create driver cd to accompany jdeboeck xpcd

[mraeryceos]

You never know what drivers you might need, and you don't always have time to make a custom cd with the right drivers. This is how I've put all the drivers on a cd that aren't on a JDEBoeck win xp cd. If someone has already pointed this out, my apologies. Examples below have specific paths that you should alter to suit your own paths.

 - expand -r -F:* d:\xpcd\i386\driver.cab c:\leftovers\
  - expand -r -F:* d:\xpcd\i386\sp1.cab c:\leftovers\
  - expand -r d:\xpcd\i386\*.in_ c:\leftovers\

Make a batch file of the files that are left. For XPsp1, these are:

expand -r d:\xpcd\i386\ati*.* c:\leftovers\
expand -r d:\xpcd\i386\mwci.dl_ c:\leftovers\

Burn all the files in c:\leftovers onto a cd (Important: On the cd have all files be in a folder named i386 ). I'm not completely sure, but I think windows will look in a non-existant i386 subfolder of the folder you specify, unless the folder you specify is named i386.

edit 20040114:

I got a certain printer to install by putting all the inf files at the root of the cd, and all other files in a folder i386\

The funny thing is that "automatic install from specified location" will still ask you to find where the files are even though it is looking in the correct directory i386\. This is overcome by clicking "Browse...", then clicking "Ok" twice. Next thing I will try is to not expand the files... I originally expanded everything because I thought it would speed things up.

ps. I would recommend attempting to get drivers from manufacturer's sites first, as they may be more recent, but this cd has been handy for me.

I've needed the Windows XP CD to complete another printer installation because the driver cd above didn't have a certain dll. I want people to know that so far this is a lost cause...
