Re: Help with missing files (25 replies, posted in Feedback and Support - DriverPacks Base)
All,
I have used the ZalMan for installing both XP and Windows 7 from Standard & modified .iso files for some time and have never had any issues, it not that its not findig the device its that its not copying certain files! only the files DP_Base uses...
Its not a hardware issue.
Same is happening on VM and physical hardware.
I have now got it working, but only by using my own WINNT.SIF [removing the lines DP_Base creates] and also changing some parts of the PRESETUP.CMD.
I am now wondering if MS has changed anything in the Windows media now its a .zip download as XP can now be licenced by MAK & KMS methods.

Re: Help with missing files (25 replies, posted in Feedback and Support - DriverPacks Base)
This is the WINNT.SIF, I created this in sysprep then DP_Base modified the last bit, I cannot see anything different than the one DP_Base creates myself?

This WILL run the Regional settings & productkey etc, if I use nLite/DP_Base created/Modifies one I am prompted for user input
Not too sure the DPsFnshr.exe is running though, does this produce a GUI?

Re: Help with missing files (25 replies, posted in Feedback and Support - DriverPacks Base)
Update!
I seem to have it working, but only if I create a WINNT.SIF file myself using sysprep, copy this to the i386 folder and allow DP_Base to modify this. If I let DP_base to create the WINNT.SIF it cannot find the paths!
I installed this new iso onto a clean VM but cannot see the driver finisher running, so not sure about this path, where is this located?
Thanks

Hi,
Not sure how the amps of the HDD would effect the path of certain files?

Yes, I know you used nLite to build the ISO!
I want you to use nLite to extract/copy the CD XP to HDD!
Therefore, you do all steps with nLite, except for driver-related stuff, which you only use BASE for (and only after all tasks have been completed save for building the ISO).Is it clearer now?
Don't have a CD of XP, my company are volume licence customers and windows XP is in zip format downloaded directly from MS licence site, it's self extracting so simply extract to folder

If you do it manually using Explorer or such, you may miss some files (hidden, if not shown etc.).
Also, try a different make of CD blanks, unless you are using a USB key for installation already.
Hi, I have been using nLite to build the .iso
Extract the XP CD into a folder C:\xp
I build the unattended section only in nLite,
Run DP_Base and slipstream drivers using method 2'
Build the iso with nLite
Either rin from USB (virtual cd) or run on a Virtual Machine

Re: Help with missing files (25 replies, posted in Feedback and Support - DriverPacks Base)
Hi all
I think I know whats stopping the file copy process, I am just not sure why?
I am using a ZalMan ZM-VE200 USB drive that also MOUNTS .iso files and boots as virtual CD ROMS!
All other .iso files work, XP, Windows 7, The usual boot CD's like Hirens etc etc. I have install OS's on many machines with this device and have never had a problem even when installing another version of XP thats also built using DP_Base.. really strange
Where in the system are the paths stored for the location of these files?
thanks

These files must exist on your ODD (CD or DVD) in the I386 folder

running Nlite after DriverPacks, for anything except creating the ISO, will break the process.
I leave Nlite open and running at the create ISO screen while I add DriverPacks.

I have checked and the files ARE in i386 of my boot media.
I have also just tried leaving nLite open while i slipstream the drivers [method2]
Where should the finisher be?

Start again with an untouched XP source.
I have tried from fresh media, and I know it has not been tampered with.
Are the paths to the files in txtsetup.sif?

Topic: Help with missing files (25 replies, posted in Feedback and Support - DriverPacks Base)
Hi
I am building a Windows XP unattended install, I have used nLite to create an unattended setup, then using DP_base slipstreamed the driver
packs into the system uing method 2.
I have then used nLite again simply to create the .iso for me.
The iso boots fine lets me select the partition and drive etc,
but during the file copy section it cannot find 5 files
[I suspect its a path issue but not sure what file the path is stored in]
SetupORG.exe
Presetup.cmd
mc61xxmm.sys
mv64xxmm.sys
mvxxmm.sys
I have done the build in this order...
Expand XP disk into folder
Run nLite just the Unattend section
Run DP_Base and slipstreamed drivers using method 2
Run nLite to build .ISO
if I skip these files [press EXC] the install continues untill after the file copy
then Windows cannot find
C:\DPsFnshr.exe
Any help would be great
Thanks

Yes it's an external USB drive, contains all XP files including i386 folder.
When I show it the path it picks up the XP version and SP level fine so I know is sees it ok,
After the slipstream fails it has created an OEM folder and created some files within it
