DP Base [all versions] and the XP 'Repair' Option (Page 2 of 3)

HI

    DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
    NonDriverSigningPolicy=Ignore

Are this lines required for same driver that are included in the DriverPack ? If i remove this line do i get some problems afterwords with same drivers ?

I joined the forum specifically to thank OverFlow for the responses and explanations provided.  The nLite forum was no help because nuhi's only feedback just to use his program.  I replace 3-4 bad hard drives a week.  DriverPacks is by far the easiest method for incorporating drivers for almost everything I'm likely to come across.

I don't want to use my unattended settings and I know it'd just be easier to have unattended disc and repair disc since I format hard drives a lot more than I attempt repair.  A lot of systems just don't run like they should after repair. I use only when a customer refuses to have their drive formatted (usually because they consider it drastic) and it always bothers me how sluggish the machine is afterward. 

If a program is adding or changing unattended settings it isn't that hard to figure out whats doing it and therefore what order tools should be used it.  I used nLite, WMP11 slipstreamer, RVM, DriverPacks, and then manually adjust certain txtsetup.sif and winnt.sif lines. 

Time is money and helpful forum admins have saved me more than I could soon repay.

The only "fix" to this I know of is to make a dual boot CD, one with drivers and at least WINNT.SIF with the 3 lines in it and one with no WINNT.SIF at all. Then you can use that disc and have the best of both worlds. However that is a lengthy process learning how to do it if you're not familiar with it. Nevermind, all these people installing Windows on many many machines are in the business of making money, I learned how to do a multi-boot disc just for the h*ll of it so I am sure peeps can learn how to do this.

honestly, I have spent enough time pondering over this to know - just make a multi-boot disc, you'll spend less time learning how to do that (and making and testing it all) than you would Googling for a solution that does not exist.

Can I just ask this: lets say we remove that [Unattended] section entirely - what is the worst that can happen, some driver(s) might say "This driver has not passed WHQL testing" or "This driver has not passed microsoft logo testing" or whatever it says - is this ALL that can happen?

If so, then its not unattended anyway is it so who cares if it says that, you'd just click next, yes, ok etc.

Floppy?  What's a floppy?

Read BEFORE you post.  HWID tool   DriverPacks Tutorial   DONATE!

Not all heroes wear capes, some wear Kevlar!

So if I remove these lines here:
""
[Unattended]
DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
NonDriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
""
I can use my current disk and keep the 'prompt-repair' option working still?

I use driver packs for just base F6 AHCI/RAID drivers and network drivers only on rebuilt dell/oem disks

Yes you can use a multiboot disc and DriverPacks BASE does support a mutliboot disc...

since CD's are twenty cents a piece I will just make a CD intended only for repairs...
I have not repaired a Windows OS in years - the result is just a disaster.

If you think you must do a repair you're mistaken... a reload is definately in order if the OS is wasted that badly.

But there is always an exception to any rule

To be clear... As if there were any grey area left after somone had read the above thread...

The ENTIRE [unattended] section must be removed

This is stated in at least three posts above .
It doesn't matter how many lines that there are there... They must ALL be removed including the [UnAttended] line itself.

Optionaly you can just delete the entire WinNT.sif file
If you are not doing an unattended Install (like when doing a repair) then you don't need an unattended response file do you

If you like I can see if we can get that translated into your language.

I Always image a machine before i begin work...
Ghost, disc image (forensic mode)...
(always verify image and open with GhostExplorer before formating target)
Then I  Always  virus scan - off line from BartPE...

Any settings files or registry entries may be retrieved at any time from a good backup (Ghost image)

Look at the size of the registry after a repair :0

But how do you load a specific program from the ghost image?

I don't... I reinstall them

Then you don't have a valid license... I don't EVER install software without proof of a valid license...

If you lost it sorry about your luck... Not my Problem. Next time you will know the value of taking care of it.

When i worked in a PC shop this was our policy.
If you cant provide the original install disc with Key or at least Proof of purchase - end of discussion.

You could extract the files and reg entries from the image with no problem. But, I won't do this if they can't produce the install disc / Key... They call that piracy.
