Full Version: No Networking Devices

Hi Everyone,
I was able to create a bootable UFD- Memorex 518mb with 700mb partition (ramdrive) and USB HDD 700mb partition (PeToUSB) but, it did not support networking devices. Every time I click yes on the option it gives me the error of "Unable To Install Network Devices" on both USB's. If I'm going to use my BartPE using the cd, it worked! I need this feature in order for me to mapped the network drive and access the Ghost images on the commons folder.

Is there a plug-in that I needed to add to my plug-in folder?
Thank you much!

blink.gif Did you use the same BartPE folder to create both the CD and the USB sticks??

Do you use the HWpnp plugin?

Use Bart's Load Network Support (GUI) instead of PE Network Configurator
It performs better in finding my NIC.

Or better: try to boot with LiveXP BootSDI.img file from USB-stick made with Make_USB.exe

Yes I did. It's just that everytime I'am going to install it on USB it doesn't support networking, but when I used
the BartPE CD, it support it and I was able to connect and mapped my drive. I think I didn't do anything wrong I
follow all the instructions to the letter.


Sorry for the delay!

I'll try that too and post my result.

I seem to recall something similar to this this summer but I don't have jaclaz's search skills and I can't find the posting. The problem is tied to timing and the location of the Windows files on the USB device.

If the files are copied via a standard xcopy command the drivers are located away from the root and the access time is longer and they are not found during the boot process. Installing them after booting works since they are on the device.

Try the following and see it it helps.

1. On the USB device delete the MININT folder and all it's contents.
2. Reallocate the MININT folder then run the following script
CODE
@echo off&Title BartPE to USB script&Color 1F&MODE CON COLS=66
:: Set location of destination HD or partition, BartPE source and name of I386 folder

set HD=E:
set BartPE=F:
set I386=I386

echo reBuilding MININT...
echo ..SYSTEM32 DRIVERS
xcopy %BartPE%\%I386%\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\*.* %HD%\MININT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ /s > nul
echo ..SYSTEM32
xcopy %BartPE%\%I386%\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\*.*  %HD%\MININT\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\  /s > nul
xcopy %BartPE%\%I386%\SYSTEM32\LANG\*.*    %HD%\MININT\SYSTEM32\LANG\    /s > nul
xcopy %BartPE%\%I386%\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\*.*   %HD%\MININT\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\   /s > nul
xcopy %BartPE%\%I386%\SYSTEM32\*.*         %HD%\MININT\SYSTEM32\            > nul
echo ..INF, WINSXS, FONTS
xcopy %BartPE%\%I386%\INF\*.*              %HD%\MININT\INF\              /s > nul
xcopy %BartPE%\%I386%\WINSXS\*.*           %HD%\MININT\WINSXS\           /s > nul
xcopy %BartPE%\%I386%\FONTS\*.*            %HD%\MININT\FONTS\            /s > nul
echo ..MININT
xcopy %BartPE%\%I386%\*.*                  %HD%\MININT\                     > nul

Change the set commands to fit your environment.

BTW I use PENetCfg

BTW I forgot to mention that when I created the Bart to the usb I used the program, "PeToUSB".
And Point it to the BartPE folder that I created and used with the cd-rom.
It's just that the usb version won't support the network devices. Did the "PeToUSB" somehow
mess the settings?

I'am going to try your suggestion Ed. Thanks


@wimb 2

I also tried the Bart's Load Network Support and still it didn't work. Thank you.

I am embarrassed 'coz I can't follow the code. And this is the result when I run the command:

:: Set location of destination HD or partition, BartPE source and
name of I386 folder

set HD=F:
set BartPE=E:
set I386=I386

echo reBuilding MININT...

My USB have two partions, BARTPE (E:) and HD (F:) <-- formerly sony vault. I renamed it to follow the direction.
and I deleted all the contents in my E: drive that contains the MININT folder and all to boot the BARTpe.
I put the Bartpe folder to HD (F:) and created the I386 folder in HD (F:) with the I386 files.
About the MININT folder I don't know where to put it... I guess I'm dead. You wouldn't mind telling me what
to do right sweatingbullets.gif

The BartPE parm should point to the BartPE folder you used to create the CD and inputed to PEtoUSB. It could be a separate partition, F:, or a folder someplace, C:\PEBuilder\BartPE.

The HD parm should point to the USB drive that has the MININT folder on it. The one that you've been booting. The only thing you needed to delete was the MININT folder because the only thing this script does is resequence the files in that folder. It doesn't rebuild the USB system and doesn't make it bootable, you need to have that in place before you start.

The script is a portion of a script I use to maintain a BartPE bootable partition, which is why the HD parm is named HD rather than USB. Feel free to rename it if it will help you.

Well I managed it to run but it seems that the building process is idle:

reBuilding MININT...
..SYSTEM32 DRIVERS

I let it run but it doesn't seem to working. Any ideas why?

Without seeing what you set the variables to I can only guess. Most likely an XCOPY msg asking you something like Is xxx a file or folder or Do you want to overwrite something.

If you remove the "> nul" portion of the command you will see what the prompt is.

I copied your code and just change the value of the HD, BartPe and the i386 was in the HD.
And then I run it.
