It's most likely because the drivers aren't signed. It's a normal function. You can try turning driver signing off. This is the reason why the driverpacks team coder wrote in a driver signing supression function.

Also, the sysprep.inf export wasn't designed so that you could do every single storage driver but to mitigate the adding of drivers you know will work in the systems you will want to deploy to.

What I would do is go by the massstorage ini file that gets extracted by the driverpacks to figure out what drivers can work together in what OS. At some point I'll write a function to do this.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/driverf … source.rar

This is the source. You should be able to find your way to the function that scans the sections. It's uses regular expression to find the beginning and end of the section.

Fortunately I only fat fingered the dl link not the file smile

I've edited the Modem pack

v9.07.05 - Edited D\3\M\S\1\mdmhamrw.inf and fixed brackets in comments

Yeah, it's not so much the reading of the line but the regular expression that searches for sections. The regular section ini reading function in Autoit won't support larger inf files. So I had to adapt one from the autoit forum.

At some point i'll write something into it but I haven't found it necessary yet. I mean this is one case in many thousands.

If you want to download the source Jeff and see where I can improve on that scan functionality be my guest smile I would be great full for the help.

The issue is this file

\D\3\M\S\1\mdmhamrw.inf

[MODEL_SECTION]
...
%Modem1%=Modem1,PCI\VEN_10B9&DEV_5450;                    ALI1535 [Primary MC]
%Modem1%=Modem1,PCI\VEN_10B9&DEV_5450&SUBSYS_4C225349;    ALI1535 [Secondary MC] and SmartRiser56

The issue comes into play because whomever edited the file added the brackets to the comments. That screws stuff up. It's really easy to just edit out the brackets in the comments.

Whomever is building the packs should edit the inf to fix this issue.

What can we say we're suckers for a pretty driverpack. And twins to boot!

I understand your plight smile

I think all you have to do is go to the appropriate forum for the pack you want an update on type something like [REQ] Atheros Driver XXX.XX
then be as detailed as possible on the hwids you are looking to add drivers for.

Thanks for the comments. I do think that would be a nice feature. Right now people are exporting versions of downloaded drivers to see what hwids are in the drivers and then comparing them to earlier version using something like winmerge.

I think it'd actually be a nice idea to implement something like it scans the driverpacks (and you can add the windows inf folder too, perhaps scanning the windows folder first?) and it'll output an unsupported drivers list of your current hardware.

Hey galapo here's another rebooting proggie. I don't know if it'll help you more so with the double reboot procedure.

http://members.ozemail.com.au/~nulifetv … /freeware/

The software is called rebooter.exe

v3.2j @ 2009-06-22 -
-- Added filters for processor arch and os version, you must select BOTH an OS version and processor architecture
-- Fix scan count again, will only count true/real INF files
-- Sysprep will not automatically select only currently installed hardware, so a user can select the OS Version and Processor Arch offline if needed

Plus, source has been released!

If you get the PCI Vendor ID for the printer that would help in finding compatible printers. Perhaps not from the same manufacturer but another brand that used the same components.

Hi Eddy,

You should look to download the 3rd party printer driver packs. We don't actually support finding drivers for users. Usually what happens is the user needs the driver and asks us to add it after they've found the appropriate manufacturer download links.

I love duck... I think... whats a duck?

The latest version is almost ready. Biggest improvement has been the addition of being able to choose processor arch and os version. Should be done by the weekend barring anything crazy.

Hi Cobravox, you may have the wrong thread. FindHWIDS was created under Windows XP smile

Mr_Smartepants, do I have access to upload the third party packs?

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, I had already posted this in the third party pack main download thread to have them fix the INF. But it hasn't happened yet.

Site looks great Wim! I'm soo happy we're getting an Online db so people can stop asking "does driverpacks support XX\YY driver?"

It's not a list of "warez", it's a list of OS install images. Any and all persons using driverpacks do not create "warez" when they integrate those packs in installers. Also, warez is something entirely different. Look up its meaning.

Try http://www.google.nl/search?hl=en&q … edition%22 for example. I get 2,990,000 results.

Wow your intelligent...

So if you didn't get that, it was sarcasm.

No, however, you can use excels conditional formatting to highlight duplications for a certain column. There are also other tools that are in a post in the Testing Team section to help you out in creating the packs, whether it be finding duplicate files or other utilities. It's the post stickied "How to Update the Driverpacks".

Don't worry Mr.Smartepants I haven't forgotten about you. I've just been swamped!

Squeezin don't you think it'd more appropriate to ask in the Ryanvm forum?

Why don't you try and start with a clean slate, virgin XP disc? Then you can find where the issue is coming from easier.
