Jeff is right, OfflineSysPrep is necessary, but is not ALL you need! I myself have been using Ghosted (actually Clonezilla now as it is free and great) images for AGES now, all I do is:

Do a full XP install from CD on the oldest, crustiest PC you can find and disable/remove as many devices as possible except for ethernet - the point here is to install as few drivers as possible, and make those generic so that the XP install disc will deal with them. Any drivers except ethernet that do not install properly out of the box, ignore them and do not install them.
**OPTIONAL** - I have also used VirtualBox for the above initial install, worked great as well!
Install all Windows Updates
I choose not to install apps since they will get outdated as well, but you may choose to do so now
Use a SysPrep now (more on that in a sec) and make a sysprep.inf file with as many options as you see fit - I just set time zone and a flag to not keep the swap file the same size as when the install was done since machines of different specs will have different swap file sizes, and that's about it. There are tons of guides on the answer file so Google will help there. Reseal with your Sysprep and have the machine shut done when it is done, then make your image.

I purchased the nag-free MySysPrep tool and use it, the freebie is fine but I prefer no nags. The difference is in how you use OfflineSysPrep - with the standard MS SysPrep that will not deal with the HAL switch so you have to with OfflineSysPrep, but MySysPrep handles that step for me on first boot so I can skip it with OfflineSysPrep. Not a huge deal but I like it this way, it is the most universal I have found. You will ALWAYS have some odd machine that may not be ACPI compliant or some damn Dell with a wacky BIOS that will not boot right, but trust me - my company has 5 locations, and we may do 40+ Windo0ws XP reloads a week - for the 10% of machines that you waste 20 minutes on with imaging and Bart, the other 90% you save HOURS just on the Windows Updates alone!! I make new images every 4-6 months to keep up, and all I have to do there is reimage my ORIGINAL install (pre-SysPrep), update, and SysPrep! Saves HOURS per machine and is well worth it. (Plus SysPrep is easy, like 3 mouse clicks.....)

Last nugget for you, and shameless plug for me, I wrote a script that auto-launches my own driver installer which uses the DriverPacks, then whenm that is done the script deletes the driver cache, sets the IE start page to my site, and removes itself from the computer. I place that script in All Users\Programs\Startup just prior to SysPrepping, so it runs first thing on the first boot and loads most of my drivers! The driver installer is free and open source, check it out:

Thanks man, I'm downloading it now, we'll see what it can do not, I guess it's just gonna be a file grab, I was hoping for something prettier but oh-well....

The DriverGrabber utility is pretty nice for the local drive, but I'm still trying to find a nice way of doing the exact same thing to an offline drive, not the main drive. Again, as an example, being a technician I am often hooking up other people's drives as slaves to recover data, and I have been asked by other techs in my company to try to find a way to back up drivers from the customer's drives, using my data backup tool. I don't see how DriverGrabber is useful for that situation.

Any other thoughts?

Thanks

Hi guys. I have been banging out a data backup app for my shop and it has come a long way since I started it. I told my techs to please let me know any features they wanted, and one of the guys said he'd like it to save drivers. Normally that isn't a big deal, many apps can do that for free and are standalone, and I could probably make (or find) a good one in AutoIt.

My snag is that my backup app is designed to work on either the current OS drive or backup an offline drive, and I have not yet seen a driver backup tool that can compile a nice, tidy package of drivers backed up from the non-OS disk. Any leads there? If not, simply grabbing the entire contents of windows\system32\drivers and windows\inf should contain 99% of the files needed (I see some files wind up in windows\system32 but I'm NOT grabbing that whole thing!! ) but doing that would seem so sloppy. Is there a way of determining WHICH of the drivers from the above folders were the currently active drivers on an offline drive??

And if you want to have a look at the backup app as it stands, check it out! http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index … p;p=709825 I know many of you guys are good programmers, so if you have suggestions (beyond me explaining what the heck my variables mean, LOL) then please let me know.

Thanks a lot

What I have done is written this in AutoIt and compiled it, and call it at GUIRunOnce via SysPrep, and I have SysPrep NOT scan for non-PNP hardware so it doesn't try any funny stuff, and not integrated any drivers to the master install. This will suppress the New Hardware Wizards, then runs OverFlow's awesome SAD by HWID available at http://driverpacks.sytes.net/driverpack … taller.exe. For me, this has worked the best, but your mileage may vary......

$start = TimerInit()

Do

	SplashTextOn("auto driver loader","suppressing Found New Hardware Wizards",-1,50)

	Sleep(2000)

        If WinExists("Found New Hardware Wizard") Then 
		WinActivate("Found New Hardware Wizard")
		Send("{TAB}{TAB}{ENTER}")
	EndIf

	If WinExists("Hardware Update Wizard") Then 
		WinActivate("Hardware Update Wizard")
		Send("{ENTER}")
	EndIf

	If WinExists("System Settings Change") Then 
		WinActivate("System Settings Change")
		Send("{TAB}{ENTER}")
		ExitLoop
	EndIf

Until TimerDiff($start)>30000

SplashTextOn("auto driver loader","installing drivers, your screen may flicker",-1,50)
Run("c:\d\hwidinstaller.exe")
WinWait("DriverPacks")
WinWait("DriverPacks SAD by HWID")
WinActivate("DriverPacks SAD by HWID")
Send("{ENTER}")

SplashOff()
Exit

Don't forget to look at Galapo's great app OfflineSysPrep or MySysPrep, both are better than the MS SysPrep if you want some more customization. Since I (usually) don't even integrate Mass Storage drivers anymore, I use OSP from BartPE to inject detected MS drivers after dumping the image. May be more time-consuming, but it gets around having to endlessly prune the MS section down far enough to be thorough, yet not bonk NTLDR on the first boot...

BTW, sorry I've been absent from the forum for soooo long, I haven't had time to work on my own universal images in ages as my attention has been coding some pretty involved apps for work. I want to thank the people of this forum for their hard work, and want to thank the forum for getting me started with AutoIt, since picking it up earlier this year I have done some awesome things with it!! Hopefully my skills have improved a LOT, so if there is anything I can do to contribute some code to the project just let me know.

Ian

PS - OH, I like the new code tag, it doesn't wreck the spacing used in the code!! Spanky!

Another SysPrepper, AWESOME!!

As for the HAL switch, I have found Galapo's OfflineSysPrep to work quite well but some times it chokes on HAL detection, mostly on older hardware. He may be making another alteration to allow for prompting on first boot to switch the HAL, of course that will be a less unattended solution but it may help. A great alternative is MySysPrep which I have had better success with HAL swicthing, but MySysPrep uses the Microsoft way for mass storage drivers, IE sysprep.inf, whereas OfflineSysPrep handles this MUCH better. So my method is to reseal the machine with MySysPrep, followed by OfflineSysPrep for mass storage injection and a few other nice tweaks.

From there it is just a matter of how Base can help you integrate any other drivers in to the system. So I guess it would be best to say the steps are:
1) Get the master system finished
2) Base driver integration MINUS text-mode mass storage
3) MySysPrep for Resealing to get the HAL switch
4) OfflineSysPrep for mass storage and other items

MySysPrep can be downloaded at http://www.tsaysoft.com/mysysprep/ and OfflineSysPrep is available at http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php? … opic=19397

Audio was missing with pack 9.03n

I installed the driver from the motherboard disc and did a driver backup with "DriverBackup! 2", tested the extracted set and put it @ http://www.filesavr.com/realtekhighdefinitionaudio for browsing/inclusion.

Ya know, I've seen this before as well, but never bothered reporting it... AFAik everything in the Win install was fine.....

Just my quick 2 cents

Ian

2009-04-04 07:48:20

I have run tests with standard and nightlies, the logs from above were after sound 903n and graphics 903n as well.

I came back to post a link to the debug output, maybe this will help........

Sorry, Finisher wasn't run, I used OverFlow's new SAD by HWID installer. I have had a TON of issues with my own driver installer getting sound to work (HD or AC97, integrated or discrete, anything), and video has been a bit troublesome. I was hoping that switching to Jeff's installer would make those more reliable, but am still having lots of issues. I have used the standard packs and nightlies in my tests, same either way.

I guess I'll use the new DEBUG:TRUE flag in Jeff's tool from now on so I can get a complete log of what is going on, that way I'll actually have something to post in these situations...

Thank you VERY much for taking a look though and confirming that those HWIDs should be supported and working properly!

Both missing drivers can be found at http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=downl … od_no=1449

Used graphics packs 903n and sound 903n as well, installed after SysPrep with OverFlow's SAD by HWID tool.

Thanks!

LOL, getting back to the point of this topic, I just now had a chance to try your suggestion and did a regedit /s nvidia.reg (renamed it...) and saw that the keys were added properly, but the silly nvcpl mesage keeps popping up. In desparation I yanked that out of the INFs and reimaged, but now the driver is broken Yeah, I'll try anything.....

Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Any chance we could see a "set HAL interactively on next boot" option? I still want to try setting manually on a few systems, just a thought that came to me a moment ago....

Ian

2009-03-29 01:02:46

WOW, you better be getting well compensated for a situtation requiring you to go through a move like that!!!

I forgot to mention in my previous post, I Ghosted my original installation after SysPrep only, so it is very quick and easy for me to play around with OSP, and I did make a test image using ALL of the same settings as the problem image, except Do Nothing for HAL detect, and machines were able to boot with that change, so that is definately my issue....

I will try to help you as much as I can with the HAL issue. What I will do from now on is on any machine that my HAL-switch OSP image bonks, I will write down the model number of the motherboard, and then put on my non-HAL-switch OSP image which has standard ACPI HAL, then try changing the HAL to uni and Standard PC, and see if I can narrow down HALs that don't work. While I am not sure yet how to automate this or do any kind of detection, I do have access to a lot of different hardware so maybe something can come out of this.... Besides, I'd need to use the non-switch image anyway to get the machine running, might as well check...

Ian

2009-03-28 01:44:10

I have put my image with OSP on many many machines by now, and am noticing that the HAL detection on first boot is a very common place to hang. It mainly happens on older hardware but there have been some more modern systems that I really thought it should work on, but the amount of hangs I have had with OSP is more than I was expecting. Even many 478 P4 systems are not taking my OSP image, and I don't want to have to have multiple images, that kinda defeats the point. Of course, your HAL detect on next boot is a new feature, but I was wondering how many other reports of this you are getting?

My current method is use SysPrep to reseal with no MS integration, then OSP (I updated to 1.10.0.6, no improvement) in Windows with the target as slave, to integrate MS. I am considering a switch back to MySysPrep for HAL detect, I had no issues whatsoever with it's HAL detection but just hated the flashing banner in the top right of mini-setup. I'd still use OSP for MS integration.

So I guess my point, and question, is that the HAL detect seems a bit shaky as-is, and I was wondering if you have more tweaks you wanted to implement in to the HAL detection that may make it more reliable, or if it is working flawlessly for tons of other people and I have something else screwing it up........

BTW I can move my questions to 911CD or whichever other forum you want if you prefer......

Thanks!

Another system has come up with a problem, Dell Dimension 5150. After putting the image on the system booted, XP splash screen preparing to show the blue "XP is preparing to start" screen, but the blue screen never came, just a nasty restart. It then took me to a Boot Menu which I knew was a bad sign. Reimaged and tried again, same result. I reimaged, let the image install on another computer, then used OSP with no HAL switch (both machines are ACPI multi), did MS injection and SID generation. Put the drive back in the Dell, another nasty restart. I let it boot to Safe Mode, it got to a black screen with the mouse cursor, USB Mouse and keyboard (all that POS has) were frozen but did wake up, but Safe Mode never fully booted. After a few minutes of no activity from the HDD I was considering shutting it down, but it then suddenly restarted itself, and was then able to boot normally.

Any other info that would be helpful, let me know. I'll grab HWIDs while I can, this is a rush service job so I can't hold on to the machine...

WOW, you guys are just CRANKING through the updates for the Vista packs!! Outstanding, thanks for all of your hard work!!!

I honestly haven't gotten to them yet, but plan on doing so soon. It's just pretty incredible how often they are being updated! Thanks again!!

Update, the MX3228 came to life after a reboot. The first time through the setup the mouse and keyboard do not respond and plugging in a USB mouse will not detect it. After a forced shutdown all peripherals are working and I can continue.

Ian

Oh, and "fix possible keybosrd/mouse unresponsiveness" WAS selected......can't BELIEVE I forgot to mention that the first time around!!

2009-03-24 09:56:23

I have had great success so far with OSP 1.10.0.3, but have had 2 Gateway laptops (coincedence or crap?? ) not like my image. One is a Solo 9500, and after my image failed I did a manual installation (ugh, 900MHz w/ 256MB on a 4200RPM HDD...) and poked around, nothing unusual and the HAL was set to ACPI in Device Manager, same as my source image. I do not yet have the second laptop in WIndows so can't give much more info than it is an MX3228.

The Solo 9500 did not make it through the first boot (HAL), the hard drive light flickered very briefly and then it sat there. I dumped my image on fresh and increased the RAM to 512MB, same exact result.

The MX3228 did make it through the HAL boot and restarted normally, and even got so far as the Setup, asking me to click Next for the first time, and the system locked up. I tried mouse and keyboard to move past that screen, and plugged in a USB mouse for kicks, still frozen.

Both laptops were functional before my image, and both laptops had full RAM and hard drive scans run prior to me reporting this.

What other information could I give you that may be helpful? I know the Solo 9500 is ancient, but other images have worked (not OSP though). The MX3228 is new enough that it should have worked fine, and I don't suspect hardware issues with it.

Thanks

I tried your tool Jeff with the extra requests, and the PrepTool did finish with no issues.

Not sure when I'll run the installer, but I'll try to make time.

OK, as promised, here is my code BEFORE I started using Kickarse's scan tool, so this code includes my own scanning routine. Make sure C:\DP exists, and EXTRACT the packs you want to work with to that folder. This code is AS-IS, so if you run the installer (justinstall_s 2.au3) it WILL DELETE the C:\DP folder when done, so comment out line 194 to prevent this.

I have the for-next loop because I found many times that C:\DP was not being fully removed, something I also experienced a lot with Finisher when using Base for SysPrep integration... The loop makes it more likely to succeed (hasn't failed yet this way...). I included the rest of the typical deletions to the loop just in case

Code for suppress.au3:

$start = TimerInit()

Do

sleep(2000)

if WinExists("Found New Hardware Wizard") then 
	WinActivate("Found New Hardware Wizard")
	Send("{TAB}{TAB}{ENTER}")
endif

if WinExists("Hardware Update Wizard") then 
	WinActivate("Hardware Update Wizard")
	Send("{ENTER}")
endif

if WinExists("System Settings Change") then 
	WinActivate("System Settings Change")
	Send("{TAB}{ENTER}")
	Exit
EndIf

Until TimerDiff($start)>90000


Exit

I have only noticed the System Settings Change window with XP Pro, so included the 90 second kill switch incase that window doesn't come up.

Any questions/comments, let 'er rip. I also apologize about the spacing being gone due to the code tag, if anybody is interested in downloading the code in the raw au3 format let me know, that way the code will be much easier to follow.....

Your tool does do what I set out to do, but I have several extras. I wish I had the code with me for what I do, maybe on Monday when I get back to the shop I'll post all of my code and let you see what I'm up to. I'll summarize as best I can for now:

My current method is to get XP set up just right in VirtualBox, SysPrep it with just the standard MS SysPrep with no MS integration or PnP detection, just plain for Home and Mini-Setup option for Pro/MCE.
GhostCast the virtual installation by capturing a Bart ISO with VirtualBox and send the image to the physical installation (worst part of the whole process...)
Transfer the image to a real HDD with Ghost
Use OfflineSysPrep for HAL on next boot and MS injection plus a few other options
Reimage
Use Ghost Explorer to insert my apps and the driver cache in to the image

My driver+other method then kicks in as follows:

The main app gets put in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup which is what does devcon * on the local machine the image was dunped on
The main app calls another simple one I wrote to automatically close any Found New Hardware Wizards, which closes at either the window that says driver installation is complete (forget the window name right now) or 90 seconds, whichever happens first
The main app then runs a match scan on the devcon output file against the master HWID file (currently Kickarse's modified INF HWID list)
As matches are found the names of the directories containing the matching INFs are written to a temp file
When the scan is finished the match directories are copied to a temp folder where dpinst and dpinst.xml are located
dpinst is then run to install the matches
The main app then attempts to delete the driver cache folder, calls another app, then closes itself
The last step is the above app, which will delete the driver cache, tidies up the Desktop a bit, and sets some registry entries for things like default homepage, and will eventually (hopefully) shut the silly NVCPL error up

So you see, what I need it much more than one tool just for drivers, and with all of the dependencies involved, plus needing to try to do things like calling my cleanup/reg stuff after other programs have run, plus the feedback my installer gives since the whole process can take 5-8 minutes, it has just seemed like the right thing to do to keep mine going. I suppose I could just write an app to call your installer then follow up with my cleanup, but mine is working so well now that I'm kinda disinclined to give it up! Allllllll I want to do now is beef up my INF scanning tool.

OH YEAH, as for that, my original scanner outputted as follows:

HWID1
HWID2
HWID3
etc
***c:\dp\d\m\a...........
HWID1
HWID2
etc
***c:\dp\d\m\b

That way, as matches are found my installer would look for *** so it knew where it came from. Using FindHWIDs I had to make the out go

HWID
***source
HWID
***source
HWID
***source

So there is a lot of wasted space on redundant source locations. I could fairly easily make it more like my preferred method, but was at a point where I was putting too much time developing, my company has 4 locations and quite a few techs who use my images, so I hit a point where I felt like just giving them some updated images and stop tweaking! They were stuck using images I did in early January, and I have made who-knows-how-many dozens of images since then.....

So, there is my huge overview, I swear just posting the code would take up less space!! On Monday I will post the code as it is using my scanner, not modifying FindHWIDS.

Ian

Edit - Oh, and no I'm not trying to do a KTD-type installation, I used to but stopped doing anything like that in January, you pointed out several times, using SAD as one example why, that it was silly keeping 3GB of drivers around in case a modem got installed months down the road, plus another of my techs complained about keeping the drivers. Plus if that install were to be re-SysPrepped (a practice I no longer do...) the DevicePath entry in the registry just gets waaaaaaaay out of hand. So no, no KTD.

Yes, I used it on a few machines as a test, sorry if I never really gave any feedback!! I do like the feature where it keeps the drivers compressed until they are needed, and as I recall it worked very well. The only reason I am not using it now is because my own tool has come so far, and is more tailored to my uses (obviously, I wrote the bloody thing! ) Do you have plans to include it in a future release of Base? Do you need any more testing of it done? I'd be happy to help shake any bugs out and offer some input if you'd like, but testing of it may be a bit limited since my images are now locked down using my own tool..... But I could try to make some time to experiment with it.

On a side-note, I was going through the code for InstallByHWIDsPrepTool to see if I could either learn how your INF scanner works and see if I could use that to help my own routine, or just reformat your output to be how my installer needs it, and I am still so lost by your programming style!! I even went so far as to write a program to take your output and convert it to my output style, after an hour it worked for a fraction of the output and would freeze, so I said some bad words and walked away from it. I am currently using KickArse's FindHWIDS and reformatting the CSV output to meet my criteria, the results are a bit more thorough than mine but the output file grew a LOT since doing so, so it takes literally twice as long now to scan for matches. My method was:

Scan the INF for lines containing a & or a {
Omit any matching lines that started with StringLower( hklm, exclude, classgui or proxy.clsid
Go through that line and try to trim it as much as possible to only contain the HWID, no comments or descriptions, etc

Then I modified it by looking at your results and manually going through a few INF matching your results and made my newer way:

Scan the INF for any lines starting with %
Any line that contains a \ gets saved as a possible HWID
Go through that line and try to trim it as much as possible to only contain the HWID, no comments or descriptions, etc

Pretty crude. The output file for this was about 1.2MB with all packs and most 3rd party (no monitors, phones, a few other omissions). Using FindHWIDS the same set of drivers created a 12MBish CSV, using my parser I get a 2.4MB master HWID file. On one particular test machine my scanner only found 4 driver matches, the FindHWIDS-modified output file found 12 matches, though the only actual difference was that file found a match for the ethernet adapter that mine missed. I am still trying to find the "right way" to pluck out what is relevant, or even POSSIBLY relevant, with my own tool but due to the need to stop spending so much time developing and just get some images out, I decided to just use FindHWIDS for now....... But if possible I'd like to go back to my own way, due to how I had to format the output from FindHWIDS versus my own scanner I know I can reduce that significantly, which will result in a big time saving.

Anyway, thanks for the tip on Nvidia.ins, I'll take a peek at that and see what is has to offer!
