two solutions

one you can find the correct driver for this card and provide a link to it.
I recommend this option as the best choice and hope you can find it for us

two you can try this test pack that i hacked.
i recommend choice one please

OK, I looked it up on the Dell web site and here's a link to their driver:

http://ftp.us.dell.com/video/128ATI2K.EXE

I'll hold off for now from trying the test pack you created.

I did not remove any of the hardware support items in nLite (I even reconstructed my nLite Windows 2000 CD and reinstalled to be on the safe side), so it would seem that Windows 2000 does not include native drivers for the ATI Rage 128 Pro video card.  It looks like Graphics B is supposed to include the ATI Rage Pro drivers though, so I'm still baffled as to why it isn't being installed from my DriverPacks.net S.A.D. folder.

I'm not too worried about the modem driver (like you said, I suppose I can add that as a 3rd party driverpack if needs be), but it certainly seems like the video card driver should have been installed.

I uploaded my zipped logs to an alternative file hosting service, so hopefully this link will work:

OK, I decided to test the idea of making an M1 driverpacks.net SAD folder by first running it from a thumbdrive on a Dell XPS T800R running a freshly installed up to date version of Windows 2000 Pro.  Everything ran fine, but it doesn't seem to be installing any drivers at all.  The current system is lacking the drivers for an ATI Rage 128 Pro video card as well the internal Broadxent V.92 PCI fax modem and still shows two question marks in the device manager.

Is there something I'm doing wrong, or are there really no DriverPacks drivers for that particular video card or that particular modem?

Thanks for your help, OverFlow.  Can you let me know if there's any way I can keep all the drivers on the hard drive with a S.A.D. disc?

SAD makes KTD obsolete...

Does that mean I cannot use KTD to keep all the drivers on the hard drive with a S.A.D. disc?  The reason I ask is that I'm planning on creating a sysprep'd image of the hard drive that I can then clone to other hard drives.  That way I can quickly install an up to date version of Windows 2000 on other systems along with a comprehensive set of built in DriverPack drivers.

you can either run the dp_inst_tool.cmd with the /v switch  ( dp_inst_tool.cmd /v)
or you can rem the echo off line in the script to see waht is not happy

I just tried running the DP_Install_Tool.cmd again with the /v switch and the only difference I noticed were a couple of access denied errors as shown below:

What exactly should I be looking for with the /v switch or if I REM the echo off line in DP_Install_Tool.cmd?

I'm attempting to create a S.A.D. (Stand Alone Drivers) disc that can be used with Windows 2000 Pro systems, but I'm running into difficulty.

Basically, I'm trying to breathe some new life into older (P3) systems by installing Windows 2000 Pro.  I followed this guide to create an up to date Windows 2000 installation CD with nLite, but slipstreaming all of the DriverPacks drivers left me with an ISO that was too large to fit on a CD.  Since these are older systems, burning to a DVD was not an option.  So I decided to create a S.A.D. disc instead.  Evidently I'm doing something wrong though, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Here's what I've done so far: I installed DPs_BASE_809rc1 to F:\DriverPacks and saved all of the driver packs to F:\DriverPacks\DriverPacks.  Ran DPs_BASE and chose the S.A.D. option under Settings, selected all the driver packs and slipstreamed to F:\SAD.  Finally, I burned the entire DriverPacks.net folder to a CD.

Here's where things go wrong:  On the Windows 2000 system I run DP_Install_Tool.cmd from the DriverPacks.net folder on the CD, and here's what happens:

One last question: I'd also like to set KTD to keep all the drivers on the hard drive, but I don't have any KTD options after I choose the Stand Alone Drivers option.
