anlaoch Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 Does anyone know if it's possible to take the SATA drivers for different makes of device and merge them onto one floppy? I'm thinking it'd be handy for using with a bartpe even if you weren't sure of the make of the hdd.All help appreciated.Thanks in advance.
jaclaz Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 No, it's not easily done, but you may want to try grub4dos and "Virtual" floppy images:http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=20543This way you can choose among a number of floppy images.If you use gzip compressed images or (using memdisk) .zip compressed ones, a floppy image will be really small, and several will fit on the single floppy.This way is also easy to add a new driver or "mantain" the collection of drivers.jaclaz
derniwi Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 Hi,why don't you integrate the drivers into Bart PE?Nils.
anlaoch Posted December 3, 2008 Author Posted December 3, 2008 I'm not familiar enough with the BartPE process: I've used it once or twice only. However, let's say for arguements sake there are 10 or so popular sets of SATA drivers in common use, I didn't think BartPE would allow you to integrate 10 sets of cat, inf, & sys files. Will it allow that?Thanks.
derniwi Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 Hi,give it a try.In your Bart PE folder should a folder "drivers" exist.Usually there is a subfolder "storage" (but this is only nice to have).Create for each floppy disk a new subfolder there and copy your floppy disk containing TXTSETUP.OEM with the complete structure into this folders.Then it should work.Regards, Nils.
jaclaz Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 Will it allow that?Yes, it will.The problem might come with some of (unfortunately very common) drivers that use the same driver filename for different drivers.The "usual" easiest way is to use BTS Driverpacks:http://downloads.littlbuger.info/index.php?dlid=915http://driverpacks.net/DriverPacks/DriverPack.php?pag=bjaclaz
