Is there any way you could add the Dell PERC 6/IR drivers (and preferably all of the PERC drivers) to the next release? I need them badly - I'd do it myself but I'm not sure how the mass storage pack works - I've got everything else (graphics/LAN/etc) working fine after i added some drivers to your existing driverpacks.

Since Vista dropped text mode setup, is there anything special about the mass storage pack anymore? I know it was strange in XP because of the txtsetup.oem files.

link to drivers:

They are for Win2K8 but work fine in Vista.

Thanks!

hey everybody!

i've been using driverpacks for a while and haven't ever had a problem... until now.

i go through the options, get to the end, and click the slipstream button. it seems to freeze at the "removing entries from..." step (see the log). i've left it at this step overnight with no change whatsoever. DPs_BASE.exe isn't using any cpu cycles now, and I don't see any filesystem activity on the XP directory.

Any ideas? I've tried only enabling one driverpack, tried using QSC, everything... I'm at my wit's end... thanks!

here's dps_base.log:
