sixpack Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 hi therei downloaded the new driverpack's from Bâshrat the Sneaky and my cd is now 850 mb the question is, is it posible that windows ask to put in a second cd [with the drivers], and copy's them to c:\ root and continue the installation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incroyable HULK Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 Are you using compression? Because I downloaded all Driver Pack + my Chipset drivers + my graphics drivers and once they are compressed with 7zip, I get a 83Mo archive!The other alternative is to burn your Unattended CD to a 850Mo Media Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCT Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 7zip is only another archive format, download 7-Zip install it, right click files/folder & select "add to archive" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incroyable HULK Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 The short answer is the following:1) Put all your drivers folders in a directory named DP2) Compress the directory with 7zip (Create SFX Archive)3) Put the compressed file in $OEM$\$\4) Add this to your winnt.sif[Unattended]OemPnPDriversPath="DP\L\3C\1;Etc...[GuiUnattended] DetachedProgram="%systemdrive%\DP.exe" Arguments="-y /q /r:n" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incroyable HULK Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Not sure... maybe it has to do with the Compression Process on your computer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incroyable HULK Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Multi-threading Enables or disables Multi-threading compression mode. In Multi-threading mode, 7-Zip will use two threads for compressing. It can speed up compressing speed up to 70-80% on Multi-Processor systems or up to 30% on Pentium 4 with Hyper-Threading.
