Also, a status of Error Code 1 or Error Code 10 may be displayed when you view the properties of the device in Device Manager. Note Most USB and IEEE devices function correctly without additional device drivers because they are configured by the drivers that are included with Windows for these bus types.
However, an additional device driver is needed if the device does not fit the defined and supplied Windows class drivers. If the bus cannot identify the device, it interprets the device as a composite device and then reports it as such in Device Manager. If you try to install them on your Windows XP-based computer, the device may be listed as unknown in Device Manager. This typically occurs when the device driver manufacturer does not correctly differentiate between the two drivers or assumes that Windows XP can use Windows 98 or Windows Note Software programs that require virtual hooks into hardware may create these devices.
Software-only device drivers do not expose a device ID, and there is no standard method for installing these devices. Some manufacturers install the device by using the InstallShield installation program or a similar method.
Be aware that software installed by other methods may not be completely removed when the device is removed in Device Manager. Therefore, you may have to check the registry to verify that all entries are removed. Use any of the following methods to determine whether an unknown device is being created by software:. Start your computer in safe mode Although not percent reliable, starting your computer in safe mode can be one of the easiest ways to determine whether the unknown device is created by software.
To start your computer in safe mode, press F8 after you restart your computer. If the unknown device is no longer listed in Device Manager, it is likely that the unknown device is not hardware. Check the Startup folder If you suspect that a particular program is the cause of the unknown device, check the Startup folder on your computer to see which programs are configured to start when your computer starts.
The Startup folder is in the following location on your hard disk, where C is the drive on which Windows is installed, and user profile is your user profile:. Use the System Information tool The System Information tool can be useful when you have to determine the cause of an unknown device. To use the System Information tool to view a list of programs that start when your computer starts, follow these steps:.
Click Start , click Run , type msinfo32, and then click OK. Expand Software Environment , and then double-click Startup Programs. A list of the programs that are configured to start when your computer starts is displayed. Check the event log for errors that refer to any of these programs. If you find an event that is related to a program in this list, remove the program. Be aware that when a program creates an unknown device, it is not necessarily an indication that the program does not work, unless the program depends on that device to start.
To use the System Information tool to view a list of problem devices, follow these steps:. Expand Components , and then double-click Problem Devices. A list of the devices that are installed on your computer that may have a problem is displayed in the details pane, as follows:.
The client unattend file automates the Windows Deployment Services client user interface screens such as entering credentials, choosing an install image, and configuring the disk. This file uses the Unattend. Image unattend files automate the remaining phases of setup for example, offline servicing and Sysprep specialize. If you use Windows Vista and later version as the boot image, you should first associate a WDS client unattend answer file as unattend. For examples, please see Sample Unattend Files.
You can then associate an image unattend file which automates the later phases of Setup for example, offline servicing and Sysprep specialize. Since you would like to deploy Windows XP install images, you will need to create Systprep.
Now when you deploy the image, Setup will automatically locate and use the Sysprep. For the detailed steps to associate the WDS unattend file and Image unattend file, please refer to the articles below. Performing an Unattended Installation. Karen Ji. I noticed you were in the legacy mode of WDS. In the legacy mode, it is just like running RIS.
To associate an answer file with RIS installation image, please refer to the link below. Thanks for the reply Karen, but I've a confusion. Looking further for your response. Before going further let me clear you the setup. I've tested and its working in test environment.
Probably my biggest complaint about Win 7 is that they got rid of that way of searching. Posts 1, Nice Neppez! Let me know if you need the screen shots for Vista 64! This will definitely help many users!
I am not going to get the vista version up until tonite but it will be there. Last Jump to page:. Tags for this Thread delete , file. This website uses cookies.
