Does the drivers uploaded have to be WHQL?

muiz · Post by **muiz** » Tue Jul 29, 2008 9:31 pm

Only for x64.
And yes i know some drivers in the x64 pack are not, but i cant test most cause i dont have that hardware.

Nice work muiz ! Your driverpack is awesome

But why have you abandoned the "MASTER Update Pack" with the full list of hotfixs you did for Pre-SP1 updates

muiz · Post by **muiz** » Sun Aug 03, 2008 12:05 pm

To much work to keep that up to date

avneet25 · Post by **avneet25** » Mon Aug 04, 2008 5:01 pm

Create for example in C: a folder "VISTA_WORK" with no espace ALWAYS
In this folder, create those folders (for example too) :

- VISTADVD (copy extracted files of your Vista DVD)
- MOUNT
- HOTFIXES (copy all your hotfix *.cab or *.msu files)
- DRIVERS (copy your drivers in it)

Open Vista-Tools ...

In "Locations of Vista DVD", clic change, and choose "C:\VISTA_WORK\VISTADVD"

In "Location of Path Mount", clic change, and choose "C:\VISTA_WORK\MOUNT"

In "Location of Hotfixt", clic change, and choose "C:\VISTA_WORK\HOTFIXES"

In "Location of Drivers", clic change, and choose "C:\VISTA_WORK\DRIVERS"

Select your right image in "select image" :
1 = Vista BUSINESS
2 = Vista HOMEBASIC
3 = Vista HOMEPRENIUM
4 = Vista ULTIMATE
5 = Vista HOMEBASIC N
6 = Vista BUSINNES N
7 = Vista STARTER
8 = ??
9 = ??
(If muiz can tell me what 8 & 9 options are ... maybe all images ?)

Check "Mount-RW" - "Intregrate Hotfix (ALL)" - "Integrate Drivers" - "Unmount-COMMIT" and "Make ISO"

And Press START, that's all ...

If you dont wanna see the dos box for hotfix integration check "Hide Command Prompt" on the right of START Button ...

At the end of the work, (can take a while) you will have your NEW VISTA DVD ISO in C:, and you can delete your "VISTA_WORK" folder

Hope it can help ^^

Sorry but why is that the case? x86 doesn't need WHQL?

And if i use the Vista Tools, Will i still get the warning message pop up for not using WHQL drivers?

muiz · Post by **muiz** » Tue Aug 05, 2008 3:47 am

Like i said that only happens in x64

fredpsycho83 · Post by **fredpsycho83** » Tue Aug 05, 2008 8:11 am

Vista-Tools :
- x86 drivers WHQL : no warning message
- x86 drivers non-WHQL : no warning message
- x64 drivers WHQL : no warning message
- x64 drivers non-WHQL : WARNING message

vLite :
- x86 drivers WHQL : no warning message
- x86 drivers non-WHQL : WARNING message
- x64 drivers WHQL : no warning message
- x64 drivers non-WHQL : WARNING message

muiz · Post by **muiz** » Tue Aug 05, 2008 5:29 pm

Yes, thats it.

Now we only have to find out wich drivers in the x64 pack are not WHQL.

Wish there was a program, that would go through driver folders and report non-WHQL drivers, would have made life so much easier...

muiz · Post by **muiz** » Thu Aug 07, 2008 8:27 am

Microsoft has a tool for that , but you need to chack each .sys file manualy as far as i know.
Very time consuming.

@avneet , your log looks fine they all installed.

And i found a tool a while ago , for unasigned drivers in x64.

Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider 1.0
http://www.ngohq.com/home.php?page=dseo

If we can run this during the setup....
Or maybe someone has an idea for this..??

fredpsycho83 · Post by **fredpsycho83** » Thu Aug 07, 2008 10:18 am

I have used in VMware a soft called "ReadyDriver Plus", it is a free tool and it will bypass the blue-screen and start vista normally. I have used it for TCPIP.SYS patched in vista SP1 x86 and x64, works great for all unsigned drivers.

No need to chech each unsigned drivers with this tool.

But i don't know if it can be run "before" drivers installation during vista setup ... i don't think so ... but this is the link for curious :

Muiz, can i have the link for that tool, i will go through all these x64 drivers in you pack, and will let you know which drivers are not WHQL certified.

fredpsycho83 · Post by **fredpsycho83** » Thu Aug 07, 2008 4:55 pm

i have a little problem ... with the DriversPack x86 i think.

I have added in the driverspack my own drivers : dell 2407wfp, microsoft keyboard etc ... in new folders, and when i integrate them, i have a BSOD on VMware at the end of the installation.

So i have redowloaded the "original" driverspack, to integrate drivers ... and the same problem.

I have done a dvd without drivers and it works great. I don't understand, it worked fine until now.

- My WinUpdate Pack x86 + MEGA Update Pack x86 + Bonus x86 + DriversPack x86 = BSOD
- My WinUpdate Pack x86 + MEGA Update Pack x86 + Bonus x86 = OK

Could be the fault of a hotfix in my MEGA Update Pack ?
this is the BSOD

muiz · Post by **muiz** » Thu Aug 07, 2008 8:24 pm

Driver Verifier Manager (Verifier.exe)
The Driver Verifier Manager tool (Verifier.exe) is the preferred way to create and modify Driver Verifier settings and to gather statistics from Driver Verifier. Verifier.exe is located in the %WinDir%\System32 folder for every Windows installation.

I have retested my problem :

- Original ISO Vista SP1 : OK
- Original ISO Vista SP1 + Driverspack x86 = BSOD

The same BSOD in my previous post. Anyone have an idea ? am i alone with this problem ?

I dont have a BSOD in Vmware, so you might check your memory indeed.

fredpsycho83 · Post by **fredpsycho83** » Sat Aug 09, 2008 7:17 am

@shaded26:
"Its usually a driver error. But it can be faulty RAM too."
"It seems I was right assuming is not a hardware problem or at least not defective hardware"

muiz, my RAM is perfectly OK, it a Corsair Dominator CM2X1024-6400C4D.

I really dont understand, i will recheck it but it was fine while i did the test.

muiz · Post by **muiz** » Sat Aug 09, 2008 7:43 pm

I tested again, but no BSOD here

shahed26 · Post by **shahed26** » Sat Aug 09, 2008 11:40 pm

hi muiz

original x86 vista folder= 2.85gb
x86 vista folder + x86 driverpack= 3.05gb

original x64 vista folder= 3.86gb
x64 vista folder + x64 driverpack= 3.88gb

is this normal?
your driverpack x64 is roughly 800MB so the x64 vista folder size should be roughly 4.12gb

The x86 vista folder increases its size, so that is fine. Its just x64 vista, the size increase is only few MB's

muiz · Post by **muiz** » Sun Aug 10, 2008 2:25 am

Something goes wrong with the slipping of x64 drivers, still dont know what.

EDIT:

Found a little workaround for Vista-Tool to slip x64 drivers.
Add this XML to the bin folder of Vista-tool and replace it.
Open the XML with WAIK, and browse to your folder wich contains the x64 drivers.
x86 doesnt need this trick.

fredpsycho83 · Post by **fredpsycho83** » Sun Aug 10, 2008 7:51 am

is there a warning message of non-WHQL x64 drivers with this method ?

i'm really new to vista's installation.

Yes it doesnt realy matter from wich version you work, atleast i dont have any problems with that.

Hi,

Are you sure about this? Did you integrate hotfixes to x64 vista using x86 system as host? I'm asking this because vLite does not allow integration of hotfixes to x64 vista using x86 system. Only component removal is allowed. Also, thanks for great pack. I'm looking forward for your next one.

Cheers

and muiz replied

muiz wrote:Yes it doesnt realy matter from wich version you work, atleast i dont have any problems with that.

So basically muiz was saying you can modify an x64 install.wim image on a x86 vista install. He never said you can integrate x64 hotfixes under an x86 vista.

You CAN'T integrate x64 hotfixes on x86 vista, you MUST be running x64 vista to do that. (you can modify an x64 install.wim on x86 vista)
