Jaak, I think you mis-posted the above to a wrong thread.

Your notes are on Nvidia drivers and my q's were exclusively with ATI/AMD and the ensuing issues with CCC and .NET.

If your comments were to relay to me that there are .NET and such requirements prior to installing ATI GPU's that can only use CCC , then I know a little about that and thus my question was about getting a clue on what T-13 is/meant and and how DP's are being used by those mentioning such.

Thanks

Hi,

This should get you there - http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/dow … loads=true

Your comprehension of my quirky english-latin nickname impresses me more than I guess my Dutch would impress you!

But it's meant more as an amalgamation of my love of all things fast - sieze the speed!

I'm not sure on this forum which thread you all should wish I reply in...so here goes

Thx Mr S-P
1st - I tried to download the newer G_B dp set, but the URL came back 403'd (see other thread)

2nd - thanks for the pointer that of my 2 Q's of GPU, one is in the test DP. I know ATI drivers for it have been around since near to 7.0, so I'm guessing the fact it's not in the std DP builds has more to do with the 'dreaded' ATI CCC vs CP debate and the need for .NET at time of CCC install.

To which I have another 'noob here' question: all people say about the .NET requirement is that you can do it at "T-13" and I don't know the slang. 
So where do I find a FAQ about this?

I know the issue is a showstopper / BSOD level failure if not addressed, and both my next install cycles are ATI/AMD GPU of the x1k series, so this can't be a unique thing to need to know, but doing a search on T-13 seemed too broad to help.

And if anyone else knows about the x1250...

Thanks!

Tried to follow URL in 1st post to pickup G B lastest and see the following 403 error:

The requested URL /driverpacks_nightlies/DP_Graphics_B_wnt5_x86-32_708test2.7z was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Hi,
forgive the problem with my code not showing up in 'code' boxes - I don't know how to format these

Tried to use 'all' std (not 3rd party) driver packs I was interested in for devices known to my mobo(s), but the result was over 1.1GB and I was looking to fit on 1 cd.

So next I'm trying to use a more limited set and pare things down even further for a CD that may only be for these 2 systems, but still is ready for them 100% on 1st install (drivers wise).

I've posted elsewhere that it turns out some of my hardware isn't in the packs, but looking past that I'm trying to see if I can start by using certain packs and whittling them to just my devices before going off and building my own as '3rd party.'

So what I'm doing and what's failing:
1) download recent dp for: LAN, MassStorage, Chipset, etc etc (ex: DP_Chipset_wnt5_x86-32_706.7z)
2) unzip all of same to individual folders
3) go into one driverpack's contents and simply delete all sub-folders that are not needed by my HWID's
leave any top-level .ini or description file intact
--- so far you would think this is what's addressed in the FAQ sticky, but it's not... ---
4) using the exact recommendd settings per the 'build your own 3rd party FAQ,' re-zip the smaller/trimmed folder back to a folder identically named as the full contents source (ex: DP_Chipset_wnt5_x86-32_706.7z)
5) copy that .7z to my working directory for running dps_base.exe
6) run dps_base.exe, modify the settings to suit my changes/needs, save settings to .ini file
7) start actual slip in dps_base.exe and get errors for DP chipset:
here is the dps_base.log

Since the FAQ say's all you have to do is rip out what you don't need, how did I go wrong?

If I use the non-trimmed versions of the DP's, things work, so I know it's not just that I'm failing to set up the basics correctly.

THanks,
Jeff

Hi,
While the Realtek 8110S(B) is called out as included, the 8110S(C) is not and if I understand Realtek naming correctly it is indeed a different device or rev of the hw.

Sorry, I don't yet have the HWID, but will soon. It's part of a Gigabyte ga-ma69gm-s2h motherboard, but I can list a dozen other mobo's with this NIC, even if it is only on-board PCI device (not PCIe).

Realtek's drivers site has them at ver 6.73, as of 2007-07-20 and does label them as SC, not SB.

Am I missing something or are the drivers packs? :-)

Thanks,
-Jeff

Hi,
I have looked thru the supported lists and even the .inf files for 2 different model AMD GPU's that are common models and don't see either. Neither is hot off the presses, nor are they old or quirky models.

I have on-hand my ATI AGP 8x Radeon x1600 graphics card with the following 2 HWID's:
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_71C2&SUBSYS_030B1002&REV_00\4&1A99067F&0&0008: Radeon X1600 Series 
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_71E2&SUBSYS_030A1002&REV_00\4&1A99067F&0&0108: Radeon X1600 Series Secondary 

On-the-way from newegg I have a Gigabyte mobo with a built-in AMD GPU (IGP) that is parts of the AMD 690G chipset (northbridge) - and docs list it as the AMD x1250 (yes 1250) - but of course I don't have the hardware yet so I don't know it's HWID yet.
But this chipset has been out months now, so surely I'm not the 1st to ask?

I am seeking for XP SP2 x86 (& others (2003, XPx64) if possible)

Am I missing something or are these truly not yet in the driver packs?

Thanks,
Jeff

I know what the problem area is...the fasttx2k.inf file starts off with particulars for the 378 controller, and then contains data for other controllers that are not part of that HWID (the 4000 series)

I didn't 2x check the other files, .cat or .sys, but obviously something got muddled and this alone is enough for the install to fail

I too have a dependent PC and thus may need to find a working copy of MassStorage dp if I can't modify my copy with my local fasttrak files

Hope this helps!
