Yes, not every device had its driver from the DP repository when the install was completed from the XP unattended disk. There was 1 sound that I had to go back and install the driver for, and a couple of video devices that weren’t picked up either, no biggie. I was just extremely ecstatic the ich7 issue was finally resolved and there was no more continuous loop reboot at the NT Loader Phase of XP when the unattended was finished with these models of Dell’s that we have, which we have a lot of with the ich7. So now I am able to start using the disk again for builds with these workstations. If I had a few device drivers missing it is the least of my worries even if I had to go back and grab a couple of drivers from Dell and do a little work on my end. Also, once I seen the setuperr log was clean and empty with no issues during XP setup. I’d figure I would be nit-picking you guys over driver misses and I am just not much of a complainer. I know you guys will eventually get the DP’s updated with these drivers here and there and don’t need us posting over ever little thing. I certainly don’t want to piss-off the hand that is feeding us users of the great product you guys produce.

Now, if you need me to inform you of ever little missed driver, no problem and I can do that. To me I’d would just post when I have a serious problem, like the one with the DP chipset with the ich7 issue and XP not finishing a successful boot upon setup.

I will build another disk this time using M1 using QSC, no problem. If it helps you guys out to continue to develop and I will let you know a very detailed report of what it missed with each one. I will post my detailed report in about a week.

jtdoom,

Okay, I can confirm the following models from Dell that work like a charm with no issues that you can strike off the list, but I used M2 when building my unattended XP disk with DriverPacks integrated. Let me know if you need me to build a new unattended XP disk with the DriverPacks using M1 and I will do this list again with that test. Anyway, here are the models I tested...

Dell Dimension 5100 Desktop
Dell Dimension 5150 Desktop
Dell Dimension 9100 Desktop
Dell Dimension 9150 Desktop
Dell OptiPlex GX 520 Desktop
Dell OptiPlex GX 620 Desktop
Dell OptiPlex GX 740 Desktop
Dell Precision 390 Desktop
Dell Precision 490 Desktop
Dell Latitude D420 Laptop
Dell Latitude D520 Laptop
Dell Latitude D620 Laptop

We don't carry any Dell Inspiron Laptops to test since they are not business class or any of the newer Latitudes just yet, maybe in another 3 months we will get those in but for now this is all I can do. Let me know if there is anything else I can do or test to assist in.

Once again, I would like to thank the DP team for all of their hard work on this project. It makes my life a lot easier.

I will build a new unattended XP today with the latest updated driverpacks and let you know if this NOT FIXABLE thread can be something of the past well at least for me anyway, don't know about others and can’t speak for them. I have access to just about every Dell that is made. The Dell Dimension 5000 series and up and Dell OptiPlex GX5, GX6 and GX7 series and up, were the ones I have issues with and needed to use DP Chipset v6.05 for success. Once built and tested on each box, I will post my finding with either success or failure of each one. If the hwids are needed from each one with the posting, please let me know or I will leave them out. I'll get back to you guys hopefully by the end of the week with my findings.

Thank you for your hard work DP Team.

Does anyone think this new chipset driver release from Intel v8.3 will correct the issues with so many that are having with v8.0 that is a part of DP Chipset v7.04 or is it using v8.3 from Intel also in the latest Chipset DP? Or is the v8.3 release from Intel just modified by adding support for newer motherboards and the older chipset drivers are just carried over as part of the v8.3 package?

Quick question, is NOT FIXABLE the same as CLOSED or RESOLVED? Meaning, it is never going anywhere? The solution is to use the out dated driverpack chipset? I have a Dell OptiPlex GX620. I am experiencing the exact same issue as described in this thread. Also, this issue appears with Dell 5100 & 5150 Dimension series also. I am hoping this trend does not continue as the series number increases with the Dell branded Dimension and OptiPlex GX boxes.
