This is a great idea! I couldn't even begin to say how many times I've ran into a situation where I wanted to do a Repair install, but the "One Mindedness" of my custom disk that I make didn't allow. Just an idea to stick out there... is it possible to have 2 winnt.sif's to be able to do this job, without having to have a 3rd party boot manager to select the appropriate sif? if so, that would be my vote as we could retain full unattended as well as attended repair modes!

Sweet! I'll have to make a weekend project one of these days and try this out. I don't actively use Win98, but I guess it would be handy in the case that one of my user's needs it reinstalled...

I don't know how Helmi feels about it, but normally we don't take rapidshare drivers... do you happen to remember the link to the driver on the Microsoft site?

Re: [REL] DP Modem v8.03.27 (24 replies, posted in 3rd Party DriverPacks)
This modem DP is broken for my Gateway laptop now. A Motorola driver with generic HWIDs got added back in to \D\3\M\M\2\
Line 127:%SM56_MODEM_INSTALL% = SM56_MODEM_INSTALL, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_24C6 ; ICH4
Which matches my Agere modem exactly.
I now get an error during T-13 "Incompatible driver found for modem" or something like that.Commenting out the above entry fixes my problem, but breaks driver signing.
did I mention I hate modems
...who needs signed drivers anyways

Re: Cant Burn CDs (6 replies, posted in Feedback and Support - DriverPacks Base)
Dif. sounds like a build issue (nlite, additional software or something of the sort causing it)... however, I highly doubt it is an issue with the Driverpacks.
I can try to help, but need more info.
Windows XP built in writing uses the IMAPI service... is this service started?
Is there any errors when you try to write a disk using the built in XP method?
What 3rd party burning software is being used? Roxio is known for causing things like this.
Have you tried more than 1 3rd party app (what ones)?
Do all the system's have the same burning software?

Hardware ID is: HDAUDIO\FUNC_02&DEV_3055&SUBSYS_10431316&REV_1007\4&2C2AA05&0&0101
I think the driver you link to is incorrect. This Device is not supported under the given driver.
however, the correct one should be the correct ASUS Driver v6.11.06
6.12.07 is available from directly from Motorola and does include your HWID. I will pack a new Modem Pack with the newest Motorola drivers for you to test

Re: [REL] DP Modem v8.03.27 (24 replies, posted in 3rd Party DriverPacks)
I will take a look later to see what I can do, I haven't really dabbled much in merging INF's, however this driver is newer than the existing Motorola driver and is missing many of the old ones.

Re: Nlite 1.4.5 and latest driver pack not getting textmode SATA (4 replies, posted in Feedback and Support - DriverPacks Base)
Thanks for the info. I tried it using DPBase and have determined that this installation method is a pain in the ass. I really don't want a separate installation to occur while installing windows. That kind of defeats the purpose of an unattended install. Thanks anyway.
I guess I don't catch what you are saying, The DPBase is a simple process that will unattendedly extract drivers (Method 2) so that they are available before the windows setup starts GUI mode or compress all of the drivers and copy them to the system drive (Method 1) ... again all before windows starts GUI mode setup.
Slipstream your XP source with nLite and any addons, download and install DPBase, download the desired driverpacks, launch DPBase select the Directory for the source of the XP install disk you are making, check what DriverPacks you want... click slipstream and wait... then burn the source to a disk.
The actual windows setup is still completely unattended, as long as you have setup options within nLite correctly.

Re: Drivers do not work still?! (17 replies, posted in Software)
in Nlite you need to uncheck the drivers option and it will work
As I said above
Anyways... make sure you are Integrating the Driver Packs with DPBase AFTER Nlite!
Also, if there any main system devices that are not found on the current packs please let us know, otherwise if it is a non-critical component (ex: modem, webcam, etc.) check out the 3rd Party Driver Packs Thread on this Forum for those driver packs.
...and BTW, Welcome to driverpacks!

Re: Drivers do not work still?! (17 replies, posted in Software)
Oh and when i did install it on an xp laptop the drivers did not show up forgot to mention that
thanks,
Chetta
What drivers exactly didn't install?
Also, you don't need the Drivers option in nLite if you are going to use the driver packs. When you slip the drivers in with DP Base, make sure you don't have the finisher method set to custom, otherwise you will have to manually start the finisher, I normally use GUIRunOnce and that makes an entry in WINNT.SIF at the very bottom that launches the finisher. Also, if you are using Method 2, you should see the drivers extracting before the Windows GUI mode setup begins.

thanks twig,
It's so awesome the way you keep the 3rd party DriverPack's organized and indexed.
it is a job - and like so many of the things we do, is in danger of not being appreciated for the work that it is.
i was thinking that i wished i could do something to reward you
and it hit me - how about some recognition and a new tool for your arsenal.Jeff
Ooh Ooh! I'm listening!
As always, I love doing things like this and helping others, I just wished I had more time/hardware to help further the project (Probably what most of us think, lol).

add the new Phone pack
Done
@ Kees030 - The thread for the Misc pack doesn't exist and the link was set to goto the url "N/A", I have corrected the wording to say "N/A" instead of "Here"... and yes the pack is safe, as it is the same version that I currently use.
Corrected Misc Pack MD5
Updated Monitor Pack Info
Added Phone Pack

Re: [Help] Install Window MCE from network share (8 replies, posted in Installation Platforms)
Nice to see you around these parts Siginet!
Those Indeed are the files that I modified, as well the LAYOUTS file looks to have the same code as txtsetup.sif (which I modified as well). While playing around with editing files, I somehow corrupted my source and will test modifying those files again once I get some free time. But sadly, I get to work 13hr days all this week, so my progress may be slow.

Re: [Help] Install Window MCE from network share (8 replies, posted in Installation Platforms)
Thanks for the info about the $OEM$ folder (I did not know that...) As I am just starting to play around with PXE boot and TFTP installs (Without a Server based OS) it's been a bumpy road to try to get things working. I guess my final goal is to make an image that will work off a Network share as well as a CD/DVD with little to no modification needed, so I guess I can place the $OEM$ folder in both (Drive:)\$OEM$ and (Drive:)\I386\$OEM$ and make an "Optimized" ISO when a CD is made it will have "Virtual Links" to the files and still be the same size as if there were only 1 $OEM$ folder...
Right now I have am running XP Pro as my OS. On my OS I have Python running BINL service for so that when a system PXE boots it grabs the network driver needed from BINL. I then have TFTP32 serving as a DHCP for the PXE clients and loading PXELinux to serve a menu screen to choose what OS or Diag. tool to run over the network. Right now I seem to have XP Pro and Home installing (Only clean sorce, nothing modified yet) and those seem to install just fine, but I ventured into problems when I hit MCE, as it has the CMPNENTS folder outside of the I386 folder and I haven't had time to really look into it. I quickly modified the DOSNET.inf, LAYOUT.INF and TXTSETUP.SIF files to point to the location \I386\cmpnents\mediactr\I386, but to no avail I get an error during the T-39 phase (don't have error off hand). In the textmode portion of setup I do see that it does copy the MEDIACTR.CAB file so the folder is being copied... but I'm lost as to what to try next.
I'll continue to follow the thread that you mention to try to advance my existing Pro and Home copies to include the driver packs, but it would be nice to get over this little MCE bump as well.

Re: [Help] Install Window MCE from network share (8 replies, posted in Installation Platforms)
From what I understand, the $OEM$ folder isn't handled since the network install only sees the contents of I368... I don't fully understand the processes of how/why this is, but maybe I'm wrong. Any other thoughts?

Topic: [Help] Install Window MCE from network share (8 replies, posted in Installation Platforms)
Hey all,
I'm trying to install Windows MCE from a network share, however the COMPNTS (sp? @work now so not in front of it) folder is not copied because it is outside the I386 folder, thus the files are not being copied and installed. How would I go about "reprogramming" the install so that I can just move the COMPNTS (sp?) folder inside of the I386 folder?
I tried moving the folder and changing the 2 files that I found that referenced that folder and just added an additional \I386 in front of the path.. but setup crashes @ the T-39min phase...
Any advise? (I can get more detailed info once I get home if need be)
