usb cd writer drivers with no txtsetup.oem

[jtcontre]

Hello all,

I want to make a BARTPE CD with support to my external cd writer. However, the drivers of my cd writer does not have a txtsetup.oem file so I could not use F6 when booting to start the drivers, neither modify winpeoem.sif to do the same thing.

My question is: Does any body now any other way to start the drivers when booting? Or to create a txtsetup.oem file from the drivers?

I have tried to modify the txtsetup.sif file with this lines:

[sourceDisksFiles]

HPUATA.SYS = 1,,,,,,3_,4,1

HPUATA.INF = 1,,,,,,20,0,0

[HardwareIdsDatabase]

USB\VID_03F0&PID_0307 = "HPUATA"

USB\VID_03F0&PID_0207 = "HPUATA"

USB\VID_03F0&PID_0107 = "HPUATA"

[sCSI.Load]

HPUATA = HPUATA.sys,4

[sCSI]

HPUATA = "HP CD Writer Plus Controller Driver"

and the winnt.sif with these ones:

[unattended]

OemPreinstall=Yes

OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\001\HPUATA"

DriverSigningPolice=Ignore

and copy the drivers to Drivers\001\HPUATA.

But when booting the systen hang because an error related to the HPUATA.SYS driver.

Please, Any idea?

Thanks!!!

Doesn't it work WITHOUT any drivers? (those devices SHOULD be plug & play IMO)

Hi Bâshrat the Sneaky,

No, my driver (an hp cd4e) needs to install its own drivers. It is not recognized by windows generic drivers. I don`t know why hp do not use generic drivers!

Oh forgot to ask this one: did you copy HPUATA.SYS to your I386 folder??? Because if you haven't, it's very normal it didn't work! (when you've added those entries to your txtsetup.sif, setup assumes those files are present in the I386 folder!)

question: "did you copy HPUATA.SYS to your I386 folder???"

answer: Ialso forgot to mention it. I also copied all the drivers files to I386 folder, *.inf file to inf folder, and *.sys file to drivers folders.

may the redundancy of these multiple copies affects to the setup?

The exact error it gave me is:

***STOP: 0x0000007E (0XC0000005, 0XFC2FA39B, 0XFC90F394, 0XFC90F094)

***HPUATA.SYS Adress FC2FA39 base at FC2F4000, DateStamp 3baf08ff

ONLY copy the HPUATA.SY_ to your I386 folder, not ANY subfolder!

P.S.: yes, HPUATA.SY_, you should use makecab to compress it. (type makecab help in the console for more info!)
