@muevelonyc Yes, this is correct. You can't download graphic pack A and the sound pack at this moment. Bashrat is working on them in order to get the control panels to work. See this treath for more info Edit: Please only post your question in 1 topic, now I need to answer it two times

Your 6600GT is supported by 66.93 Check this link for more information about these drivers. If you use the winnt.sif methode, your driver needs to be WHQL!

I think i may have an answer for this. To do this you need: - AutoIT - Deamon Tools - A program to grap an image (.ISO) for a cd (I use Ulta ISO) Make an ISO for every CD that you have. put all those ISO's on a DVD. With Deamon tools You can mount an unmount ISO's trough a commandline. I use this AutoIT line to mount an ISO: Run ("C:\Program Files\D-Tools\daemon.exe -mount 0,D:\Install\battlefield\BFV_1.iso") And this AutoIT line to unmount an ISO: Run ("C:\Program Files\D-Tools\daemon.exe -unmount 0") Check deamon tools help file for more info about using the command line. Now here's a part of my AutoIt script that I use in order to install Battlefield Vietnam. These lines I use to switch from CD nr. 1 to CD nr. 2: WinWaitActive("Setup Needs The Next Disk", "Please insert disk 2 that contains the file data3.cab.") Run ("C:\Program Files\D-Tools\daemon.exe -unmount 0") Sleep(2000) Run ("C:\Program Files\D-Tools\daemon.exe -mount 0,D:\Install\battlefield\BFV_2.iso") Sleep(6000) WinActivate ("Setup Needs The Next Disk", "Please insert disk 2 that contains the file data3.cab.") Send("{ENTER}") I will now explain the lines WinWaitActive("Setup Needs The Next Disk", "Please insert disk 2 that contains the file data3.cab.") This line tells AutoIT to wait till the setup asks for CD nr. 2 Run ("C:\Program Files\D-Tools\daemon.exe -unmount 0") This line is used to unmount CD nr. 1 Sleep(2000) I've put in a sleep of 2 seconds. This is to be sure that the ISO is fully unmounted Run ("C:\Program Files\D-Tools\daemon.exe -mount 0,D:\Install\battlefield\BFV_2.iso") This line mounts CD nr. 2 Sleep(6000) A six seconds sleep to fully mount the image. (just to be on the safe side) WinActivate ("Setup Needs The Next Disk", "Please insert disk 2 that contains the file data3.cab.") This line makes the "Please insert disk 2 ...." Window the active window (It places it in front of other windows) Send("{ENTER}") And finally, the enter button is pressed and the setup continues. If you plan to use this, you ofcourse need to change the lines in order to make it work Hope this helps! Erik

because of some bugs with the mass storage pack, this pack is currently not supported. All other packs can be used. For more info: check this topic, or check the changelog (see your basepack)

ARGH! It all looked so well but then, when the setup started @T-39 I had this error: EDIT: I use Base pack V 5.0.2.5 and I use methode 1

@mextrom It seems txtsetup.sif is missing this value atapi = "IDE CD-ROM (ATAPI 1.2)/PCI IDE Controller" can you please search for line in notepad (in my txtsetup.sif it is line 22404 It is somewhere under [sCSI] ) and tell me if you can find the entry? (if so, is it the same as the one i posted?) P.S. mabye a stupid question, but do you use mass storage pack V 5.02? Erik EDIT 1: Which methode do you use? EDIT 2: Next time if you have a BTS driverpack problem, please post in this topic. This help to keep things in one place.

@ lilweirddude: The files weren't deleted. I Checked my virtual HD, and they still existed. The problem was, that the file was cabbed ( C:\DP\G\Graphic_control_panel.CM_ ) @ Bashrat I now tryed an install with all your packs (including mass storage) The first error that I encountered was when I tryed to do set 3 of your base driver. (The RUN_ME.cmd) Check the screen shot for the error message. Although your pack wasn't fully completed, I still tryed it. In text mode I got an error concerning: aliide.sys (fatal) Ofcourse this test can't be taken serious because of the problems I encountered before. Erik EDIT: I use methode 1 EDIT2: I think now that I understand why I get the aliide.sys error. Because of the error (see screen shot) i now have a new folder in my CD root called I386_original In this map are the following files: ADPU160M.sy_ ALIIDE.sy_ DAC2W2K.sy_ DAC960NT.sy_ DPTI2O.sy_ HPT3XX.sy_ MRAID35X.sy_ QL12160.sy_ ULTRA.sy_ I think that if i put these files in the i386 folder (they are not in the folder at all)everything will work fine again. I only don't have the time to test it today.

Hey Bashrat, I tested the new Driverbase with Methode 1 on a clean XP SP2 CD (without the mass storage pack). AND IT WORKED!! The setup went fine! There are only 2 minor errors. Both the Graphic and the sound control panel give me an error. Setup can't find them. I think I may have found the reason. Both control panels are still cabbed. (Sound_Control_Panel.CM_ ) I don't know if this is because is use a virtual machine. I will test the pack again shortly, This time with the mass storage pack included Good Job Erik

Hey Bâshrat, Thanks for the new BASE driver pack. A lot of bugs are fixed !! But as you already predicted, not all bugs are solved. (I choose to also use your MassStorage pack for the test) This time I did my windows install from a clean XP SP2 CD I got my first error message in textmode (the blue screen part) ERROR1: (not fatal) the file txtsetup.oem created an unexpected error <18> in line 1747 D:\xpsprtm\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.C. This error was a know issue, but as you can see, some numbers changed (see one of my previews posts ERROR2,3,4: (fatal) These errors are inside txtsetup.oem basically all 3 line under SCSI are wrong. The correct lines (in order to let the setup proceed) should be: AMCC = "AMCC 3ware 9000 Series SATA RAID Controller for Windows" AMCC2 = "AMCC 3ware 7000/8000 Series ATA RAID Controller for Windows" 3ware = "3ware Escalade 6000 Storage Switch for Windows 2000/XP" ERROR 5: (fatal) This is the last error that I encountered during my testing (I couldn't solve it so I got stuck Dutch message Ongeldige brondiskette opgegeven op regel 1 in sectie Files.SCSI.3ware. This also has something to do with txtsetup.oem I hope this helps to solve some errors. EDIT: I rewrote the error 1 message, I hadn't reported an important detail. It's seems like txtsetup.oem is the problem here also. EDIT2: I use methode 1 Erik

@Sonic: This is a known error in Bashrat's pack. A new version of the base pack will be released soon. Check this topic for more info

@ Bâshrat: Thank you very much for your fast support . As soon as the fixed pack is out, I will test it on a clean XP SP2 CD (and on a clean XP SP2 harddisk install as well) Thanks again.

Hey Bashrat, I found some errors as well. I install from a second hard drive using Winnt32.exe (when doing this, $OEM$ must be inside the i386 folder. I put them both inside i386 and in the root of my installation to be sure. This isn't the problem) I use all driver packs, and I use method 1 The first 3 error occur before Textmode setup, somewhere before T=54 (No typo, when you install from a second hard drive (or a network share) by using Winnt32.exe, it copy's some files to the drive were you want to install (this setup part goes really fast)) I will put the error message both in English and Dutch (I have a Dutch windows version, and I don't want to make language errors during my translation. ERROR 1: Er is een fout opgetreden tijdens het kopieren van bestand DriverLangaugemap.xml naar C:\win-nt$.~BT\$OEM$ bestand kon niet worden gevonden An error occurred copying the file DriverLangaugemap.xml to C:\win-nt$.~BT\$OEM$ the file could not be found ERROR 2: Er is een fout opgetreden tijdens het kopieren van bestand 3WareRun.exe naar C:\win-nt$.~BT\$OEM$ bestand kon niet worden gevonden An error occurred copying the file 3WareRun.exe to C:\win-nt$.~BT\$OEM$ the file could not be found ERROR 3: Er is een fout opgetreden tijdens het kopieren van bestand 3WareSrv.exe naar C:\win-nt$.~BT\$OEM$ bestand kon niet worden gevonden An error occurred copying the file 3WareSrv.exe to C:\win-nt$.~BT\$OEM$ the file could not be found Note that these 3 error's are not fatal, when you press ignore, the setup continues Now my computer reboots (as normal) and start the setup like it is from a CD Here I had some errors as well ERROR 4+5: (FATAL) These errors have already been fixed by you, and Glen. I am talking about errors in line 19197 and 22457 in txtsetup.sif Correct code: PCI\VEN_1191&DEV_8002&SUBSYS_80021191= "aec6710s~q" And 1564U3-2= "PM1564U3 Ultra3 Dual Channel" ERROR 6: Another error in txtsetup.sif this time it's line 22462 (FATAL) PM3754U2= "PM3754U2 Ultra2 Single Channel (NON ACPI) must be: PM3754U2= "PM3754U2 Ultra2 Single Channel (NON ACPI)" quote problem ERROR 7: Now textmode is starting unexpected error <0> in line 2166 D:\xpsprtm\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.C. This is a strange error and could be because a damaged file on my second hard drive (which is D:\ ) Error is not fatal ERROR 8: AMCC 3Ware 9000 Series SATA RAID Controller for Windows is not in the [SCSI] section of the INF-file txtsetup.oem FATAL FIX: open txtsetup.oem and search for the line: AMCC = "AMCC 3ware 9000 Series SATA RAID Controller" change this to: AMCC = "AMCC 3ware 9000 Series SATA RAID Controller for Windows" ERROR 9: Cannot find aec6210.sys This error is fatal, and killed my setup I hope this helps solving some problem.

Hey Bâshrat the Sneaky, Thank you very much for your driver packs . Now I can finally do a format on my neighbours’ computer. Off-topic: my neighbour is a complete computer NOOB. He has no windows updates installed, no FW, and no virus scanner. When I scanned his computer with Adaware and Norton, I found over 600 spyware and 22 viruses That the computer still booted can be seen as a miracle On-topic I have the same problem as mc134. I too have a Creative Labs Audigy 2 PCI and use your driver pack. I do get sound, but the control panel gives the same error as Snakesnake had (see last page) I use Runonceex to install the control panel, and I can see the control panel in my configuration panel Also the current drivers you use in your pack are outdated. Your pack uses: Audigy 2 driver version 1.84.50 The newest version is: Audigy 2 driver version 1.84.55 (you’ll probably don’t find it under auto download. Check the manual download page) Download Audigy 2 driver version 1.84.55 Thanks again!! Erik

Hi, Xfire uses the /S switch installing Xfire like this has it's downsites. You won't have a desktop shortcut, and xfire won't autostart when windows boots. But ofcourse you can put these things in yourself. Good luck!!

@JPamplin You are absolutly right. You can't use WINNT32 within DOS. If you want to use WINNT32, you need to use a BARTPE cd. Check here to see how to install Erik

you can uncab a file by using the expand -r command example: expand -r oemlogo.bm_

@Harlay_zhou: Install from second harddrive In this topic you will have the option to us Winnt.exe or winnt32.exe by using a Bart PE cd. I would recommend the last one since winnt.exe does'nt work well with long file names. Good luck!!

WHOOPS sorry mate

@to28dk: I will try to clarify it for you. You can use the "COPY" command to copy files from one destination to another. example: You want to copy the file oemlogo.bmp from your cd drive (d:\ for example) to C:\windows\system32 You can now put in a batch file: COPY "D:\oemlogo.bmp" %systermroot%\system32\" and your file will be copyed. You can also make a selfextracting winrar file (SFX extraction) that automaticly and silently copys your file (use the search to find out how.) Then we've got MCT's suggestion: You can also make windows copy the file automaticly during his setup. To do this, you need to Cab the file (transform oemlogo.bmp in to oemlogo.bm_) this can be done by using the makecab command (makecab oemlogo.bmp) after that you put your cab file in the I386 folder, and you edit the txtsetup.sif file so that windows now copys that file. (the most diffecult methode) These are all diferent methodes to copy the file without using the $$ folder. Hope this helps Erik

I did a 2 second search and found these topics Install from second harddrive Install from second hardrive 2 Try to use the search feature next time

Very Nice program very easy to use, and very effective. I use it to configurate all my applications (always wanted to make a script for that, but i was to lazy )

I made an AutoIT script for CloneDVD Important: You have to rename the installation program to: SetupCloneDVD2.exe (same name as when you download it), you also need to put your script in the same map as your SetupCloneDVD2.exe Script: RUn("SetupCloneDVD2.exe /S") WinWaitActive("CloneDVD2 Setup") Send("{TAB}{ENTER}") Now use in your batch start /wait {your installation patch}\clonedvd.exe No further switch required @Astalavista: I don't know if my script is different from that of nologic, I could find his one. He removed all his AutoIT scripts because some members here don't really act normal when they receive a helping hand , so sad! I learend all my autoIT script knowledge from his scripts. Thanks for the knowlegde Nologic clonedvd.exe

You can do an unattended install from a harddrive, I did it myself. The best way to do so, is by creating a BartPE cd to boot from. The advantage of BartPE, is that it can work with NTFS, and that you can use WINNT32 instead of WINNT. Formating and starting the installation After I used BartPE to boot, I use this script to format the C drive, and to start copying some windows files. @rem SetupMgrTag @echo off title Microsoft Windows XP, Professional Edition Setup set AnswerFile=D:\WINXP\unattend.txt set SetupFiles=D:\WINXP\I386 echo. echo Windows Setup will now format your C:\ drive echo and start the Windows XP installation program. echo. echo If you continue all data on your C:\ drive will be erased! echo. pause echo. echo Formating C:\ . . . echo. FORMAT C: /fs:ntfs /V:Erik_Demon /y cacls C: /p Everyone:F echo. echo Done . . . echo. echo. echo Starting the installation program for Microsoft Windows XP, Professional Edition . . . echo. %SetupFiles%\winnt32.exe /s:%SetupFiles% /unattend:%AnswerFile% /copysource:lang /tempdrive:C /syspart:C echo Done . . . echo. echo. echo Restarting Computer . . . exit. THE $OEM$ folder I don't have a clue why, but your $OEM$ folder must be IN your I386 folder, otherwise it won't be copyed. Problems I had The first couple of times my installation failed. I had used NLite to shrink and adjust my CD, I also had the RyanVM lite update pack intergated. Although these things worked great with a CD, i got all sorts of errors(don't know why), so I choose to use a normal XP-CD with only SP2 included. Now my installation works great. Good Luck!!

Maybe this will come in handy: Install from second harddrive
