Hmmm no.

A client buys 10 new laptops, I image 1 to test driver installation. Maybe a couple of drivers are missing. I download them and add them to my WDS server, then the next imaging session installs them as expected.

To stop this task of manually downloading them, I just wanted to add a tonne of drivers in one go.

I'm just concerned that doing this will break something :-/

Hi all,

I hope this is in the correct section.

I am looking to download the latest release of driver packs and inject all of them into a WDS server. Too many times recently I am imaging new laptops/Desktops, and tonnes of drivers are missing, requiring me to find them manually. I thought doing it the driverpacks way would save a lot of time.

My questions: Has anyone done this before, is it possible, is there a better method?

Many thanks.

Rob

Hi  all, I hope I'm posting this in the right place!

I have a universal XP image that I am trying to deveop.

Unfortunately, when I come to a machine with an AHCI device, my image runs through, sysprep does it's work but Windows then fails to load (hangs on load screen)

The HWIDs of my 'test' laptop are as follows, along with a few lines   I added to my mass storage section of sysprep.

Various lines I have tried adding to my sysprep mass storage sectionn:

I would greatly appreciate some help!

Ouch, DL may take some time smile

Thank you sir

Thanks again for your time and support smile

No problem at all, thanks for helping me.

Will the next release take some time?

For time being, can I easily add the driver that I downloaded from dell into the pack?

I have no idea. Just tried Dell driver again and that worked...

DriverPack Sound B D\S\I14\STHDA.INF is the closest match.  But still not a direct match.  An .inf edit is required.
Change line 63 (first of the HWIDs) from

%ST.DeviceDesc%=STHDA,HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7690&SUBSYS_102801B5
to
%ST.DeviceDesc%=STHDA,HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7690&SUBSYS_102801C5

Please report back success/failure so I know whether to make the change in the pack.

Hi,

I made the change, unfortunately when I tried to install, I recieved a copy error.

FYI: Setup cannot copy the file staco.dll

Rob

When I try to install from D\S\I8 I recieve a 'files needed' prompt.

The file 'sthda.sys' on SigmaTel High Definition Audio WDM Driver Disk is needed

You're correct, it doesn't work. Do I have another option?

Sorry if I am spamming here - Just to let you know, the Sigmatel driver from the Dell website works.

Am I able to inject this driver manually? If so, would it be possible to provide me with some guidance please?

Rob

I think you are right, it isnt an IDT device.

I tried to install the driver from Dell - Wrong driver... Possibly sigmatel?

Hmmm, I just tried from sound b d/s/i Returned the following:

IDT High Definition Audio Codec

An error occurred during the installaiton of the device

A device attached to the system is not functioning

I assume this is indicating a hardware fault? Or am I wrong?

thanks for your help

I used sound a and b, can try manually?

Is that what you are looking for sir?

The link to eHWIDs.exe didn't work....

That's interesting, when I typed the PCs service tag into Dell's website, they confirm it is an IDT and offer the driver for download. I will post HWID shortly, just waiting for Windows install to finish

sure, it's a Dell Optiplex 210L. It's formatting atm, but service tag is 8nqgb2j if that helps?

If it's not too much trouble, is it easy for me to manually add the driver that I have downloaded from Dell?

Donated guys - thanks for the software smile

Hi all, my first post here.

I have just built a universal XP image using your fabulous software, I will donate shortly as it is most definately a handy bit of kit you guys have created.

The only driver missing in my case was audio driver/device: IDT 92HD71B

Is it possible for me to download the driver myself and paste copy into the C:\D directory? Would driverpacks utilize the driver if I did this manually?

I did download the latest XP driver packs, unfortuantely, didn't seem to be included.

Many thanks,

Rob
