USB Boot/Intel INFs (Repost)

[steves]

Hello All,

I have been following Dietmar's USB Booting thread with interest, and
have been trying
without success to boot XP Embedded from a thumb drive.

I can get a USB stick to boot DOS or Windows 98, however, in this case
the USB stick is recognized as a floppy disk (A. Slobodan has
indicated that this is caused by Intel drivers, and is bad for usb boot
.

I have an Advantech 6870 motherboard that uses Intel drivers (The Intel
XPE components include 5 different Intel 82801 components, Intel 82802
Firmware Hub device, Intel 82815 Graphics, Intel 82815 Processor to IO,
Intel Pro/100 Network.)

From your version 1 tutorial you state 'do not include intel INF5', and

from version 2 'Do not include intel chipset drivers. My XP embedded
image (Pre FBA) has 104 INF files in C:\Windows\INF. A search for INF
files containing 'Intel', 'INF5' and 'Chipset' yields the following
list of possible drivers that cause the problems:

INF Files containing string 'Intel', and/or the word 'chipset'
----------------------------------------------------------------------
biosinfo.inf Contains string 'chipset'
cpu.inf The processor
e100b325.inf Intel 8255x-based PCI Ethernet Adapterdir
i81xnt5.inf Intel 82810 Graphics Controller
layout.inf Contains strings intelide.sys,
intellim.chm,intelppm.sys,
mdmintel.inf,intelppm.sys, keybdintel.inf,
usbintel.sys,
machine.inf contains section [INTEL_SYS] with various Intel VID/PID
descriptions
mshdc.inf contains setcion [INTEL_HDC] with various Intel VID/PID
descriptions.
OUSB2.inf Contains string 'Intel USB 2.0 Enhanced Host
Controller'
ssigd.inf Intel 815 Embedded Graphics Driver
usb.inf Contains section [Intel.Section] with StandardHub.Dev
VID/PID pairs
usbport.inf Contains section [Intel.Section] with StandardHub.Dev
VID/PID pairs
wdma_int.inf Contains section [Intel] with intel Audio driver
descriptions

After all that preparation, my question is simple.

a) Which INF do I remove?
b) Do I need to add something else to replace that functionality, and
if so, what?


Thanks,
Steve Schilz.

Hi Steve,
did you try the ntdetect.com
which I posted
in thread ITWORKSITWORKSITWORKS ?

I can send it to you via Email.
If you can wait 2 weeks,
Tutorial Version3 will be ready and then
your motherboard will boot from USB.

Nice to hear from you
Dietmar

Dietmar,


I have that available, I will give it another try, probably tomorrow
evening, and post back on what happens. Otherwise, I will wait for
Version3 tutorial.

Thanks for all of your efforts. Hopefully one day soon I too can say
ITWORKSITWORKSITWORKS
