Tried at least three times to make a donation.

Link took me to PayPal page, amount listed in Euros, link to PayPal would not connect though my e-mail did pop up, password failed. I'm assuming that maybe because I'm in California and the Euros amount would indicate a European PayPal system I can't get there from here.

Intel has posted version 9.00.1008 of their chipset drivers on their web site.

I will second that.

You might ask the folks at RyanVM how they did it.

When you run the latest it creates a log file in this format: yyyy-mm-dd_HH.MM.SS in the folder from which it's running. Then when you run RyanVM again it moves that log file to a subdirectory: _Log History and creates a new log file for the present iteration of the RyanVM Integrator.

Therfore, all log files are available with the date and time created as part of their name.

So let me get this straight - as I do not do unattended installs.

After I run RyanVM to integrate whatever; including WMP11 slipstreamer and then DriverPacks and before I create an ISO to burn my 'new' CD I must edit WINNT.SIF to REMOVE items so that sometime in the future I can boot from this CD and do a repair install?

If that's true then, to me, that would seem to be the opposite of what people expect to do when using the Driver Packs.

I have created a CD for XP w/SP3 plus RyanVM Integrateds to include WMP11 slipstreamer and Driver Packs (using 8.05). I expected it to be ready for a repair install, if necessary, but you're telling me here that that would not have worked and I would have spent any number of hours troubleshooting trying to determine why, as the previous Driver Packs 7.05.2 did work and I would have had no reason to expect the newer version to now have a major glitch.

Seems to me this is the wrong way around to do things.

No links when I scrolled up - but there was one scrolling down one though.

Thanks

Chiefzeke, there was an error in mass***804b_promise

Is something misin here?

Is there supposed to be an update to the Mass Storage Driver Pack somewhere? The downloads only show version  8.04 - no 8.04b or 8.04c

Thanks

Tried to download LAN804 - went to a page with comments about a leech warning and incomplete graphics on page - no way to go any further.

After answering the statements and questions posted here last night and sleeping 'on the problem' and trying to figure out where the answer may be I finally worked out the solution.

First I must state that I had been working on updating two CDs; one for my XP Pro systemn and one for my XP Home system.  So I started with a comparison of the two results. A major discrepancy was the Pro system update had folders \I386 and \OEM and the Home system only had \I386. Obviously, first clue as I knew the use of Driver Packs would result in the creation of the \OEM folder.

So, that led me to try to figure out this disparity and while it took a bit of head-scratching the answer ended up being one of paying attention.

When the RyanVM Integrator > Advanced called up DPs_BASE.exe I assumed all parameters and settings would be read from the RyanVM settings and, therefore, would be correct. That was the error. (Pay attention to what you're reading and doing, as I have said to others and had to say again to myself.)

Settings > Location > Select location of platform was still pointing to the XP Pro location and I had not changed it to the XP Home location. Why? Because when RyanVM > Advanced called up DriversPacks BASE 8.04.17.RC I just clicked on the Slipstream button, assuming locations had been read from the RyanVM Integrator and, therfore, were correct. Bad action on my part. (That's why the code was what it was.)

So, that's it.  Sorry for all the turmoil and strife caused. Those posing questions and solutions I thank for their help and would ask everyone to remember what caused my problem and to file it away in your troubleshooting memory bank.

As I said earleir, I'm new at using the Driver Packs and I learned a lesson.

But, keep up all this excellent work.

no dont choose the repair option.... pretend you are going to do a clean install - jsut till you get to the selection screen..

When I boot from the 'new' XP Home CD I created and do not press F6 there is no selection screen, just an error message saying no hard drive detected; so how could I possibly pretend I'm going to do anything when the setup/install routine says there is no hard drive.

And, as I said earlier, when I boot from the CD and press F6 and use the Promise floppy the drive is detected but, to me, that defeats the purpose of having the Driver Packs slipstreamed into the original CD.

I don't know how many more ways I can explain this and to make it clearer.

I have done that if you have a fast PIII and a good amount of ram it works fine...

The motherboard supports a maximum of 768Mb of RAM; which is what I have installed.

The CPU is a PowerLeap Celeron 1.4GHz, identified correctly by XP as an Intel Celeron 1.4Ghz - has been working just fine.

hi,
promise card should boot if you select boot from SCSI in boot priority.

I am surprised you want to run XP in a BX440 "powered" mobo.

When the system boots the CD is before the Promise card in the boot order. No SCSI - it is an PATA drive connected to the Promise card.

I've had no problems with running XP on the system (except it is a bit slow but I can live with that).

"It is very likely that reusing the same source caused some corruption of your txtsetup and dosnet files.

by running RVM after running driverpacks you can no longer run the driverpacks again.

I will say it again.
I started with an XP Home w/SP2, then ran RyanVM 1.5.3 with updates and addons, then, last item, it called Driver Packs and finished up. There was no previous install of Driver Packs on the XP Home w/SP2 CD I was using.
I can't explain it any more clearly - NO PREVIOUS INSTALL OF DRIVER PACKS.

If I understand the comments/questions above:

I booted from the CD to test everything I had done and my option was to do a repair install. Initial boot was fine, F6 not selected, and the WinXP setup said no hard drive found therefore no drive to select. (I'm assuming because I'm using the Promise controller card and it does not get loaded/installed till after the boot CD/DVD device is invoked - I know of no way to change this boot order.) Did an F3 as setup required, system rebooted, F6 pressed, drive to repair selected and repair install continued to end.

My source was/is my XP Pro w/SP2 CD which was used by the RyanVM Integator 1.5.3 to do its thing. Drive Packs install was the last thing done. (I am well aware that it must be last with no further installs made.)

Here's a copy of my original message and the complete log file as requested in the News forum. If I omitted something let mew know.

Downloaded DPs_BASE_80417RC.exe yesterday and called it from within RyanVM Integrator 1.5.3. I was using the RyanVM, his update pack, some addons and the driver packs to create a new CD for my #2 system that has XP Home w/SP2.

Everything went just fine, the ISO was created and the CD burned. Today I booted from the CD and tried a repair install to test things. Booted from the CD, did not press F6 and the setup routine stopped saying no hard drives found. I pressed F3, rebooted, F6'd and thing proceeded ok.

That system has an ABIT BE6-II motherboard with a Promise SATA150 TX2 plus controller card. This controller card is included in DP_MassStorage_wnt5_x86-32_804.7z so was I wrong in assuming I would not have to press F6 and read from the floppy as this new CD was created using the Drivver Pack that included this device?

Or are these drivers not really available to the setup/install routine when booting from the CD and doing a repair or new install?

Is there an option in the BIOS for 'Quick Power On Self Test'?

If so, disable it and maybe the memory counting will now be slow enough for you to check the BIOS version on the boot screen.

Maybe it used to be the place where I had previously downloaded DP_Monitor_wnt5_x86-32_07.1.11.7z and now that driver pack is missing, for whatever reason?
