Interesting suggestion. I confess I'm not familiar with WinPE or Dism++ (in fact I was only introduced to Dism yesterday when I first ran it manually in an attempt to integrate the drivers via someone else's guide). But it looks like WinPE can run from flash drive. I have other flash drives available, so... would it be accurate to say I should create a separate bootable flash drive with just WinPE, Dism++, and the appropriate driver on it? Is there a guide on doing so? Moreover, which specific driver file(s) from the 7Upgrade package should be loaded using this method?
That's weird, because there are only two 3.1 ports on the back panel. There are four 3.0 ports. But whatever - as long as whatever's plugged into that header would work.
I don't quite follow at the moment, but I'll take another look when I'm back at the machine this afternoon. Would I run Dism++ from the command prompt when booting from the installation media?
This will likely not be possible since the mobo only has the one PCIe slot, which is currently being used by the GPU (and as you said, no Vega graphics - I looked into that, but the only ones available were either downgrades to Ryzen 5 or in the more expensive 3rd gen, or both).
.
I did not originally try them, but I did this time. Still no luck. I tried every port on the case just now (all the 3.0s, the 3.1s, and the case 3.0s).
I actually formatted it through the disk options in the bootable media. Then I tried to do a fresh install using the install.wim I already had, which I thought would saddle me with all the same drivers, but it did not - the driver list I found in dism++ when it was complete was devoid of any drivers (except some printer driver which was already there before). Loaded the Ryzen_B14 drivers only and it actually worked this time! Go figure. I wonder what was conflicting.
Yep, as well as the red ones (USB3.1) and the case ports.
Are all 4 blue rear usb ports working now?
