as for vista, I can easily put Vista on one of the machines here, to use it as host..
The repaired machine runs tests anytime I want (using racks and external connections is quite useful... and I do have a pass-throught sata backplate..)

hi
the DriverPacks finisher log is to be found in the machine where the driver fails to install
and it should be in the windows folder.
(it is not a hidden file, but windows will pop up a warning when you open the windows folder.)
look for DPsFnshr.log

your base slipstream log, that is on the machine you slipstreamed the source on.
DPS_base.log
you should post that too..
please use code tags

hehe
going from 7.01 to 7.01.1 you got you a version with silicon image driver that was working.
During testing, we killed a motherboard.
We was trying to figure out what exactly crashed this particular one. Some firmware versions of this chip will simply not behave well, while another version works.
The mobo has been repaired by now..

Bâshrat the Sneaky HWID tool cannot tell what firmware version the chip has.
But, during power up, you can see version, and I think you can do us a favour by posting that info.

Hi Jimmsta,
every contribution helps.

Most testers here are enthusiasts, and spend money on materials to run the tests.
Bâshrat the Sneaky and the teams can use help to get some hard needed materials and licences.
I just saw that one goal was met, which should not stop people from donating so as to really get this slipstreamed.

hmmm, it has been a while I did a KTD test run.
Today I should find the time, and when I do, I'll let you know.

KTD, sure takes a while,
to describe a while... that is several minutes.. on a fast machine, and over 15 minutes on a slow one.

Update
Just a few minutes ago, the mobo finished a simple setup, a burn-in setup as it were..
It looks good as new.
I am real glad to have it back online.
I'll have to fix the other drives back into the case.

hi again

if you still have the old sound addon, that might help.
Else, above may have your solution..

btw,  I put my glasses on, and now I saw the yellow splat..
sorry.

hi

far as I can see, the drive is not initialised in windows, but it is recognised.
And the unallocated size is correct too .
This would be abnormal if the drive is already been formatted is this exact same configuration, I guess, but if this is a new drive, I think it is just normal that you have to initialise the disk in disk management.

the sound issue.
I have to look up wether Ryan pack for English versions has the sound addon.

for the Dutch; there has been a confusing issue when this was in Meulc's and then this got removed out of Meulc's pack, and Meulc did this because DpsBase would unslipstream it/then put it back in... so the thought was to leave it out, and then Bâshrat the Sneaky thought it was not smart to unslipstream/put in something that was in... with a result that we've seen a few where the sound addon was not incorporated at all..

what now, if RVM english does it too? If the sound addon is not in, and DPsBase does not put it in, then this would be what you got.
Which RVM pack do you use? I still have the sound addon from a few months ago..

Hi toolman,
could you please post the finisher log?

I've no idea wether Ruudboek or muiz have this old driverpack. (I haven't got a copy.)..
a link to the asus supplied floppy for your motherboard could be handy.

Hi,
YES, donators are able to see more subforums.
And yes, the beta testing forum is one of these.

btw, thanks for the donation.. Bâshrat the Sneaky forwarded the money, and the motherboard is shipped out for repair.

Today, I decided I'd really like to see a better site, and chipped-in for the hosting cost.
Corporate users should contact Bâshrat the Sneaky, so he can arrange forms the corporation uses for accountancy purposes.

Kees030?
most people do not need ALL driverpacks.
I seldom include graphics C, for instance...

deleting LANG folder, is not the way to go?
NLite can remove a lot of languages and keyboards, but I still find files in that folder afterwards, so I leave it...

well, FAIK, if one donates to DriverPacks, one can do it in euro to euro, in which paypal will still do a conversion to British Pounds...and back to Euro. They do have to make some money, so they always do the conversion, and US residents will pay US$ to Pounds, to Euro, which will eat about 5 percent..

hi

I thought that by enabling legacy USB keyb/mouse in BIOS, it would allow the use of these..

I am not 100 percent sure it will, because I've always plugged USB Keyboards and mice into the PS2 ports using the adaptors that come with these devices.
You see, I think that wasting USB ports on THAT is .. a waste of ports..

hi
with a method 2 slipped source, the files in oem/bin are used during setup.
This is what Bâshrat the Sneaky is saying, if you want to use method 2, you would have have to manually edit some scripting files..
Bâshrat the Sneaky also advises to use autoimage. This could take a lot of work out of your hands..

I hope this is what you want

this has been asked before, and I wrote this about doing drivers on CD.

Suppose you have a testrig in which you regularly change devices for you have to see wether they still work.
it runs XP which you do not want to reload.
it would be nice to have a large collection of devicedrivers ready on the drive.
Well, one can do something quite interesting.

what does one need...
1; one or two little cmd files one creates for oneself
2; a source you slipped with base, using method 2 (the source will then contains the files.)
3; 7zip.. (for the doPNF.cmd method.)

and then... how it works
copy the OEM folder from the slipstreamed source to a CDRW
create a little batchfile (or create both) and copy that to that CDRW
--------

Dopath.cmd works very simple
It extracts the files from the slipstreamed CDRW or DVDRW into a folder in windows.
devpath then tells windows the files are there, ready to be searched when hardware is added.
You have to hit "use anyway" when you run hardware wizard and it turns out the driver is not WHQL signed.

doPATH.CMD

SET TAGFILE=\OEM
FOR %%i IN (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y) DO IF EXIST "%%i:%TAGFILE%" SET CDDRIVE=%%i:
%CDDRIVE%\OEM\BIN\7z.exe x -y -aoa %CDDRIVE%\OEM\DP*.7z -o"%SystemRoot%\DriverPacks"
%CDDRIVE%\OEM\BIN\DevPath.exe %SystemRoot%\DriverPacks
exit

-----------

This other method takes longer to apply because makePNF installs the drivers into the windows INF section.
To make that possible, you have to extract a few files with 7zip
(makePNF.exe and DSPdsblr.exe are packed in DPsFnshr.7z)
Unpack the content to a temp folder, then copy to root of the CDR or DVDRW you'll burn.

doPNF.CMD

SET TAGFILE=\DSPdsblr.exe
FOR %%i IN (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y) DO IF EXIST "%%i:%TAGFILE%" SET CDDRIVE=%%i:
 
%CDDRIVE%\OEM\BIN\7z.exe x -y -aoa %CDDRIVE%\OEM\DP*.7z -o"%SystemRoot%\DriverPacks"
start %CDDRIVE%\DSPdsblr.exe
%CDDRIVE%\makePNF.exe %SystemRoot%\DriverPacks
taskkill /f /im DSPdsblr.exe
 
%CDDRIVE%\OEM\BIN\DevPath.exe %SystemRoot%\DriverPacks
exit

-----------

note, if you simply un7zip all the driverpacks and third party packs, you need a DVD.
it would be searchable...

when they are packed, you can do above on a CD

Hi there,
Clould sombody tell me what I am doing wrong as I have followed the links to downlad DriverPacks BASE 7.01.2 from both the Bâshrat the Sneaky first post here and from http://driverpacks.net/ and no download. I end up with a page that seems to require me to login but there is nowhere for me to sign up for a user name and password. Since I have downloaded all of the other driver packs and the post here makes it clear that this is the only version of Base that will work with what I have, then it would help if I can get it.

Hi
downloading from main page works here.. yesterday there were some DNS trouble.
you could also clear your own DNS cache
To clear your DNS cache in Windows XP, at the command prompt enter:

  ipconfig /flushdns

Hi
yes, you can still use NLite for making the ISO.

Copy a fresh source..
Run DPsBase to slipstream drivers AFTER you did Nlite for slimming it down and creating winnt.sif..
And then you can use Nlite to make the ISO.

hi Muiz3

I'll read some more logs, they have an other sequence than those i was used to, it seems

above does begin with an INI file, but the source on location  in ini was deleted or renamed, so it does not find it.
then one sees this.
it also starts with default M2, and this is changed later on..

2007-01-15 18:19:03 : <GUI>  Changed Windows installation files OR export (depending on the installation platform) location to G:\UPDATEDXP noOEM.

Selected module: mod_slip_wxp_x86-32_disc_m1.

Hi

Some more info..
The testers were in a private conversation, so we know what motherboard this is.
I looked up current price for the motherboard Ruud reports about, and was surprised to still find it online..
Saving it is worth the trouble, since it currently costs € 208  ( which is roughly US $ 270 ).

edit, had used wrong Exchange rate sad
