Doomed to see the future and unable to prevent it
Anyways, anybody had a chance to test out the build I made, especially people with 270-290 cards?

Link to the new builds in file format.
I don't do strange exe's Wink

I'm adding network and gpu drivers to a winpe build I have...will try your latest vnc enabled one later.

This one boots to either a 64bit or 32bit winpe 8.1.

Thanks for the tips, post a donation address or pm me catcha.

You guys want to add nvidia NIC drivers (built in lanparty mobo i'm testing on).

Are you modding Gandolf's release?

Would be cool...haven't had success yet.

Dude just link me the drivers you want on Gandalf's ISO, I'll load them and send you a link.

Awesome!

I wanted to try it for nvidia gpus, so: http://www.nvidia.es/download/driverResults.aspx/73251/es
And I'll need EVGA Precision X, not sure if you can run that as a portable app. (also, cudaminer, the latest release)

It's really strange, I had success one time installing wireless drivers in the x86 os.
Rebooted and drivers were gone, tried again and it didn't wokr  Huh

This is really confusing to say the least :p

The system drive (X:) loads into ram. When you're running it live you could erase half the files and rename the other half random gibberish, and on reboot it would go back to exactly how it was.

You gotta use dism to load drivers, offline. Here, extract this and go to where dism.exe lives and run those commands I told you a few posts back to add drivers: http://l.bitcasa.com/DmXx2Mck


OK, So I'm a little slow. Please explain to me why there are no ATI drivers installed?


I think I'm a little slow too. What exactly doesn't have ATI drivers installed?

Your release has no R9 drivers also I tried to force HD 7870 (same chipset) and got error "Not compatible with this version of windows"

Testing with R9-270

Oh that's what those other drivers in CCC are for? LOL, bonehead move by me.

Ok I'm gonna update stuff.


Right, so the issue wasn't that I hadn't put the drivers in, it was that the path that enables them on startup was all wrong. Fixed it, uploading right now. It's getting confusing if people are asking questions about my build or Crazyrates', so I'm migrating over here: https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=16545.msg135003#msg135003

Is there any way, that changes done during OS operation surive a restart?
Isn't this an option you can set, that changes automatically are stored?
No. The boot.wim gets extracted to RAM upon bootup, and any changes are NOT saved when you shut it down. Think of it like a "snapshot" of your OS, and you're always booting into that same instance of your OS every time you reboot.

To get around this, you can place SOME of your mining files on the USB drive itself, such as your SGMiner folder and config file. I also placed a PENetwork config file on there, which gets copied over to the X: drive upon bootup. This lets you make changes, and the OS can use these newer changes after reboot.

Thanks a lot!

Will give it a shot in a while...was trying to get my GTX 780 to run some 3d benchmarks at ridiculously high clocks Cheesy (my idea of Saturday night fun)

Thanks captcha...

I've stumbled upon Gandalf50's blog, windowsmatters.com and he has a dual boot premade winpe x86/64 iso.
I'm gonna try adding gpu drivers to it as well as miners and see how it goes.

Check it out, looks pretty cool.
Have you used pnputil.exe to install drivers before?

I actually just tried it today, it's how I realized I could boot a x64 WinPE to a x86 machine.

pnputil.exe to install drivers, never tried that. I've gotten used to adding drivers through DISM...I have a feeling that it will only load previously installed drivers, not install them. If you're running it live it they certainly won't hold until next boot. I could be talking out of my ass here so let me know if it works  Grin

Been working on this as well without much luck..
