USB driver missing?

[lwperreault]

Got my unpacked image down to about 380 meg after about the 3rd try. Then I tried to load a couple programs via USB and encountered an "install drivers" message. I inserted my orginal XP pro disk into the CD and it still couldn't find the drivers. I'm trying to build a really fast no frills Audio recording computer. Any suggestions? Cheers, Lucius

EDIT: lol apparently going through my ini file i've also removed the USB audio support and firewire audio support. I figure I'm going to need those

When you say 3rd try, I hope you don't mean three runs/sessions of nLite over the same source (folder with XP files). You have to start with a new copy every time. And also what you said. Now, USB support is native to XP, but it was constantly updated by MS, and I see you are using XP SP0 and not integrating service packs. Thirdly, chipset drivers update the southbridge on your motherboard, thus USB functions. Just for the sake of comparison, most USB drivers on my system are version 5.1.2600.5512 from Service Pack 3. Another thing: I wouldn't remove DirectX. If you want to cut down on space, Manual Install and Upgrade will save you 40MB (unless you are going to use the CD for manual install/upgrade).

My usb stick didn't work, it has a couple of programs that I need for my recording.

Thanks for the replys folks, I appreciate it.

3rd try different folder each time (I followed the directions).

That XPSP0 is odd because I used my XP SP2 disk. I've never updated any service packs on this computer because:

1) it has always worked the way I needed it with SP2 so I've never needed to update it.

2) It never sees the outside world (other then when I use a crossover cable to transfer files if my external HDD is elsewhere)

on a side note, this Nlite program has sped up my computer immensely. If i could get the USB to work then I would be extremely happy. Cheers, Lucius

EDIT: note, I did a fresh install of the full XP SP2 on to my flash drive and everything functions just fine so I likely removed something I shouldn't have. I'm building a couple more images today to see if I can solve it.

Hi,

I am in the same boat.

I installed windows xp sp3 which was done through nlite.

Now I cannot use my flash drives usb sticks on there is it doesn't recoginse any of them.

I tried several things with no luck.

I really hope someone can help as I do Not want to reinstall it again!

Unfortunately new posters very rarely come back to report how their problem was solved. At leat this one read the big red message up his screen.

I haven't fixed it yet. I suspect I'll just go backwards and just add stuff till my USB works again. Cheers, Lucius

NOTE: I discovered it was a BIOS setting on my computer. Everything works just fine without redoing the image. In know that wasn't the solution you were looking for. Good luck on your problem. Cheers, Lucius
