Resolved 22 of 24 log errors - Cannot fix these last 2

I apologize OverFlow.

Recently, I've been trying to cope with more hardware and software
conflicts than my tired brain can handle.

The first thing I did was move the entire PE Builder directory to "C" the
root partition of your operating system.  This simplified and fixed a lot
of problems I was having.  The only driverpack I need for my Bart CD
is mass storage.

The PEbuilder log has two remaining errors that I'm not sure how to
correct.

Processing INF file "C:\PE Builder\drivers\SCSIAdapter\D\M\ADB\adpenc.inf", class "System", provider "ADAPTEC, INC.", version "01/08/2007"
Error: Section "" does not exist

Processing INF file "C:\PE Builder\drivers\SCSIAdapter\D\M\ADC\adpenc.inf", class "System", provider "ADAPTEC, INC.", version "02/08/2008"
Error: Section "" does not exist

I can't find anything in adpenc.inf that would cause these two errors.  The
solution is probably staring me in the face, but I don't see it.

[[I hate to mention someone's name, because I never know the history of a
person as it relates to this or any other forum.

I discovered DriverPacks by reading Jeff Crystal's blog.  I recently mentioned
another person (on a different forum) who developed many plugins for Bart.
Everyone at that forum disliked this guy a lot!  I hope I'm not offending anyone
by mentioning Mr. Crystal.  I only know him through his blog.]]

Thanks again, OverFlow.

The person I was referring to is accused of copyright theft.
Apparently, many people at this other forum collectively
developed some really excellent "open source" plugins.
As soon as this guy had a good collection he created a new
site and started selling them.

I purchased two of them.  Why, you may ask?  Because
Acronis provides lousy free plugins, or intructions for
creating plugins that don't work.  For ten bucks I got two
Acronis plugins that work very well.  At the time I made
the purchase I knew nothing about this raging conflict
going on at this other forum.

As for myself, I fell into a sinkhole of hardware and
software conflicts with a new desktop.  I could not get
XP Pro_SP3 to write to several new eSATA drives without
a "delayed write failed" error message.  Microsoft was
very aware of this problem.  None of their solutions
worked.  Updating numerous chipset and sata drivers
finally fixed all the problems.

Because I had setup a RAID 0 system, none of the usual
boot media created by backup software worked.  I had
never heard of Bart, until someone suggested that I could
run my backup apps from a Bart disk, with the RAID 0
driver included.

I had no desire to become a Bart expert.  Getting all those
other drivers onto a Bart CD so it could access my eSATA
drives was a nightmare for me.  Your collection of driverpacks
is the final option.

I Googled about this problem with adpenc.inf.  Sure enough,
there were other posts with simple solutions. 

I'll try burning a CD.  If there are any more probems I'll consider
your DriverPacks BASE.

I've been building computers for a very long time.  I go back to
those primitive kits sold in hobby magazines like Radio and
Popular Electronics. 

Bart deserves all the attention its getting.  It's a remarkable
program.  I keep asking myself, how many more hours do
I want to devote to this app?  In the end, it may be easier to
junk some of my expensive hardware and use a different
operating system.  I've played around with Linux distros, but
never seriously considered dumping Windows.  The best
thing I ever did was not switching to Vista.  What a mess!
Who knows what Windows 7 will be like.  Like all Microsoft
systems, it will probably take years and a couple of service
packs before most of the bugs are patched.  I'm don't have
the time anymore to wait for Microsoft to fix things.  I've
got to go down a different road.  Maybe this set of awful
problems with Windows is the kick in the rear end I needed
to make a change.
