I have a similar question (sorry to hijack ). I work in an older building in the center of my town's business district. Since it is a retail store there is no need for mainstream internet access so we don't have it. I like to bring my laptop to work with me because it helps alot with my profession (photo lab technician). I was looking for wifi hotspots so I walked outside into our parking lot, got nothing, continued on into a neighboring lot across the street behind a large three story building and picked up on someone's unsecured wifi (there are house across the street from that lot) and got almost perfect signal, about 90%. Suppose I bought something like a Hawking Hi-gain pcmia wifi card (6dbi) would I pick up on that signal being towards the outer wall of an old concrete building and then being partially blocked by a three story concrete building? Or would the Hawking hi-gain directional dish (8dbi) suit me better?

YES!!! It worked using multiple drivers, textmode, and selecting all the devices!!! Thanks so much for all the help!!

Ok I got the very newest nLite installed now. I used the multiple drivers option, selected the A: drive since that is where the drivers are then selected PNP and burned. And it didn't work Should I be doing textmode? If so what ones to I select or can I just select them all?

Download TweakUI from Microsoft.com. Click General then scroll down and select "Show Windows version on desktop"

Something is wrong with the ISO creator. It makes the ISO but then the file immediately disappears. !?!?!

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by a new version... of nLite? I just found the search function for the forum, lol, so I think I may have found my problem (select pnp instead of text based) and I am going to try that now. update: didn't work

So I just bought a Gateway MX6920 laptop from Circuit City for a mere $699. Of course I didn't want to use the laptop with all the bloatware and crumby Windows Media Center Edition so the first thing I did was format the HD and the hidden Gateway recovery partition into one 120gb partition. I then installed Windows Vista RC1 because my main PC is my desktop anyway and I wanted to play with the newest release. It looked good and all but I needed more functionality so I then formatted again and planned to dual boot XP Pro and Vista. I tried installed XP Pro first but it kept saying that setup couldn't find and hard drives. I said to myself, OK I need to install the SATA driver manually, but dammit I have no floppy drive: internal or external. So I set out to find nLite and I did. Now to the point... I need to get this driver onto the CD based on the driver's instructions below. I tried it once myself but it didn't work out and instead of wasting CDs during trial and error I figured I'd ask here first. I am not sure whether or not I use both driver files that it comes with or just one; nor do I know witch device(s) to select when nLite asks. I tried selecting the last two devices together since they were the closet match according to the README, but when I ran setup on the laptop it still said it could not find a hard drive. At least for now I know I can still run Vista since it apparently supports the SATA drivers for this laptop already. Your help is much appreciated
