, no quiet mode, only silent mode.

Are you saying that the USB 1008 Third Party DriverPack doesn't work?  It has newer drivers (\RE\) that match the HWIDs in the older drivers that you linked to.

Updated first post with 1008b1

I know that the ubcd4win folks recommend XP Pro, but their docs suggest that w2k3 should be compatible.  w2k3 is a lot more strict when it comes to drivers, XP is more lenient.

Can open your UBCD4Win\BartPE\I386\TXTSETUP.SIF file and search for PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C3&CC_0104="iastor4"
then change the iastor4 to read iastor3.
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C3&CC_0104="iastor3"
Then rebuild the .iso and retest.
I'm hoping that someone with more PE experience will stop by and help.

I know its Discontinued but i need it, my local copy was deleted.

Check your email.  I don't want to put it back on the FTP because muiz is supposedly trying to restore the sytes server (and it's files).

Hmmm.  strange.
Can you check your UBCD4Win\BartPE\I386\TXTSETUP.SIF file and search for PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C3&CC_0104="iastor4"
If it's there, then this is very strange, because it should work fine.

Are you receiving any errors?  Or does PE just not see your RAID array?
What are you using for your source?  w2k or  XP?  Pro or Home?  VLK/Retail/OEM?

can you post your \UBCD4Win\plugin\DriverPacks.net\BASE\DPs_BASE.log ?

LOL, why thank you very much! big_smile
Our testing FTP crashed in a flaming heap and we're trying to rebuild it.  In the meantime, we've had to resort to putting our testing packs on mediafire temporarily.
In order to use the DriverPacks in PE, you have to rebuild it using the BartPE plugin to DriverPacks BASE.  Since you were using UBCD4win, I assumed you already knew how to use it.

I have a question.  When I go into the Driverpacks application to do the slip streaming, I choose the bartpe option.  Updates show that I have downloaded the mass storage drivers but when I get to the slip streaming screen, the Mass Storage Drivers option is grayed out and I cannot select it. I DO have the text mode mass storage driver option checked though.  Is this setting loading the drivers?

Yes, that's normal.
