Jazkal Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 To install drivers, you will need the INF file that goes with the sys file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazkal Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 That is a BartPE plugin INF. Not a system driver INF. You should be able to use the companies normal INF that is used to install the driver on normal windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazkal Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I would contact the company and ask for a good INF file.But to answer your question, yes you could create an INF, it is only a text file. But the problem is that would need to know what needs to be in the INF. For all practical means, you are going to need the company to provide one.

There is ALSO a good ADSI INF Plugs in at : http://www.deployvista.com/Repository/Wind...73/Default.aspx Please email if you have need. J P Morgan - j.p.morgan@lmco.conRyan,As i explained on the Phone, the process that i got to work for me was:First, Mount the BOOT.WIM, from Win Pe 2 creation output sub-dir, and make some Registry changes to the SYSYTEM hiveSecondly, copy EPHD files into the appropriate sub-dirs---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(A) Mount BOOT.WIN and make Registry changes to SYSTEM hive. (1) I wont go into HOW to Mount the BOOT.WIM, using imagex, i assume you know how to use WAIK and create the 'WINPE_X86" sub-dir ie : imagex.exe /mountrw c:\winpe_x86\iso\sources\boot.wim 1 c:\winpe_x86\mount (2) Once the BOOT.WIM has been create and Mounted, EXECUTE REGEDIT.EXE (a) LOAD the 'SYSTEM' Hive UNDER HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE the path would be : c:\winpe_x86\mount\windows\system32\config\ and the file is SYSTEM (B) give it a Hive name of EPHDSYSTEM (FOR EXMAPLE) under the EPHDSYSTEM\CONTROLSET001\SERVICES KEY CREATE A NEW 'SERVICE" KEY (1) Create a Key called "ephdxlat" (without the quotes) (a) under this key create TWO DWORD keys (1) start DWORD 3 (2) type dword 1 (d) Edit the Registry key value under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\EPHDSYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{4D36E967-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}] (1) Edit the "UpperFilters" Key and ADD the text "exphdxlat" (without the quites) such that the MULTI-SZ has a value of : PartMgr ephdxlatTHAT SHOULD DO IT..NOW , UNLOAD the Registry Hive .(B) Copy filesAdd these files to the build directory and place them in the /windows/System32/.EPHD_Access_utility.exeEPCL32.dllEPCRYPTO.dllThe next file is to be added to the /windows/system32/drivers/EPHDXLAT.sys Now, UNMOUNT and COMMIT the changes to the BOOT.WINNOW, copy the NEW BOOT.WIM to your Flash Key (thats what i use) or recreate your ISONow, BOOT from your WinPe 2.0 media Now, at the Winpe 2 Dos prompt type x:\windows\system32\EPHD_Access_utility.exeNow enter the ID and PasswordYou probably will get an ERROR box complaining about "not running Defrag", Click OK to continueYou should then get a dialog box that you now have access to the encrypted drive..Click OKYou should now 'see' the files on the "C:" drive.Comments: I find the vendor , "PC Guardian" to be somewhat arrogant and hard to deal with. Their reply was "we dont support vista". they ALSO require you to have a maint contract, even to look at their FAQS. What gives with this, they must think that their product is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I dont work for the company, i ONLY used their product TWICE, to see what was so great about it, and within two days i was able to get it working with Win pe 2.0, They have FULL access to the sources..I HOPE the above works for those that need this capability.Enjoy..J P Morgan - j.p.morgan@lmco.com Edited June 25, 2007 by jpmorgan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paxamime Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 You can also do this while in PE...Open a command prompt and type: drvload D:\Drivers\Driver.infReplace D:\Drivers\Driver.inf with the location of the inf file and it will load your driver in to PE. This must be a real inf file though not a BartPE inf file. And it will get dumped out once the system reboots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
