http://3rdpartydriverpacks.thesneaky.com/wnt5_x86-32/ has two modem packs, the latest update and one from December. And the latest Misc pack appears to have been moved to the old folder so there isn't one of it there. Someone accidently move the wrong file?

Jaak: thanks for your suggestion.
OverFlow: "it may be some additional lines that were added to the unattended section. the [Unattended] section of winnt.sif must be empty to do a repair" <-- This, thank you. 8.05 is adding:
[Unattended]
DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
NonDriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
to there. I checked my sp2 discs made with 7.05.2, they didn't have that. Removing that whole section (all 3 lines, not just the two under it) from the 8.05 disc made it work. I hadn't been being offered the option to repair at all, sorry for not making that clear. The machines hadn't been previously used with packs, they were mostly customer machines that were having issues booting into Windows that a repair install would fix - stuff like bad hard drives with lots of bad sectors in Windows system files that were cloned to new drives.
Tried the disc on an SP3 machine that had been clean installed with one of the previously non-working discs, saw it fine as a reinstall candidate (didn't actually try doing a reinstall.) Currently doing a repair install with it of an SP1 or SP2 machine that never had DriverPacks used on it, seems to be going fine.
Thanks for your help and support, I really appreciate it.

Hello, just registered to ask for help on an issue I've noticed with DP Base 8.05.
I work at a computer shop and make Windows discs with via RVM and drivers from DP integrated to use with Windows installs and often with repair installs. What I've encountered since 8.05 was released is that any disc I make after using DP Base 8.05 on it doesn't see the current Windows install as a valid target for a repair install and only offers to install fresh along side it. If I use a vanilla SP3 disc or only integrate updates it works as normal, but as soon as I add driver packs to a vanilla disc or one with updates integrated it breaks the repair ability. I have yet to test with text-mode driver support disabled, that was going to be my next step, but without that feature the disc won't be usable anyway...
Note that with SP2 and the previous 7.x DP repair installs worked fine. It also works with sp3 + 7.x DP but that seems to have other issues with the DP fake setup not going off right.
