Re: Mini MassStorage Pack creation - seeking help (6 replies, posted in DriverPack Mass Storage)
Thx for yr prompt reply.
..and how stupid of me: When I extracted yr original Mass DriverPack, I wound up with a subdirectory under which I found the drivers and the .ini file. So when I compressed everything again, I did that including the new subdirectory. What I should have done is to just compress the drivers and the .ini file.
One more question: when I throw out the Mass drivers that I don't need, does that make the skimmed down pack a 3rd party Pack? If so I have 2 further questions:
1. I seem to have read somewhere that a 3rd party driver pack cannot contain Mass Storage Drivers. True?
2. A scaled down version of the original Mass Driver Pack is functionally comparable to to the original pack - just that it has fewer drivers in it. One would think that it should behave just like your original Mass pack. True?

Topic: Mini MassStorage Pack creation - seeking help (6 replies, posted in DriverPack Mass Storage)
I'm trying to create a BartPE CD with "my" Mass Storage drivers (3 PCs) so that I can use either Ghost8 or Acronis True Image10 to make Images. I'm through reading all sorts of HOWTOs but so far w/o success.
This is what I have done so far: Taking DP_MassStorage_wnt5_x86-32_801.7z as a base I threw out all the drivers that I didn't require, reducing the pack to just the I3, M3, N, P, & P6 drivers. I also edited the corresponding DP_MassStorage....ini to include only above drivers. Next I put everything into an archive, using 7Zip and Bâshrat's 3rd Party DriverPacks Tutorial. No luck however when running DPs_BASE.exe. I get an error "no settings file found for DriverPack MassStorage - the file .......DPMtmp\DriverPck_MassStorage...ini could not be found.
I'm not even sure that my path would turn out to be the correct one, maybe my idea isn't so great to begin with, but I compared the original DriverPack - which works - with my shortened one and couldn't see any technical difference. So just to experiment, I took the original DriverPack, unzipped it, deleted the original .7z file and created the origianl archive again (with 7Zip). I tried this new 7z file which is exactly the same as the original one - and get the same error message.
Do U guys know what's going on?
