Topic: [HELP] Questions about DriverPacks failed install
Yeah sorry that the topic subject isn't really specifying, but.. I'll try to make it up with detailed post. So.. here's what I did:
First of all I copied all the files from my WinXP CD to my computer. The plan was to make an automated installation of WinXP which I would then put on an USB stick (since one of my computers - HP mini computer - doesn't have a DVD-ROM). So what I did was downloading the Service Pack 3 and critical updates, so I could add them to nLite. And then I adjusted all the settings in nLite. Then I got the *.iso file, and from there I copied all the files to a folder. Then I googled for a DriverPacks software tutorial, and found this:
http://www.raymond.cc/blog/how-to-make- … indows-xp/
Then I used this tutorial to make my OS fit for USB stick:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=janEB_wbiBM
So I went to installing, and it went fine. But, I had to wait awful long time, since when the WinXP files copying was finished, it was clear that it had started copying the DriverPacks files (I'm not sure how it would be best to describe - it's the blue screen when installing, and the files which were being copied were shown on the right side, down of the screen). And after that was finished, it continued with the installation where I had to insert the CD key and so on - but since everything was automated by nLite, there was nothing I had to do. And then it was finished. So I thought that my OS is ready to go - since I thought that the DriverPacks software already installed my drivers and there was nothing I had to do. But came out that there was 0 drivers installed. And that was umm.. strange.
I know you probably want which version I am using, what are the specs of my HP PC, what driverpacks did I download, and so on. So there we go:
- I'm using DriverPacks BASE 10.06.
- I'll copy the specs from EVEREST:
Motherboard:
CPU Type: DualCore Intel Pentium E2160, 1800 MHz (9 x 200)
Motherboard Name: Hewlett-Packard HP Compaq dc7800 Ultra-slim Desktop
Motherboard Chipset: Intel Bearlake Q35
Display:
Video Adapter: Intel(R) Q35 Express Chipset Family (384 MB)
Video Adapter: Intel(R) Q35 Express Chipset Family (384 MB)
3D Accelerator: Intel GMA 3100
Multimedia:
Audio Adapter: Analog Devices AD1884 @ Intel 82801IB ICH9 - High Definition Audio Controller [A-2]
If you need more details on my computer's specs, let me know!- I downloaded the following driverpacks:
http://driverpacks.net/driverpacks/wind … cs-b/12.06 - since it has 12 Intel graphics drivers
http://driverpacks.net/driverpacks/wind … cs-c/12.06 - this one has 5 Intel graphics drivers
http://driverpacks.net/driverpacks/wind … pset/12.06 - this one has 120 Intel chipset drivers
http://driverpacks.net/driverpacks/wind … nd-a/11.11 - this one has 1 unidentified driver, thought it might be Intel's
http://driverpacks.net/driverpacks/wind … nd-b/11.11 - and just in case I added this one too, in hope that maybe there would be a driver that would suit with my audio card
So that's five packs - the whole XP installation grew to 1,79 GB, as my USB stick shows - so that's probably the reason why it copied the files for so long.
As you saw I downloaded the driverpacks based on what was my part: for example, I have Intel Bearlake Q35 chipset, so I downloaded chipset pack that included Intel's drivers. I'm not sure if I made everything correctly, or if I've understood the aim of this program correctly. So is this program meant for installing drivers automatically, and I really had to download all the driverpacks, which suited for me, and DriverPacks software will see itself, which drivers are actually needed from the Intel's 120 chipset drivers?
So.. as I mentioned before, there were no drivers installed - I didn't see nothing installed in program files. Is there something that I have to do myself, so it would install drivers automatically?
If there was something that I actually did wrong, let me know. If the solution is simple, then I could just format my drive and install Windows again, since it doesn't take very long, and I've got other stuff to do too, while it's installing.
But if the solution isn't simple, then I could just start installing drivers manually - BUT, as I can see under 'My Computer', my C drive shows that 2,65 GB out of 74,5 GB is used - BUT, under C drive, there are three folders: Documents and Settings (~10 MB), Program Files (~70 MB) and WINDOWS (~1 GB). So that's 1,65 GB lost somewhere. I guess that DriverPacks copied the driver packs on to the hard drive, but where are they located? That's like 1,5 GB lost somewhere.
This topic says that I should include some files:
