Topic: How I Test a pack of drivers and why some of your drivers aren't good

I have two methods for test drivers and i want share with us

Only For Windows XP 32 bits:

1. If the drivers can not be added with the program PeBuilder or WinPE, the drivers are corrupted.
2. If the drivers, can not be added with Acronis Image versions 10+ the drivers are bad
3. All drivers compilated with backup are bad! backup have missed files.
4. Only drivers compilating exploring Original CD/DVD drivers are good.
5. The last version not neccesary better than old version of a driver. All drivers are correct if compilated correctly
6. If the .CAB files can not be opened, the driver are bad

Actually my collection is 7 Gb of drivers, but because I live in bolivia, where internet connection is very poor and very cost, then i can't upload my collection, and only can share this methods.

Hello, and welcome to the DriverPacks forum!

Can you verify that the driverpacks were downloaded correctly?  Hash values are provided on the main download pages.
   http://driverpacks.net/driverpacks/wind … pset/12.03
   http://driverpacks.net/driverpacks/wind … rage/12.03
Additionally, i like using 7zip to "Test Archive".

Edit:  can you indicate which specific packs you have issues with?

I don't have idea but around 15% of your driver pack

I can't make list, only your staff test your pack

The only drivers you should be integrating into any PE disc are Mass Storage and MAYBE network (LAN, WLAN) or chipset.
So can you tell us what drivers in dpms are corrupted?  I tested in UBCD4win (PEbuilder) and had no errors.
In your screenshot you're trying to integrate audio/sound drivers into PE.  No wonder they failed!

Re: How I Test a pack of drivers and why some of your drivers aren't good

the only supported method of adding drivers to PE is to create the plugins with DriverPacks BASE.

If you add our packs using the method recomended then you will find no driver errors.

If you attempt to add drivers as extracted from the packs they will fail... If you could do this we would not have written a program to create the BartPE plugins. big_smile

Sound will definatly not work... the issue is not with the drivers the issue is with the HWPnP plugin that is used to support advanced drivers in PE. If a version of HWPnP is ever written to support sound then we will enable BartPE plugin for sound. Until then advanced drivers will fail at PE. This is not an issue with the drivers it is a limitation of the PE environment. PE was never intended to be an OS replacment, it is an installation and repair tool and nothing more. (sound is not needed to repair or install windows big_smile)

Re: How I Test a pack of drivers and why some of your drivers aren't good

I only use BartPe for test, not for use, because I only use driver packs for add to windows with nLite.

Similar: The Acronis have a level bug, the collection compilated with Acronis omite some files in Intel Graphics card (.INF is not only file list, it's also run some files and thera are a litle bug in Acronis)

I only use Acronis for test, not for use pack drivers.

Sorry for my english

Re: How I Test a pack of drivers and why some of your drivers aren't good

you are not able to add driverpacks to your installation with nLite... that will DEFINATELY fail.

the only way to reliably add the DriverPacks to your install is with DriverPacks BASE. If you could we would not provide the DriverPacks BASE program.

Please read the instructions, this is clearly stated.

Thanks for reporting your issues with the packs...
however both of your issues are related to User Error. Please read our tutorials and forum and use the DriverPacks the way we recommend and you will have no issues going forward.

Have a great day.
