I would seriously consider hosting the driverpacks on bit torrent so that they are more accessible. The downloads are kind of slow and downloading via bit torrent would be much faster and reliable. Ryan does this for his update packs and it's much better this way. I hope you consider it.

Haha yea wink. I don't know if it worked because I just re-integrated it or if the newer driverpack base fixed it...anyways I tested the textmode drivers on two different systems and its working now.

Solved

When I try to integrate the storage textmode drivers when I load setup, I get the error "cannot find atiide.sys". This is before the "Press enter to install windows or R to go to Recover console, or F3 to quit" screen. I integrated the following drivers: Chipset, Graphics A, Graphics B, LAN, MassStorage, Sound A, Sound B, WLAN, 3rd party, and MassStorage Textmode.

Is is not working because I have OEMPreinstall = Yes? (I did use Nlite before to integrate some textmode drivers and the OEMPreinstall was not a problem). If it is the reason though, how can I use the $OEM$ folder and textmode drivers on the same disc?


edit: Well I updated to the latest driverpack base and it worked!

I deploy the GX520, which is exactly the same as the GX620 minus the trusted platform module. They are both based on the Intel 945G chipset. The intel integrated graphics, even the latest driver, is not *exactly* the same as the OEM supplied by dell. The intel driver will work, but msupdate will tell you that a Dell driver is available. The sound driver will only work with Dell's driver. The LAN will work fine with the latest Broadcom driver. Chipset and mass storage should not be an issue.

I ended up making a custom driver pack for the GX520s so the Dell branded graphics and sound will install.

Nope nothing installs for me...i get the yellow exclamation marks everywhere. I have ? marks for: SM bus, Ethernet controller, and Audio controller. The display adapter is listed twice and has exclamation marks. Under device status it says: reinstall driver.

The display adapter even had "disabled" itself when i checked device manager. It was still working obviously...there was just an option to enable it for some reason.

I will post download links for all the drivers I had to download hopefully sometime today.

Hardware/Driver links for the Optiplex GX620 coming soon...(to a theater near you :-P).

The driver packs haven't worked for the past two dell computers I've installed. The integration goes fine as well as the actual installation of windows, but most of the drivers are not installed. The two models I've worked on are the Optiplex GX620 and a XPS M1710 Notebook. For the Optiplex, no drivers were installed. For the Notebook,  all of the drivers were installed except for the LAN driver, chipset driver (SM bus) and any other uncommon notebook drivers.

The driver packs I integrated are:
Sound pack B
Graphics Packs A and B
LAN pack
Chipset pack
MassStorage pack
