USB floppy during installation

I was able to (apparently) successfully slipstream drivers for my Intel
82801HEM/HBM controller into an XP64 CD so that it completed both the text
and gui portion of setup, but it won't boot the operating system, resulting
in an 0x0000007B hard drive error. I can't seem to work the problem out.
I had to slipstream the drivers because I have a laptop and there is no
floppy drive, so the F6 driver route wasn't available. So I'm left guessing
if I modified the setup scripts correctly and included all of the divers,
etc. that I need.
Actually, i do have a USB floppy, but that apparently isn't available during
nstallation so that it isn't recognized as a drive. Is it possible to get the
appropriate USB and floppy drivers loaded into setup before reaching the
floppy request so that setup can read the floppy and handle all of the
detaiils?

thanks.
 
Re: USB floppy during installation

To the best of my knowledge, you should be able to sliptstream those
drivers, but I haven't tried it myself.

The USB Floppy should also be available during installation, but you will
probably have to actually disable any Floppy settings in your BIOS as there
is nothing connected to that connector. This worked fine for me, but
Motherboards and BIOS's vary.

Good Luck!

Re: USB floppy during installation

Since you got thru the GUI section of the install, your HD drivers seem to
be okay. You also were able to load a number of drivers from the hard drive
before you got your acpitabl.dat . There are numerous hits in the
knowledgebase for the 7B error message, you might look thru them and see if
any seem to fit your circumstances.

Re: USB floppy during installation

Brilliant!! Thanks a bunch. I had to enable external boot devices (go figure)
in the BIOS and it worked like a charm. I ran a repair installation and
everything boots like a charm.

My only remaining issue is that I can't seem to track down my audio/modem
drivers. I don't really care about the modem, but the audio would be nice! It
appears to be a Conexant HDAudio Softv92 Data Fax Modem with SmartCP. I have
one potential driver, but it doesn't appear to work. Any ideas?

Thanks again!

Re: USB floppy during installation

Great!

I've found it invaluable to get aquainted with my BIOS. The personality in
the machine comes from the BIOS. The BIOS IS the machine! It will reward
you, doing that. Further, today, I don't contemplate buying a new machine,
or upgrade the motherboard without downloading and reading the contents of
the manual, doing that fends off a lot of nasty surprises!

This is also why I usually don't buy brand-name machines, there are things
in those BIOS's that you don't know about, things that are meant to keep the
machine in a bond with the brand in all eternity. I am dual and
multi-booting most of my machines and the brands have a way of being a bit
too personal for my liking!

They do have a driver - lookie here:

Re: USB floppy during installation

Hi again, Tony,

Tha nks for pointing that out. I've been there. The best-guess driver was
HSFhda_WinXP64.zip - no dice. It's DEFINITELY not AC '97, but it doesn't
matter because the link is broken. PCI is a slim possibility, but that links
broken as well.
Thanks for trying...

Re: USB floppy during installation

Have you tried Windows update/custom (I think) and look to see if any
drivers are available to download?

Re: USB floppy during installation

Sure. Immediately after installing XP64 and SP2 I had to download all the
patches and updates.
Thanks for checking, though!

Re: USB floppy during installation

Two broken links?

I got curious, and just downloaded 1.691 KB's worth of it, it's a ZIP
archive file, I unzipped it and had a look at the INF file and everything
looked normal. It has a Setup.exe plus a Setup64.exe inside

Note! - the text-part of taht link isn't the link at all. You'll have to
click the Anvil Icon. If you're using a download manager those doesn't
allways understand the redirection codes some sites are employing, so switch
over to IE or download by right-clicking the anvil.

Re: USB floppy during installation

While I was there, I had a look at the release notes, and I learned a few
things that I wasn't aware of - Connexant's driver is a chipset driver
handling the fax and network/telephony part, and that this is released with
Windows, so what John said back there is probably well founded (it usually
is). This means that you should check the manufacturer of that modem because
I don't expect the Connexant driver to have the Sound support you want.

Also, as a possible resolution, I would remove the modem from the machine
and reboot a couple of times, then reinsert it and when rebooting again
Windows should handle the requirements.

The acid test is if the modem manufacturer actually issued any 64bit support
for the sound. If they do, then now is the time to install that. What Brand
name is it sold under?

Re: USB floppy during installation

Not a good sign. If you checked the section that has the optional updates
and drivers, Microsoft has written their own drivers for Vista64 for the HD
sound while Realtek was late on the scene, but they at least have them now.
You might look thru the MSDN site as there are several articles and this
indicates that they have 64-bit drivers, so maybe Microsoft has one which
will work with XP.

Re: USB floppy during installation


what drivers did you slipstream on the winxp installer? i downloaded
from the intel website the drivers for mobility 965 chipset and tried
the latest version for the sata/ahci controllers and still the blue
screen popped up

Hi Carlos. No dice, sadly. It loads the driver but gives me a "Code 10" error.
Any ideas???

Re: USB floppy during installation

If you're looking for drivers for 32-bit Windows, you're in
the wrong forum. This forum is for 64-bit Windows, but you
need to get hardware drivers from the manufacturer and/or
vendor. This is not the source for drivers.

Re: USB floppy during installation

Go to the web site of the manufacturer/vendor and download
the drivers.

Use Google if need be to find the web sites you need to visit.
