Hi!
I need to use one of those drivers to install a RAMDrive in my WinPE 1.6 based on Win2K3...
-RAMDISK Sample provided by Microsoft site ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q257405/ )
-RAMDISK driver from Win2K3 installation files ( I386\RAMDISK.IN_ and RAMDISK.SY_ )
I would like to install it without applying registry directly into setupreg.hiv before booting WinPE...
Is it possible?
Can you provide a clear method to do that?
Thanks!
ShrimpyOne
P.S.: I'm really cheap and I don't want to pay for a RAMDISK Driver to be legit, so use the free drivers that I've handy...

Hi!
I don't use Nlite
I don't want to use third party software, even autoit... I want to do it the way it is supposed to be done..
There must be a way to do it, to disable this warning...
even if I added the -quiet swith to sysprep.exe it still brings thos **** popups!
Thanks!

Hi!
I do a SysPrep on a machine and integrate some Mass Storage drivers in it...
For some drivers, I get a warning titled "Hardware Installation", I'm tired and I want to get rid of them...
I've tried 2 things...
First, I specified this value in Sysprep.inf file....
[unattended]
OEMPnPSigningPolicy=ignore
Second, I changed the computer "Driver Signing Options" to Ignore.
I keep getting those **** warnings.
I did a little script with AutoIt (www.hiddensoft.com) to answer those popups, but I can't use it anymore, so I need a "legit" way to do it...
Thanks for your help!

Press Any Key,
What are you talking about???
You were fellin' lonely and want to talk?
Try IRC instead of sendin' s*** to my post buddy!

I would like to take the time to bring to your attention that I know how to manually do this setting...
It may be written newbie right under my name, but you seems more like a newbie to me!

Hi!
I want to change my registry to make every user's Windows Explorer to show files and folders as a list instead of icons...
I've looked in TweakUI, but this setting isn't available...
I've even bought Microsoft Press - Microsoft Windows XP Registry Guide, but didn't find any answer...
Is there any place to find this kind of information?
Thanks!

Hi!
And you got 3 stars..?!?!
I deserve maybe 10 stars so...
Registry keys for autologon and also force a domain name...

Ok!
Let's talk about it...
I am on an active directory, and when I create a new computer with a syspreped disk image, after the sysprep process (hardware detect, join domain), the computer run something (from section [GuiRunOnce] of sysprep.inf) as administrator...
My problem was that the admin guy had force a registry to write the domain name as the default domain name to prevent error from dummy people...
So at the computer first boot, it applies Group Policies, so it change the default domain name for the computer name to the domain name and the computer cannot log on automatically with the credential supplied and failed...
Have a nice understanding...

Hi!
I did a disk image like I did many times before, but this one is different...
It work as well as needed in the sysprep part, it discovers the hardware and add the computer to the domain...
Then when it boot for the first time, it is supposed to boot on the local computer with the administrator account... but, for an unknown reason, it try to boot with the administrator user on the domain instead of the local computer...
I opened my disk image using Ghost explorer and grab the software registry hive, load it on my windows XP and check the winlogon keys...
Nothing has been set like defaultdomain or autoadminlogon, so I wonder where it takes the domain name?
How can I solve this since all my automated process is stoped by this required human intervention???
Thanks!

Hi!
I've created a WinPE CD...
I added BUILDOPTIONALCOMPONENTS with all swiches available to support vbs files and everything else...
I've created an application in vb6 that do this...
Dim WshShell As Object
Dim ObjExec As Object
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set ObjExec = WshShell.Exec("something.exe")
I have an error:
Run-time error '429':
ActiveX component can't create object
I've checked in my registry, everything that is supposed to be written by OC.bat is there...
What is missing???
Thanks!

Hi!
Here is how to add a 32Mb Ramdrive to an existing WinPE CD..
First... copy all the CD files on a writeable media... do I need to say this!?!?!?
Then copy the file RamDriv.sys from BartPEBuiler Ramdrive plugin to [WinPE CD]:\i386\System32\Drivers
Then Run this command...
REG LOAD HKLM\WinPE [WinPE CD]\i386\System32\setupreg.hiv
Then add this registry file...
RamDrive.reg begin:

Hi!
I think I've done it...
Some informations were missing... here is what I did...
To Add a mass storage driver, you need 4 informations...
1-PCI ID String
2-INF file name
3-SYS file name
4-Device driver description quoted
Copy INF files in [WinPE CD]:\i386\inf
Copy SYS files in [WinPE CD]:\i386\system32\drivers
Copy the remaining files in [WinPE CD]:\i386\system32
Once you did that...
Open the file [WinPE CD]:\i386\txtsetup.sif
Locate the section named "HardwareIdsDatabase"
Add each PCI ID like this...
[PCI ID String] = [sYS File name (Without .sys)]
Then locate the section named "SCSI.Load"
Add each INF File name without .inf like this...
[sYS File name (Without .sys)] = [sYS File name],4
the ",4" means that the file is in [WinPE CD]:\i386\system32\drivers
Then locate the section named "SCSI"
Add each INF File name without .inf like this...
[sYS File name (Without .sys)] = [Device driver description quoted]
And it worked as well as I needed...
Thanks to all of you that helped me on that problem...

Hi!
I've tried everything, nothing seems to work!
I have few controller that I need to support on my WinPE CD...
When I have a WinPE CD without mass storage drivers in it, it boots fine and
I can press F6 to specify a driver, it works fine.
I've tried to add them by copying the floppy in a folder (Intel1) in
[WinPE]:\i386\system32 and then add the folder name in the file winpeoem.sif
like this...
[OemDriverParams]
OemDriverRoot=""
OemDriverDirs=Intel1
And I didn't forget to remove the ";" in the beginning of each line...
When I boot the cd like that I got this error message...
File txtsetup.oem caused an unexpected error (18) at
line 1747 in d:\xpsprtm\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c.
Press any key to continue.
So I redownloaded the driver and I've tried again, same error!
I also have tried to add the driver using drvinst.exe
I got no error from drvinst.exe...
I boot the cd correctly, but no disk is found!
How can I add those drivers to my WinPE if those methods doesn't work?
I have about 10 controller driver to add...
How can I do it to be sure it will work.
Please help me I don't want to have 10 floppies to boot every computer...
Thanks a lot!

RAMDrive Challenge!
in Windows PE
Posted
Hi!
It almost work...
I took the Ramdriv.sys provided with BartPE and did the following...
copy ramdriv.sys to system32\drivers folder
write ramdriv.reg to System32
When I boot
I do the following...
Regedit /s RAMDriv.reg
regsvr32 /s %SystemRoot%\System32\netcfgx.dll
factory -minint
netcfg -v -winpe
net start dhcp
net start nla
I have the RAMDrive, but got this message while trying to connect to network...
"Your system is low on virtual memory. To ensure that Windows runs properly, increase the size of your virtual memory paging file. For more information, see Help."
How can I fix this??
