[SOLVED] Win2000 ntfs.sys corrupted under Base 7.05.1 (Page 1 of 2)

I did not add any text mode Mass Storage drivers other than those in the driver packs.

I'm not sure about the memory limit, however all settings have been identical (Virtual PC 2007 with 384MB).

When the installation failed, I reinstalled Base version 7.04 (overwrote 7.05.1) and slipstreamed with the same settings and driverpacks (all current), it then worked.

The working directory was identical (as I was in problem solving mode, I'd backed up the nLite working directory).

Kurt, could you please try this: do a new slipstream using the newest BASE (7.05.1) with the previous MassStorage (7.04). Please post the results here. Thanks.

Unfortunately I no longer have the 7.04 Mass Storage Driver Pack, so far I can confirm:

7051 Base and 705 Mass Storage: Fail
704 Base and 705 Mass Storage: Pass
7051 Base without Mass Storage: Pass

Ok, using 7051 Base and 704 Mass Storage, there is still a fatal error, but a different one.

Insufficient memory for ntfs.sys

all the more true if you do not use a higher version number after you fixed something by your sweet self.
Then it uses a NON updated QSC.

QSC is primarily useful for M1
Method one is considered obsolete for the most part and is rarely used and not discussed much anymore.

since m2 uses around 300 meg and m1 uses over 500 meg (on the destination) with full selection of the driverpacks.
M1 also exceeds the 4096 character limit for a search path in winnt.sif. so all folders past this limit are ignored.
most people opt for the disk space savings and full availability of all the drivers in the driverpacks by using M2.

If QSC is used for M2 it only affects textmode mass storage drivers. Since the mass storage driverpack is so small it doesn't have a huge benefit. I recomend turning it off unless M1 is needed.
the driverpacks base will automaticaly use the highest version found in DriverPacks or QSC so deleting the files in the QSC folder are not absolutely neccessary. Unless you are trying to use an older version AFTER you have used a newer version or if you are low on disk space.

QSC keeps a copy of the cabbed driverpacks to save time.
This was helpful only if more than one disc was going to be slipstreamed.
extracting the near solid archive 7zip DriverPacks and then cab compressing them is very processor and disk intensive.
if multiple slipstreams are done useing M1 this can save 30~60 minutes on all slipstreams done after the first one. 

if your not useing M1 turn it off and forget it.

We probably will be phaseing M1 and QSC out and documentation will become a non issue. in the mean time Mr_Smartepants will probaly see this and add it to the help file he's working on.

Huh? This is not true.

This is only necessary if you want to use a modified version of a DriverPack after you've slipstreamed an unmodified one. You don't have to do it every time. The QSC has a directory for each (DriverPack, DriverPack version) - pair. Hence there's no need to clear the QSC "every time".

I belive that is a good suggestion, and not presumptuous at all. I'll add it to 7.05.2 english version

Ill have to get with the translations team to get it fixed for the other languages

Actually it's not.

QSC is still useful for text mode MassStorage drivers. So it should stay the way it is.

7.05.2 is available let me know if the issue is gone now.

you will need to tag a few extra drivers for disable If OS in mass storage inf to get going again.

pick a couple of them you won't need.
the following actions will make it work again since this error happens when too much ram is consumed by loading text mode drivers.  Additionaly this error may show up on one of your systems but not another.

add this line to some unused driver sections of DriverPack_MassStorage_wnt5_x86-32.ini in the mass storage pack. adding the below line will prevent that driver from being loaded during text mode.
The driver will still be available as a plug and play driver for windows - just not for text mode.

ms_1_exc_disableIfOS= "w2k"
