I just did the same thing and also noted that... I was going to try creating a S3 since the HWID's are in S2 and then test it... is that the correct way to do this?

I know I saw this suggestion requested before but it would be super valuable if a list of the actual integrated packs was created in the OEM folder as a record/reference

Same problem I just reported with 1007... do you have this version on any public share so I can grab it?

Did an install on a Vostro 3700 with ACPI\SYN0605\4&80BDFD6&0 and it picked up the driver from L1 synaptics 7.5.19.5 4/10/2008

these are missing in 1007
%PS2.DellDeviceDesc% = Dell_GROUP2_PS2_Inst,*SYN0603
%PS2.DellDeviceDesc% = Dell_GROUP2_PS2_Inst,*SYN0604
%PS2.DellDeviceDesc% = Dell_GROUP2_PS2_Inst,*SYN0605

Hmmm I just downloaded 14.0.3 from http://www.synaptics.com/support/drivers and the SYN0605 isn't in there either... the DriverVer=12/10/2009, 14.0.19.0 that has them is from the Dell site

I just tried a different USB drive with WinSetupFromUSB:

Used a 1Gig Cruzer and formatted it FAT32... laptop booted from USB, loaded files VERY SLOW, rebooted and blank screen, just sits there

EDIT:

Tried my 16 Gig Voyager and formatted it with a single NTFS partition (using the HDD option gives me a grub error when adding files), added the files and completed the process. Laptop boots, loads initial files, reboots to start windows, then just hangs...

Going to give up for now but I have made a few additional posts elsewhere and will see what I get back

OK... so now I have tried each of the tools and none of them have made a USB that just works:

WinSetupFromUSB - boots off USB to menu, select 1, inspects system, loads 1st files then comes to a MS window asking if I want to setup XP, repair or quit, press enter(install) and says inspecting drive and then "can't create folder \windows

USB_MultiBoot_10 -  boots off USB, copies 1st files then says starting windows and just does nothin\windows

FlashBoot  - boots off USB, then comes to a manual 2 step process asking me to create a partition and then format it as FAT32 (I did not proceed)

WinToFlash - does not boot from USB, ntldr missing

I will keep trying and if you have ideas let me know

I found this tool extremely helpful in getting both XP as well as 7 to install from USB:
http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/120444- … -with-gui/

You can even create one stick that can install both (as well as some other useful stuff)!

Make sure to grab the latest beta - I found it to work just perfectly.

Installing from a flash medium as opposed to an optical/mechanical combination prooves to be much faster and less prone to burning/reading errors.
As long as you BIOS supports it, it definately is the wa to go, IMO.
Plus, carrying that stick around is much more convenient than a CD/DVD with case etc...
Additionally, some drives would dislike my DVD+RWs, but even using a DVD+R doesn't help all the time (or you have to switch vendors - I already am bruning them at no faster than 4x for compatibility's sake).
So far, the stick has worked in just every system I plugged it in...

Thanks Helmi... I am trying it now smile

I would love to try it with XP.  I came across a utility a few months back and downloaded it, but never got the time to try it out.

I just downloaded Novicorp WinToFlash 0.6.0011 beta and I am going to try it and see what happens... I'll let you know

Well so far this doesn't work "out of the box" it fails with a ntldr error so I decided to post in their forum and see if the solution would be an easy one for this... I will post updates

I can honestly say that I disagree with FranciscoNET and frankly he has far too many invalid statements for me to go into a diatribe here. What I will say is that as a "computer tech" he could have found out about drivers packs before their Linux migrations and XP would have be a viable option.

There are newer versions of the Intel drivers out there, but they're beta.
I'll bet DGP is pulling their data from station drivers.  Not the best source.

But the they refer to the 9.1.2.1007 as being the latest rev they want to update TO yet thats what is in the Chipset pack...

Let me take a look maybe I screwed up... thanks for checking

I screwed up and used the wrong S0 folder so I just corrected the pack and re-uploaded. I couldn't find a source for the S6 driver so I uploaded what I had.

Thanks again for checking the pack

I really just starting to play with Win 7 and I will check DISM later but my dumb question is what tool or tools if any are the 7 packs really designed for? Are they meant to be used with DISM or 7-lite etc? Can they be run in a SAD style? Sorry for the stupid question...
