Help with missing files (Page 1 of 2)

Either something/someone modified txtsetup.sif after DriverPacks BASE was used or your source has been tampered with.
Start again with an untouched XP source.

Mr_smartepants..

I have checked my txtsetup.sif and I can fine the lines for these files [I have not pasted the full file due to its size]

setupORG.exe= 1,,,,,,,2,0,0
presetup.cmd= 1,,,,,,,2,0,0

mv61xxmm=mv61xxmm.sys,4

mv64xxmm=mv64xxmm.sys,4

mvxxmm=mvxxmm.sys

Also at the bottom of the WINNT.sif is

I have checked and the files ARE in i386 of my boot media.

I have also just tried leaving nLite open while i slipstream the drivers [method2]

Where should the finisher be?

Keith

Srill having issues though, the install does not read the unattened settings and Windows code etc etc

Hi, I have been using nLite to build the .iso

Extract the XP CD into a folder C:\xp
I build the unattended section only in nLite,
Run DP_Base and slipstream drivers using method 2'
Build the iso with nLite
Either rin from USB (virtual cd) or run on a Virtual Machine

Don't have a CD of XP, my company are volume licence customers and windows XP is in zip format downloaded directly from MS licence site, it's self extracting so simply extract to folder

Forgive the interjection, i wonder what current the HDD is rated for in Amps.  It should be stamped on the drive; beside the 5V rating.

See this post for more info, if applicable.  http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic. … 952#p46952

Update!

I seem to have it working, but only if I create a WINNT.SIF file myself using sysprep, copy this to the i386 folder and allow DP_Base to modify this. If I let DP_base to create the WINNT.SIF it cannot find the paths!

I installed this new iso onto a clean VM but cannot see the driver finisher running, so not sure about this path, where is this located?

Thanks
Keith

This is the WINNT.SIF, I created this in sysprep then DP_Base modified the last bit, I cannot see anything different than the one DP_Base creates myself?

This WILL run the Regional settings & productkey etc, if I use nLite/DP_Base created/Modifies one I am prompted for user input

Not too sure the DPsFnshr.exe is running though, does this produce a GUI?

simple example:

Device draws 1 amp ...  port supplies .5 amp.
device has insufficent power and runs , but not properly (barely limping along). As the overload on the circuit extends over a period of time it overheats the protection circuit and it interupts the power (a brown out / low voltage / insufficient current / lack of sufficient power issue). This manifests itself as a copy error.  Obviously the device will draw more power when it is working than when it is idle, during the copy process the HDD is at full current draw for an extended period of time.

Power circuits will tolerate being over loaded for short periods of time. Most power supplies are not 100% "Duty cycle" if you look they will be rated at say 75% duty cycle. that means that a 500 watt power supply will run at it's peak rating of 500 watts for a breif period, say a few seconds. It's "nominal" or continuous rating is 75% of 500 watts or 425 watts. Thus not all 500 watt power supplies are actually 500 watts. Which is why some cost 100 dollars and some cost 35 dollars. the higher priced ones are 100% duty and the cheap ones may only be 60% duty (your cheap 500 watt supply is really only a 300 watt.)  While this 500 will boot your computer and possably install the OS once you start a game or fire up that autocad program or watch a movie then your PC blue screens and poops out. You were over 300 watts for too long ...

Worth looking at, may be a possable cause, may not. Many external USB hubs and other devices have their own power supply just for this reason.

I had a 2.5 HDD case that was USB sometimes i could run it off the usb cable sometimes i had to also connect the "extra" USB power cable. (thus it would draw power from TWO USB ports or the USB port and the Keyboard port becuase the single USB port had insufficeint power to run the HDD properly.

tech dude additionally points out that cheap cables also will cost you some power (voltage drop) on top of what the device needs.

The lights are on... but nobody is home .

finisher is in the OEM folder. (you really couldn't find it on your own???)

the DPsFnshr.log will be in your windows folder (%SystemRoot%) after (if and when) it runs.

I still cant get the DPsFnshr to run, the .exe file copies over but it seems to fail with "cannot find settings file"
