I made an image of Windows XP Embedded. But I couldn't see "Non-plug and Play Drivers" in Device Manager. Is there any component I missed or do I have to change some settings on Device Manager
Thank you.
Thank you.
How to show "Non-plug and Play Drivers" in Device Manager for Windows XP Embedded

Try:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\Environment]
"DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES"="1"

Bin,
That should work. What actually Doug meant was setting the
DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES environmental variable to "1". Device Manager
(devmgr.dll) will pick the var value up and display hidden devices, non-Plug
and Play devices, and devices not attached to the computer (commonly known
as "ghosted" or "phantom" devices).
Instead you may just try to run the following commands from Command Line
Prompt box:
set DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1
start devmgmt.msc
Select "Show hidden devices" option and see if it helps.

couldn't find it. So I created a new Registry with this name and value. It
doesn't help, either, I still couldn't see the "Non-plug and Play Drivers"
in Device Manager.

Thanks KM for helping clarify. I have a tendancy to reg hack instead of
typing
Also, maybe you have a missing component. This works for me but of course I
don't remember what all the components do. So maybe make sure you have
Class Installer - Non plug and play drivers, Pnp (Kernel mode), Pnp (User
mode), Plug and Play Software Device Enumerator, Device: Legacy Driver,
etc.. You probably already have most of these.

Thank you for your reply, KM.
I did exactly what you talked here. After I set the Registry, I could see the envirnment variable "DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1" by typing "set" in DOS Prompt Window. However, I really couldn't see "Non-plug and Play Drivers" in devmgr
I do have a few devices without drivers installed, so every time when I reboot the machine, it pops up window to show that OS found new devices. On the same hard disk and on the same machine, I have another partition on which Windows XP Professional was installed. Same as Windows XP Embedded, I didn't install drivers on these devices. But I could see "Non-plug and Play Drivers" on Windows XP Professional on the same machine and with the same devices. Since we'll make our own drivers for these devices later for Windows XP Embedded and they are going to be shown in "Non-plug and Play Drivers", this is why I'm looking for it. At least, I should be able to see "Non-plug and Play Drivers" like "Beep", "Null"
Will those devices affect the "Non-plug and Play Drivers"? I don't know. But I could see "Non-plug and Play Drivers" on Windows XP Professional on the same machine. So I guess there could be something I missed in Windows XP Embedded or some settings I did do properly
I'm looking forward to hearing from you, and thanks again for both of you

Thank you so much, Doug. I did missed some components
At the beginning, I couldn't see all of the components you listed here. After I change TD options a
"opiont"|"Advanced"|"Component Visibility
and set "Minimum Visibility" from 1000(default value) to 100. I was able to see them. And I misse
-- Class Installer - Non plug and play drivers ( I do have a lot of Class Installers, except this one :-(
-- Device: Legacy Drive
I'm rebuilding the image now ... I'll let you know the result later
Thanks a lot

After I added the two components and rebuilt the image, I could see the "Non-plug and Play Drivers" in Device Manager
Thank both of you very much
