Bâshrat the Sneaky

Thank you. When I get home I'll compare to find the problem.

Do you have the same problem when using the 5.4 Catalysts from a regular download? Because I haven't changed anything major...

Did you have the same problem with older drivers?

In any batch file that you execute manually.

What versions of the ATI Catalysts or Omega's did you try?

Downloaded, checked, it's a null-update for Windows XP 32-bit.

Is it a Mobility? Please post its HWID!

DriverPack MassStorage will require some more work and I want to test EVERYTHING this time. So the targeting date will be changed from today to June first, that is Wednessday. I think the V5.06 series will beat the current DriverPacks in case of stability

SEARCH first THEN post!!! notepad++_setup.exe /S should do the trick.

I see that's even alot easier! To set the external harddrive as device drivers source: REM +================================================= ==========+ REM | Finding EXTERNAL DRIVEletter. | REM |-----------------------------------------------------------| SET TAGFILE=\external.tag FOR %%i in (c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z) DO IF EXIST "%%i:%TAGFILE%" set EXTERNAL_DRIVE=%%i: REM +================================================= ==========+ REM | Editable variables. | REM |-----------------------------------------------------------| SET DPDIRROOT=%EXTERNAL_DRIVE% SET DPDIR=%DPDIRROOT%\D REM +================================================= ==========+ REM | Scanning for driverdirectories. | REM |-----------------------------------------------------------| %EXTERNAL_DRIVE%\OEM\bin\SetDevicePath.exe %DPDIR% To UNset the external harddrive as device drivers source: (will set the default one back) REM +================================================= ==========+ REM | Scanning for driverdirectories. | REM |-----------------------------------------------------------| %EXTERNAL_DRIVE%\OEM\bin\SetDevicePath.exe Of course same remarks as the above still matter. You can download the necessary files from the Sticky 'SOLVED: Drivers from CD'. If you have any questions left, feel free to ask.

Then your %WinDir%\system32 folder is protected? Because robocopy.exe should get copied there. It seems it didn't, only possible reason is that one. Though there might be another cause: did you remove copy.exe from %WinDir%\system32?

I got a reply from Patje, and I'm adding support for it! Let's hope it will work this time! (still resolving some incompatibilities between the 2 .inf files...)

How did you start the batch file? -select, double-click/enter -cmd /C <batchfile> -start <batchfile> ?

It must be that... but that was solved some time ago... unfortunately it seems that this problem has returned AGAIN? :s :'( Anyone else with the same problem?

The X300 GPU is supported, a quote from the driver's .inf file: "RADEON X300 Series" = ati2mtag_RV370, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_5B60&SUBSYS_1B601002 "RADEON X300 Series Secondary" = ati2mtag_RV370, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_5B70&SUBSYS_1B611002 As you can see, it is supported (along with it's secondary display ability). As this seems to be an isolated problem, it might be a case of file corruption, that might have occurred during the DriverPack download or during the extraction or during the readout - in one of these last 2 cases it's probable that you've overclocked your system or that you've got instable RAM. Could you verify these last things are NOT the case?

It is for an UNattended installation, I presume? In case of an UNattended installation: use method 2, edit I386\presetup.cmd to have this: REM +===========================================================+ REM | Finding EXTERNAL DRIVEletter. | REM |-----------------------------------------------------------| SET TAGFILE=\external.tag FOR %%i in (c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z) DO IF EXIST "%%i:%TAGFILE%" set EXTERNAL_DRIVE=%%i: REM +===========================================================+ REM | Editable variables. | REM |-----------------------------------------------------------| SET DPDIRROOT=%EXTERNAL_DRIVE% SET DPDIR=%DPDIRROOT%\D REM +===========================================================+ REM | Make sure we are in System32. | REM |-----------------------------------------------------------| REM CD /D %SystemRoot%\system32 REM +===========================================================+ REM | Scanning for driverdirectories. | REM |-----------------------------------------------------------| %EXTERNAL_DRIVE%\OEM\bin\SetDevicePath.exe %DPDIR% REM +===========================================================+ REM | Enable installation of unsigned drivers. | REM |-----------------------------------------------------------| START %EXTERNAL_DRIVE%\OEM\bin\WatchDriverSigningPolicy.exe You'll have to make sure you have: A) the drivers in UNCOMPRESSED form in the 'D' folder at the root of your external HDD B) a tagfile called 'external.tag' at the root of your external HDD .... If the above does not work, it means the drive is not being recognised automatically.

Yes, that's the guide you should use.

Please mail them to me.

LOL Sanjay, how many violations can you commit? 1. double post 2. double not-search 3. post in a topic, asking a question that is replied in the FIRST POST? Yes, that's right, the reducing of size hasn't changed a bit. If you were unsure about that, that should be the only question I saw here! Please try to do your best more next time!

It WILL come I just don't have the time for it ATM...

SEARCH next time!!!!!! you're too lazy Topic closed.

... but that even involves more work. So I'd recommend to just copy all the included files

Is it an external HDD on USB/FireWire or on SATA?

The 'drivers from cd' method cannot be used for mass storage drivers You should use the txtsetup.sif method, here you can find a link

... that's because ther isn't anything 'abnormal' about them, just slipstream them as referenced in the guide.
