Topic: Is it possible to creat SAD cd and SAD dvd w/o original OS files

hello

this is what i want to do

a) i want to creat a Stand Alone Driver cd (drivers in cab format so as to fit all on one cd)

b) i want to creat a Stand Alone Driver dvd


cd/dvd criterias

1. cd/dvd is to be used post os instalation

2. use DP_Install_Tool.cmd from cd/dvd

3. auto launch "DP_Install_Tool.cmd"

4. all necessary files for "DP_Install_Tool.cmd" available on cd /dvd (i.e. DPINST.exe, DPInst.xml, un7zip.exe, DPsFnshr.exe, etc)

5. the resulting cd /dvd should be able to update / install all drivers on any system (BlackBox) without leaving junk files / drivers behind


And i want to do this manually, that is without original source os files

is this possible?


also is it possible to use a dummy source..or another other workaround possible?


thanks

p.s. do the SAD cd/dvd 's created in the maner explained here

http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=2264

if used with DriverPacks BASE 8.05 meet my 5 criterias?

Re: Is it possible to creat SAD cd and SAD dvd w/o original OS files

yes to all

except cab compression
to trigger base into creating the cabs you will need an I386 source folder
It is not neccessary to use it after it creates your $OEM$\$1\$D folder (with the cabbed drivers)
but base will not cab them unless it detects a valid source.

so all of the above is possable (and i thought descibed well in the posts you refered to...)

except you will need a source os to cab the files. on the up side it wouldnt matter if it was XP, win 2000, or win 2003 as the source.

I would suggest to you that you could put the OEM folder with the 7zip archives on the cd with the script.
yes i realize that it extracts them to the local machine but it also removes them when it is done. wink
jsut a suggestion that gets the DriverPacks onto a CD without having to have a source OS.
