  1. Thanks thats what I thought Man I forgot how much I hate this slipstream stuff. It never works. So far works fine in Virtualbox but not on hardware, says NTLDR missing or on the other 10CD's I coastered it has a corupt file when loading
  2. Hey just a quick question. I have slipstreamed before, but this time I just built 2 computers for my parents. They have identical hardware, so I was assuming that I can just make 1 CD(XP pro) and use it to install on both computers(using separate valid Keys). I was wanting to slip the drivers and sp3 and a few other things in. Am I correct that this will work fine?? Also can you slip the AMD Cool N Quiet drivers in and have them function properly? As always thanks in advance
  3. Any help on this?? I have the same issue, just built a new comp for my Dad and installed XP from this CD drive(Samsung from Emachines) and it shows up fine everywhere but wont read any discs in windows. I havent tried to burn 1 yet but it transfers files ready to copy just fine. I never tried it after the install as i loaded all the drivers from USB. But I was thinking that it was the drivers or windows update that did it. I have now completely uninstalled and reinstalled all the drivers and still the same. Which points me to some windows update/SP3?
  4. I'm not real good at this but I'll try. If you right click on the task bar you can set it to "lock the taskbar" it you unclick that you can change the size of the taskbar by positioning the mouse over it where it meets the desktop. Then you can relock it. You may have already tried it, if so someone else will surely know the answer
  5. I want to remove the nvidia 169.21 driver I slipstreamed. When making the slipstream disc I removed the other windows display drivers using nlite. Right I downloaded it from guru3d, I also tried driversweeper like I said. I will go get the newest one.
  6. no I didnt, I read some bad things about it from older info, so i didnt try it. But is it a standalone prog or built in because I wasnt sure?
  7. Hey just wondering, since I'm new to this. I made a slipstream sp3 cd w/ chipset+video drivers, both nvidia. Anyway I'm not sure but I could not for the life of me uninstall the video drivers. I tried in safe mode w/ drivercleaner pro and driver sweeper(which could not delete nvavi.dll??, I deleted it with unlocker but still didnt work). So i think my issue may be that I uninstalled the other display drivers w/ nlite and added this one so I could not install it because there was nothing ot load windows with, but I could be wrong. Basically I uninstalled, reboooted to safe mode, uninstalled from device manager, ran driver cleaner and driver sweeer, deleted the nvati.dll(think thats what driver sweeper said it could not delete?), rebooted and the orig driver would be back. So I tried the same thing but after uninstalling same way, I installed the new driver while in safe mode, then on reboot it asked if I wanted to use this older driver I hit yes, the restarted and it was an unending cycle every reboot asked me if I wanted to install the older driver and wanted me to reboot. Well after messing with it for 30mins or so I messed with some reg files and hosed my windows up, so i'm making a new slipstream at the moment w/o video drivers and leaving the old drivers in place for now. Not sure if this driver was just super human or its the slipstream process that embeded the driver deeper than the driver cleaners could get to delete. Thanks in advance, matt
  8. yep like said above, figure out what brand of hd you have, then download and run the error checking program for it(normally on a floppy disk)
  9. my laptop has fat32 on it and every once in awhile like if the battery goes dead and it shuts off, then on reboot it will want to check the disk. Big PITA if you ask me, its a 10gig partition. I also tried using fat32 on my desktop for the pagefile partition and same thing. I dont see the point of using it.
  10. well you dont want to disable booting from the HD, just make cd rom 1st boot, hd 2nd boot. Then it should get to the boot and say press any key to boot from CD, so just tap a key. You need the hd enabled because after you get a little ways into the install it will boot from the HD. Other than that I dont see why you would have any probs
  11. well the slipstream may not like the drivers. If you just slipstream sp2 and the updates while your at it, then install the drivers afterward it may work better. i believe in a clean fresh install instead of going over an existing one. Actually I dont pretend to know much but I believe I've come accross a couple people that have had probs installing realtek drivers but I dont know exactly which ones/platform they were
  12. I've done it like I said in my above post. from a running XP home oem OS to a xp pro SP2 upgrade CD worked fine, now if you have a non upgrade CD then that may be the case?
  13. I'm not sure about using the upgrade feature and slipstreaming. I have a couple XP pro upgrade CD's(with SP2), thats what run but I only do fresh installs(which by the way requires another original Microsoft original CD of some sort if you delete the current partitions, which I didnt know at 1st and finally found a windows 95 CD from a friend). My 1st question to you is why do you want to upgrade? Not many things are worth going to pro from home, only for certain machines(I dont recall the exact benefits but for normal usage xp home is just fine). If your doing an upgrade on a running machine I see no reason that the install would remove your current drivers, I did it once before I knew what I was doing and it doesnt touch the drivers just the OS files. Did you try a clean installl and have probs with the sound drivers(assuming), otherwise how would you know about the issue?
  14. You sir are my hero. It worked. Thats exactly what I was looking for. I'm not really into messing with the registry but I'm not scared to make some changes. I changed it like you said, restarted then installed, changed it back, restarted and all is well. Thank you much
  15. Well according to Pinnacle's web site it will work with SP3 as long as its installed before, but will not currently work installing on a SP3 setup. I basically was just asking if there were a couple(like 3-4) files that were labeled as SP2 or 3 or whatever and I could change them for the setup then change them back. I dont know the files so I guess I will contact them unless anyone else has a hint for me to try.
