Nothing had failed, it just gets installed as a standard PS/2 mouse.  Thank you.

Regarding the third party, I'm stuck between a rock and hard place.  My notebook drivers only support Windows 7 so I can't find the XP 32bit driver on ASUS's site.  I also checked ELAN's site but they don't provide drivers directly so I'm forced to go through ASUS.

So I Googled for the XP driver and found the Wiki which I hoped would be acceptable.  I did test the driver under UBCD4Win and it did install successfully.

Re: [IMPL] ELAN PS/2 Port Smart-Pad

My bad... you did not state that this was related to BartPE plugins.

Third party DriverPacks are not selectable for BartPE... at least not in any current release of DriverPacks BASE.

you will need to add these manually to your PE disc.

thanks for reporting

Oh crap, I honestly didn't know I can do that.  Ugh.  I'm still learning so I appreciate your patience.  I'll read up on this feature.  Thank you.

Re: [IMPL] ELAN PS/2 Port Smart-Pad

Okay, I tried going the Disc method and then slipstreamed it into my I386 and then created my BartPE for UBCD4Win.  No joy on the touchpad driver.  I was hoping it would have been available.  I'll have to learn how to create my own driver pack for this one.  I'm posting my updated info just in case I messed something up.

Re: [IMPL] ELAN PS/2 Port Smart-Pad

you can't add drivers to BartPE by slipstreaming them into your source. That won't work, and will in fact corrupt your source. (at least for use with BartPE)

I think mr_smarteapnts wanted you to do an install and see if the driver was picked up...

ONLY USE a CLEAN XP SP2 source for BartPE... (or clean 2k3)

You won't want to or need to create a driverpack for BartPE

You will need to either
1) add it to the  "\drivers" folder of your BartPE or
2) create a "plugin" in the plugin folder of your BartPE

The simpler of the two solutions is to add your driver to the Your_path_here\pebuilder\drivers\your_driver_folder_here

Simply copy the INF and SYS files to that folder along with any other supporting files that exist with your driver.

- IE Put any files referenced in your drivers INF in the "your_driver_folder_here" folder, and build your source as normal.

IDK Why you would need this in BartPE... I can backup image and remove a virus just fine without a mouse... (and if you can't you should not be fixing PCs for a living) SOOO who cares if the mouse has the wrong name??? So it says its a PS2 mouse instead of a touch pad...

IF it is working why bother???

If it is not working... Who cares? Your a Tech ain'tcha?... Hang a freaking mouse on it and call it a day.

Re: [IMPL] ELAN PS/2 Port Smart-Pad

LOL, I don't think there are any Elan drivers in the HID Third Party DriverPack at all. Sorry.
I'll add them in so you can test OK?
OK, I added them and uploaded HID Third Party DriverPack 10.06.  Can you please test.

I'm using this as training aid for myself to learn how to do all this stuff including 3rd Party stuff.  I'd appreciate a little patience.  It's not about whether it works or not right now.

I've gone through a lot of resource documents but many are old and I've missed a few things sifting through the massive amount of info trying to find out what info is relevant and what's not.  So please just be patient.

@mr_smartepants,
Thank you.  I didn't think the driver was in the HID pack, but I did test it prior to you adding it and it didn't recognize it for what it is, so I'll test the updated pack tonight.  Thanks again.

Any word on whether they worked or not?

Sorry for the delay.  Been very busy and am traveling right now.  I should have time next week to get back to this.  Will let you know either way.

Re: [IMPL] ELAN PS/2 Port Smart-Pad

That's alright.  I uploaded the HID Third Party DriverPack version 1007.

Re: [IMPL] ELAN PS/2 Port Smart-Pad

Okay, I just got around to trying this and it didn't work.  But, it may be that it's not compatible in a BartPE environment?

But like I said, it's no big deal as I was using it as part of learning about all this BartPE stuff.  I did have to manually install the driver from Device Manager from my OEM folder that I created using the Disc option from the BASE application.

Re: [IMPL] ELAN PS/2 Port Smart-Pad

did you manage to add the driver to BartPE manually? (as I described)
- That is to say there were no warnings or errors reported by PEBuilder?

It is important to note here that BartPE is not a windows replacement.
Some things are Extremely difficult to make work in a Pre-installation Environment (PE).
Many times they are simply not worth the effort... anything is possable... How much time do you have to devote to it?

Think of it as trying to run windows XP programs in windows 98. Some may work no problem others may not work at all.

We are being patient... you weren't banned were you? big_smile tongue wink
Why (in the world would you do this)? is a totally valid question... no offense intended

Yes I did this but with the same results with no errors/warnings on start up.  When I try to automatically find the driver after the UI comes up, it's found but the with the same issue as I posted in the image.  Both the ELAN Smart-Pad and Input Device are listed along with the Microsoft Mouse and the standard drivers, so I know they're there and found.

Yes I totally agree with you.  I was actually going to just drop it, but didn't want to leave mr_smartepants without a follow up to his inquiry. smile

Yeah, I would probably ban myself at this point. tongue  No offense taken, but I've already answered this question, i.e., I just used this as a sandbox to learn about BartPE, how to configure it, how to use the driver packs.  I'm new to all this.  Right now I'm trying to figure out how to create a plug-in for BartPE.  I mainly use BartPE to back up and restore computers, wipe hard drives and that type of needs.  I'm NOT using it as an OS, but it's nice to have it come up, for convenience, configured with as many drivers as possible already in place for the hardware available.
