Actual only for VistaPE version 11.

In version 11 of VistaPE i add new logic for working with driver, now you can place all your drivers to "Drivers" folder at root of any device (CD/DVD/USB/HDD), vpeldr can find it and process, it search for "PCI\VEN_xxxx&DEV_xxxx" strings in inf file, and add drivers for present hardware, for detecting hardware i use "devcon.exe", for faster drivers processing you can use "Drivers index tool for VistaPE" script, it make "drvindex.cfg" file in drivers folder with index for all drivers.

Now it fully tested only with LAN drivers.

drvindex.cfg syntax and example:
#vendor device path_to_folder_with_driver

100B 0020 Drivers\L\N2

100B 0020 Drivers\L\N8

100B 0020 Drivers\L\Ns1

100B 0022 Drivers\L\D4

100B 0022 Drivers\L\L2

How it work:
sys->\windows\system32\drivers
inf->ANSI->disable CopyFiles command->\windows\inf
cat->NULL
other->\windows\system32
and delete INFCACHE.1 file - without this wpeinit can not find new drivers :cheers:

Now, that is a great addition! I'll have to try it out.

Looks like time to go to v11.

NightMan,

I need help with this. I'm trying to add the driver for a Promise Technology Ultra133 TX2 Ultra ATA controller card. I know I have a driver that works because I can boot a Vista DVD and load the driver after I start the install process. The drive attached to the Promise card becomes visible.

I can't get it working in WinBuilder/VistaPE. I'm using WinBuilder 074 with VistaPE 011. I have devcon.exe in the Tools folder. I also downloaded the "Drivers index tool for VistaPE" script. I put the Promise drivers in the Projects\VistaPE-Beta\Drivers folder. It didn't work. The drive attached to the Promise controller is not visible. I guess I don't know what you mean by placing the drivers in the Drivers folder at the root of the device. Can you help me understand where to place the drivers?

Neither method worked. I've emailed the driver to you as requested.

Thanks for your help.

NightMan,

I was able to write a script to get the Promise Ultra133 TX2 card working in VistaPE. I sent it to you by email.

Suggest adding Marvell's latest NDIS 6.0 drivers for their Yukon gigabit ethernet adapters to your drivers-lan.script package. It's a widely used adapter (in ASUS mobos, for example) and, for me at least, the NDIS 5.1 Yukon driver (yk51x86.sys) that is currently included in your LAN drivers package does not work under VistaPE.

You can get the latest drivers directly from the Marvell web site (link) or you can extract them from the drivers_yukon6.script (attached to this message) that I built myself.

I think there is a problem with the driver index and integration. If you add new network drivers and use this to integrate the drivers diskpart no longer functions. Diskpart works fine until I enable the driver index and add a Pro1000 nic driver. Now diskpart hangs when creating disks.

I'm working on a VistaPE script to add drivers during build time. I need help on the syntax to open a command prompt and pass it a command.

ShellExecute,Open,"cmd.exe","/k #$q%SourceDir%\Tools\PETools\peimg.exe#$q /list /verbose %TargetDir%\Windows"

%SourceDir% is '...\Windows AIK', and %TargetDir% cannot have spaces in the path. If spaces in both paths, there is a method using brackets '()' posted by Nickzzz somewhere.

... not sure if this is what you are after.

Regards :)

Thanks allanf. That's what I was looking for. I used:

ShellExecute,Open,"cmd.exe","/c #$q%pTextBox1%\peimg.exe#$q /inf=%pTextBox2% %TargetDir%\Windows"

Where pTextBox1 is the path to peimg.exe and pTextBox2 is path to the driver including the inf file name. It worked.

I have an asus-a8n premium motherboard with a silicon raid controller, sil3114, on it.
When I boot from the vistape cd I don't see my harddisks on the sil3114 controller, they are in a raid 10 mirror+striping.
I only see my ide harddisk.

When I looked in the sata.7z file I saw the drivers for the sil3114 controller.
How come it doesn't work for me? Or could I have done something wrong?

Max.

I had the same problem with my SiI3132 eSATA card. The drivers were in the "pack" but apparently didn't install correctly because the card and attached drive weren't detected. I installed the drivers using a drivers script and it worked fine.

I'm having problem with VistaPE detecting Network drivers. for example I boot VistaPE on an Acer 4920 notebook, it's network controller is Broadcom NetLink Gigabit Ethernet, but after booting, VistaPE doesn't detect the network controller, even trying manually it still won't work, I compared the driver that I will use in Win XP, it's the same inf and .sys file which is b57win32.inf and b57xp32.sys

This is the line found in b57win32.inf , the hardware id is the correct one with the network controller.
%BCM5787% = BCM5750A1MBDFS.XpInst, PCI\VEN_14e4&DEV_1693&SUBSYS_011C1025

But VistaPE wouldn't install it when I searched from x:\windows\inf . Is it because it is XP driver but not Vista driver? I had to manually search from the list for the driver to work in x:\windows\inf . Is there a way that it would load the network driver when booting VistaPE?
