Boot ubcd4win, open disk management. Is hard disk listed?

any driver greater than the official RST 11.2 has yielded me "file corrupted" fatal stops in pre-partitioning textmode yet i have not tried every revision nor any of the 13.x branch.  Every one of the executables have been STORPORT based, and therefore should not work on anything less than Server 2003.

This offers another option. Exploring the limits

2003 Storport 5.2.3790.4163 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943295 works at XP SP3 files.
Copy and paste the file storport.sys to BartPE XP system32\drivers

BartPE loads the driver iaStorA.sys Version: 3.8.0.1111
And displays the hard disk connected to PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2929&CC_0106

This driver refers to Windows 2003.

Contrary Version: 12.9.0.1001
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail … ldID=23496
This driver refers to Windows Server 2008 and up.
BartPE complains iaStorA.sys as corrupt.
It's not compatible to 2003 storport.sys or another reason.

I don't like to go this way. As long as there are XP compatible drivers, use XP drivers.
If there are 2003 drivers only, this could work in future.

That's another confirmation RST driver v11.2 works at Series 8.

As far as I know Network Adapter Drivers Version 18.3 are the latest for Windows XP.
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/detail … ldID=18717
They don't support Series 8 hardware.
Intel don't support this chipset, mass storage, network or USB3.0 at XP.

I don't know a working network driver.

Can you expand DP_MassStorage_wnt5_x86-32_1403071.7z
Edit the file DriverPack_MassStorage_wnt5_x86-32.ini at section [I-9]
Add PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_8C03&CC_0106 to line ms_1_hwids
And repack the .7z file

"At PEBuilder select XP source files without integrated MassStorage drivers." Does this mean that I have to strip out the OEM source files???

Yes, especial OEM mass storage drivers. This gives unpresictable results.
Slipstreaming XP SP3 disables them.

how do I now get the rest of the packs into it (LAN, WLAN)?

Run DriverPacks BASE at BartPE mode too. This creates LAN, WLAN PEBuilder plugins.

As for BarPE: Do NOT integrate MassStorage drivers to XP files. Do NOT do this.

Read again DP BartPE Tutorialhttp://users.telenet.be/jtdoom/basetute … lpFile.htm
Use DriverPacks BASE at BartPE mode to create PEBuilder MassStorage plugin.

At PEBuilder select XP source files without integrated MassStorage drivers.

As for BArtPE building use XP files with a SP integrated only. No other files, especial no drivers.

DriverPacks BASE did create plugins to add the drivers.

Do not include chipset and not CPU to BartPE.

Post some warning lies from the log file.

I wonder...would these USB 3.0 drivers fit better as MassStorage devices

Yes, that's a good idea.
Windows 7 does support installing from a USB drive.
Reading files from a USB 3 controller/device is faster.
Integrate USB 3.0 drivers to boot.wim.

Yes, as indicated alredy WDF is the culpirt.

Well, there is a history at VirtualBox 8086 2829.
Newer iastor driver version failed in the past, appearantly Intel dosn't support a VirtualBox device officially.
http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/107504- … d-drivers/
Back then iastor.sys 7.8 is recommended for a VirtualBox 8086 2829.
Newer Intel drivers works at real Intel hardware 8086 2829.

Use 'dir &&' instead. This avoid error at empty cardreader.

I'm using Windows XP SP3 files.

Do you use a SP3 vanilla version?

Unfortunately I can't easily boot to the CD recovery console because it requires special drivers for the AHCI SATA controller.

Which hardware do you use? Motheboard and CPU, do you add a graphic card?
Can you change BIOS to IDE emulation mode?

As for testing purposes:
load drivers from a USB floppy and boot to recovery console?
Can you install XP to this hardware?

Did you add graphic card drivers to BartPE? Do not do this.

I use DriverPacks BASE to integrate MassStorage and LAN drivers into BartPE, using PE Builder. This has always worked great : never came across an unsupported PC.

But now with the new Intel Sandy Bridge (i3/i5/i7) architecture, there is a new challenge. When booting our normal BartPE system, this fatal error appears : Stop 0x000000B4 The Video Driver Failed to Initialize>

I understand:
you did not include graphics drivers, but get 'The Video Driver Failed to Initialize' anyway.
Which windows files do you use? Can you boot to recovery console using this windows CD?

If we need those registry keys in the txtsetup.oem for this IOHSATA driver to work properly will this require a setupreg.hiv edit?

Yes, if keys are required, then setupreg.hiv is a possibility.

IOHSATA is a scsiport.sys child driver.
Nvgts.sys is another one. This one requires PnpInterface settings.

Compare PnpInterface:
http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic. … 325#p30325
This is textmode boot only.

You have to add settings to hivesys.inf too.

so an entry in txtsetup.sif shouldn't be required 

They will still need to be present in the I386 folder of XP source though, to prevent "File not found" errors with XP textmode install.

Once again: why do you like to add VIA USB3 drivers?

Do you like to boot from a internal CD drive.
And load VIA USB3 drivers gui mode PNP?

Do you like to install XP from a device attached to a VIA USB3 controller?
What about textmode part? Do you get a BSOD 0x7b that way?
What about first reboot, reading files from a device attached to a VIA USB3 controller?
That's before gui mode PNP driver loading.

Verify this at real VIA USB3 hardware.

I've only been testing with a VM, but it seems that the Fresco and VIA drivers are happy without WDFLDR and WDF01000 being referenced in txtsetup.sif at all! (weird?)

Which VM do you use? Does the VM emulate a USB 3 hardware?
Can you test real USB 3 Fresco and VIA hardware?

Does setup copy wdlfdr.sys to hard disk at textmode that way?
What about first reboot from hard disk?
Do you expect to read files from Fresco and VIA USB 3, e.g. expand DriverPacks packages to hard disk.

At least one txtsetup.sif/dosnet.inf  entry is required.
Maybe more. Real hardware testing is required still.

TechDud wrote:

It would be ideal if it were not installed at all if either the Fresco or Via controllers are not present.

The driver usbehci.sys contains a string usbport.sys, it's calls the driver usbport.sys.
usbport.sys is not listed as device service at registry.

The driver usbhub.sys contains strings usbd.sys and wmilib.sys.
Neither usbd.sys nor wmilib.sys are listed as device service at registry.

VIA xhcdrv.sys "WDF Driver for VIA eXtensible Host Controller" contains a string wdfldr.sys.
Fresco flxhcic.inf and VIA xhcdrv.inf installs CoInstaller WdfCoInstaller01009.dll.
WdfCoInstaller01009.dll contains file Microsoft Kernel-Mode Driver Framework Install-v1.9-Win2k-WinXP-Win2k3.exe.
Therefore VIA xhcdrv.inf installs Kernel-Mode Driver Framework at PNP part.
update_winxp.inf copies two files: wdfldr.sys and wdf01000.sys
Non is installed as a service.

I wonder: does USB3 drivers require Wdf01000.sys?
flxhcic.sys is loaded at Textmode with wdfldr.sys only, no Wdf01000.sys.
flxhcic.sys  loads wdfldr.sys at Textmode.

I assume (no relating testing hardware):
wdfldr.sys has not to be a service at registry.
It's sufficient if exist files wdf* at textmode and after first reboot.
There is no need to add single Kernel-Mode Driver Framework.
Kernel-Mode Driver Framework is installed, if VIA  USB3 or Fresco USB3 is installed at PNP part.

One approach: Add one file \I386\WDFLDR.SY_
And edit txtsetup.sif

[SourceDisksFiles]
wdfldr.sys=1,,,,,,3_,4,0,0,,1,4

No other wdfldr addings to txtstup.sif.

The file wdfldr.sys is copied to hard disk.
At USB2 hardware, the driver is not loaded to RAM at GUI mode
At Fresco/VIA USB3 hardware (flxhcic.sys/xhcdrv.sys) loads wdfldr.sys. wdfldr.sys is laoded at USB3 hardware at GUI mode only.


Next approach: Add two wdf files \I386\WDFLDR.SY_ and \I386\WDF01000.SY_.
And edit txtsetup.sif

[SourceDisksFiles]
wdfldr.sys=1,,,,,,3_,4,0,0,,1,4
Wdf01000.sys=1,,,,,,3_,4,0,0,,1,4

Can anybody with Fresco/VIA hardware confirm or deny the ideas?
