Driver Import PE - Need Help for Software Development (Page 1 of 2)

Sorry for posting wrong place.

For small defination,

Galapo's "Off Line SysPrep Tool" inject driver(s) to Target machine on disk
Kare's "Driver Import PE" inject driver(s) to running hostos machine (PE) on cd (+fbwf plugin (or any other method to have writeable media) required)

so it is another wheel

Also with Galapo's great effort with others great contributions "Driver Import PE" is now on LiveXP too,
http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.p … topic=5213

The next step Kare wanted to take is to support DriverPacks archives with "Driver Import PE", so we are here.

Here is the Jmicron driver i use successfully from manufacturer for a long time.
http://lancelot.winbuilder.net/5F/5Jmic … 363_32.rar
Here is the Jmicron driver from DP_MassStorage_wnt5_x86-32_805.7z that works only when DPs_BASE_805.exe used to create plugin.
http://lancelot.winbuilder.net/5F/5_J_D … 805.7z.rar

Here is an example

Scenerio is this:
imagine i prepare a cd by using DP_MassStorage_wnt5_x86-32_805.7z - DPs_BASE_805.exe --> plugin for bartpe, livexp ... etc.
and imagine i went to a unbootable pc
and put my PE cd, and boot.

Than i get a surprise, i can not access the harddisk!
so i go do driverpacks.net to get a new DP_MassStorage_wnt5_x86-32_XXX.7z (which support the controllers of this pc) and put it on usb-stick
go to same pc, boot with same cd
with "Driver Import PE" i import new DP_MassStorage_wnt5_x86-32_XXX.7z
and valaaaa, i can access the harddisk!
OR can i,
with the current problem i can not be sure!

But i can be sure if i use "Driver Import PE" with manufacturer drivers. But wouldnt it be better to go our lovely trustable source DriverPacks which in first place created (as far as i read) for that reason.

"Driver Import PE" Scenerio's can be increased,
Ex: for now with "Driver Import PE" i can install my Geforce 8500 GT by using DP_Graphics_A_wnt5_x86-32_8102.7z on cd. .
So the PE i prepare can support all drivers DP_Graphics_A support without loosing much space.
Ex: adding a general support for ethernet driver to PE by .7z file dont loose much space (7mb - 41mb)
Ex: In all scenerios core files to bootup decrease which is especially very important for utilized .img methods (ex: livexp bootsdi method with wim)
etc etc etc......

So it is a very helpful tool. beta already works now with DriverPacks packages, but with current jmicron problem we can not be %100 sure.

I hope i could write more clearly now. Sorry for bad english.

OverFlow

answer is YES

for a quick trial, try livexp (http://winbuilder.net/download.php?view.35), also a tutorial here http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.p … topic=4111
-find and add fbwf drivers (put files to appropiate folder)
-enable driversimportPE script(plugin).

When you boot with livexp cd, by using driver import PE, you can add any massstorage or ethernet drivers from manufacturer.

I guess it will be more clear when you make a trial.

"as i said i tried it in vmware and it reported failure"

?! you should report this to boot-land
http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showforum=52

i frequently make builds with livexp and try with vmware, no problem.

For UBCD4Win

Add fbwf plugin from here
http://thuun.boot-land.net/pub/pebldr-plugin/fbwf.cab
Add DriverImportPE plugin from here
http://www.kare-net.de/Download/DriverImportPE.zip

I just test with UBCD, these 2 plugins works nice.

just a note, current DriverImportPE (that you will download) support drivers from manufacturer, not from DriverPacks 7z file. Add a masstorage or ethernet driver from manufacturer to the cd and test it with them.

Edit: i mean put drivers you want to test in a folder in cd, like X:\mydrivers\

yes, of course UBCD4Win , i wrote in the begining but forgot in the middle , i know both, i like UBCD4Win more

Goodluck with trial

yes you have to have fbwf to make DIPE function correctly.

(fbwf is easiest method to explain and apply)

A thought: could Driver Import PE choose to reject the need for a reboot and attempt the installation anyway?

Lancelot, what happens if you modify DP JRAID_I.inf [JM] section to that of the OEM [JM] section given above?

Regards,
Galapo.

Lets get a topic started for this under the software topic - after we get our bug fixed...

this sounds very cool... now that i understand what it is

I will be glad to assist you if i can
- what a great idea and i think your program will definately compliment DriverPacks

@Galapo, If you would please,
Start such a topic for us in "Software".
You understand better than anyone (who speaks english) what it is. LOL
I would certainly owe you one
thank you for being here you're "one of the good guys"!
PS Do you have a sticky here i didnt see it just now...
(maybe make that Two posts )
