Run the SFX archive and extract it to the folder of your choice, then run the DPs_BASE.exe file.Ģ. Visit and download the latest DriverPacks BASE program. You WILL need a folder on your hard drive with the contents of your XP CD copied into it for the drivers to be integrated.ġ. The big advantage here is this method doesn’t need you to find the exact driver for your storage controller, just about all the major brands are already included in the driverpack file you download. Although it can include other drivers such as sound, video and network, for the purposes of this article we’re only interested in the Mass Storage drivers and getting them installed so you don’t need a floppy drive during XP’s setup. Can it be true that it only works with hard drives? Seriously? Finally, I'm hoping someone with the appropriate technical background can answer this question: Do you really want to be "secure erasing" files or free space on solid state drives? If secure erasing SSD means overwriting it with random patterns over and over, as is typically done with hard drives, doesn't that just increase wear on the SSD and shorten its useful lifetime? Thanks for any replies.2: Integrate SATA/RAID Drivers using DriverPacksĭriverPacks is a well known solution for allowing the integration of a number of drivers onto your XP install CD or Vista / 7 DVD. Beyond that, DG is just a collection of so-so utilities. I suppose it has a real-time component, but no Mac user should need that anyway. And why did DG feel the need to tack on a "me too" malware scan? There are tons of those out there already. I can't see why anyone would use "Drive Pulse" (or TechTool's equivalent real-time drive monitor). TechTool Pro always seemed to me to be better.
Even the interface seemed overly slick with all those moving parts. I used to own and use "Drive Genius," but I can't say I ever liked it and I didn't like the pretensions of having "Genius" in the name.
