    www.UBCD4WIN.COM PROUDLY PRESENTS....

    OFFICIAL SUPPORT FOR BTS DRIVERPACKS.

    The UBCD4WIN Development team has been working directly with the BTS team to make this possible.
    In November of 2005 first contact was made about this and have been working in the background for more
    then a year now doing all the background work on what the true requirements for supporting all drivers
    in a bartpe environment, which supports all varieties of bartpe including UBCD4WIN & others.

    The initial release of the new driverpacks base only supports mass storage drivers.
    There was no doubt that the mass storage drivers were more important and needed to be first.
    LAN & WLAN will be next on the list, please remember that this is a freeware project and anything
    worth having will take time to create, test & debug.

    We have tested this method on a few dozen systems of different hardware configurations, but our resources
    in this area are limited. As always... USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Great care has been taken to make sure this
    package is safe to use, but there is always a chance of bugs that were not found during development.

    The benefit of this setup is that the pebuilder plugin is created dynamically with the current driverpack release.
    The mass storage driverpack included in this plugin is up to date as of now.
    When new versions are updated, simply replace the driverpack.7z file in the \base\driverpacks folder and rebuild the plugin.

    Overflow :worthy:(Jeff Herre) & I have been working together on this for the past couple of months.
    Jeff has done an outstanding job and deservers a big THUMBS UPS :clapping:for his work with the driverpacks base support.

    Please direct any request for additional drivers to driverpacks.net as they are the maintainter of the driverpacks because we cannot add the drivers for you. They are doing a great job and normally get any requests uploaded in a short time, but please have patience.

    When testing this package myself I did notice a few drivers that were not included, so yes your driver may not be supported at this point but this whole package is dynamic and adding drivers should be as simple as your posting a link to the driver you need at driverpacks.net and using the word PLEASE might not hurt either. :D

    THANX to Bashrat the Sneaky, Overflow and everyone else who has contributed their time to the community. :worthy:
    None of this would have been possible if it were not for the work done by Bashrat the Sneaky on the original driverpacks.

    Please concider donating to driverpacks.net & www.ubcd4win.com if you use this software in your workplace.
    Nothing is ever required, but any donation is always welcomed and used to cover the costs of maintaining these projects.

    Installation Instructions

    Disable or remove any existing Mass Storage Drivers. UBCD4Win currently comes with many drivers and to avoid conflicts ( and taking up extra space ) these need disabled at the least.

    To disable the included MS drivers... create a new folder in the UBCD4Win folder called DISABLED then cut and paste the <UBCD4Win>\drivers\SCSIAdapter folder to the <UBCD4Win>\DISABLED folder. You can also simply delete this folder if you wish but this would not allow you to use them again later if needed.

    Extract the plugin to the following location on your hard drive depending on your version of pebuilder.
    <Pebuilder>\plugin
    <UBCD4WIN>\plugin

    After running the self-extracting executable, you will have the following new folder under \plugins...
    <Pebuilder>\plugin\DriverPacks_BartPE_Plugin
    <UBCD4WIN>\plugin\DriverPacks_BartPE_Plugin

    DO NOT CHANGE THE NAME OF THIS FOLDER!!!
    "DriverPacks_BartPE_Plugin" is hard-coded into the executable and must not be altered in any way.

    After you extract the plugin to the proper folder....
    Run UBCD4WINBUILDER.EXE and open the plugins page.
    select "# DriverPack - Press <CONFIG> to enable drivers" & press the CONFIG button.
    This will setup the base.ini file to your local directory and run the driverpacks base which will generate the mass storage drivers plugin.

    You MUST press REFRESH before you will see the new plugin listed in pebuilder.

        Awesome news!!! Thanks to everyone in the "development team" that have helped with the development of this!

        While it sometimes takes a lot of time for something to get done......the UBCD4Win teams are always working on making UBCD4Win and BartPE better for everyone!

          I added a little information on the site this morning because I actually had some free time! Information on the "index" page and an announcement on the "news" page that directs people to this post for more information.

            :-D :banana::worthy::clapping:

            And with that, the storage drivers in my driver pack become obsolete. ;)But that's good though as we'll now be able to have full driver coverage without same name problems and actually get working nVidia support! :D
