mattthepirate Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 I try adding the drivers from Windows Vista to Windows PE but it says you can't and at the same time thats what its saying to do Here is the readme message from the Windows Vista packageIn this release of "Longhorn" versions of Windows, you will be unable to install mass storage drivers by using the Load driver option on computers with less than 256 MB of memory. To work around this problem, add the additional drivers to the Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) before running Setup. Refer to the Windows Automated Installation Kit for more details about adding drivers to Windows PE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattthepirate Posted September 26, 2005 Author Share Posted September 26, 2005 That readme says you can install it under 256 MB but you need to add the additional drivers to Windows PE. I'm asking if anyone knows how to do it. The help section is not really a help at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizban2 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Matt,you can use drvload.exe or drvinst.exe to inject drivers into the Pe. drvload is the new version of drvinst. Usage:drvload INF [iNF] ...drvload /OFFLINE INF PATH INF A path to a driver's .INF file. In /OFFLINE mode only one c be specified. Wildcards are not processed.OFFLINE Specifies that a driver should be installed into a WinPE ima instead of loaded immediately. PATH A path to the Windows directory of a WinPE image.Examples:drvload c:\drivers\device.infdrvload driver.inf In these examples, the specified driver will be loaded and installed immediately.drvload /offline c:\drivers\device.inf c:\WinPE\Windows In this example, the driver will be installed into the WinPE image stored in the directory C:\WinPE. Notice that instead of supplying drvload with the root directory (C:\WinPE), you must provide the Windows directory (C:\WinPE\Windows). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattthepirate Posted September 27, 2005 Author Share Posted September 27, 2005 How do you path a file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizban2 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 path is just the location of the files that you will use to create the PE, using the offline mode is only needed when you are trying to add drivers to a PE you are creating. Note that you will need win PE 2005 or 2004 to build the proper PE, Not sure if it will work correctly with Bart Pe or not. the Path as is the examples would be the C:\WinPe\Windows\. all the path does is tell drvload were to load the files to.

mattthepirate Posted September 27, 2005 Author Share Posted September 27, 2005 Hey Thanks! I attepted what you said but I must of did it wrong. When I try to install Vista it still says I need 256 MB. What I did was cut and pasted the drivers info files and put them into the Windows PE folder then opened drvinst.
