  1. Hi guys is there any way to convert this skin from Vista only over to XP to use with WindowBlinds or anything? Please help! Thanks in advance folks! Stoner81
  2. Doubtful, it'd have to work with every single SATA controller chip out there and there's dozens, if not hundreds, of different makes and models. There might be one that covers one manufacturer's family of chips, though. What I've done is to include drivers for the most popular SATA chips on my boot disk, then do the driver chase if I run across one that's not included(usually laptop). A universal driver would be a Good Thing, just don't think it really exists. It's not like the days with floppy or ST506/402 controllers where the register interface was firmly defined. Stan Are SATA drivers also known as Mass Storage drivers? there are some on driverpacks.net but not sure if they are the same?? Any chance you could upload the drivers (SATA) that you have included in your disk? They need to be for XP Pro 32bit version only though m8, thanks a million if you can do this for me it has driven me crazy trying to sort this out Stoner81
  3. I love this one and have downloaded it but how do i add it in to my XP disk? Im using nLite to create and unattended setup of it so please help!!! Thank you in advance If poss could you send me a PM with the answer in thanks a million Stoner81
  4. DUDE!!! Thanks a million for this info here!!!!!
  5. Ok folks I have heard that there is a Generic SATA driver out for XP Pro but I cant find it anywhere!! Im trying to rework my XP DVD (due to a large amount of drivers) to include SATA drivers that will work on any system with a SATA drive. So please please help me!!!!!! Stoner81 EDIT - Sorry I think I have posted this in the wrong section my apologies if that is the case
  6. Way to break VMware networking, disabling tons of apps from running (any SQL server of any kind, Apache, most FTP servers, RAID software, etc), most defragmenters, most AVs/firewalls, licensing for various apps, most systray mixers, and a whole lot more things. NOT good advice at all! Most services that can be disabled by most users, are Windows' own (that you did hide) -- n00bs can look at Black Viper's guide. msconfig sucked even on windows 95... If you want an app for startup stuff, look at autoruns (it's top notch, like most sysinternals apps) Besides, the vast majority of problems about PCs being slow these days are spyware/virus related (so many IE users out there and people that don't patch anything) Or to access services that run at startup you could press the Windows key on your keyboard and R to bring up the cmd box then type services.msc this will give you a comprehensive list of every service/process that is running/run on your system at startup etc etc hope this helps folks!

  7. Sweet m8!!!! Thanks for the heads up on the new version very much appreciated!!! Stoner81
  8. Any ideas folks??? Thank you all. Stoner81 PS - Im going to see if i can sort out a virtual pc with Virtual PC from Microsoft and run it from there. Overclocked pc? In any case i'd check what drivers are installed, having 50 000 different drivers sounds like trouble, and like a lot of well, bloat. AH HA!!!! Got is sorted folks, I installed VMware Workstation and removed the driverpacks from driverpacks.net and its sorted it so far!! From what I have read these driverpacks need their own software (driverpack base) to intergrate into Windows. I need the drivers because I do a lot of repairs and this prevents me having to constantly find drivers all the time. Thank you all for your kind assistance I hope I can return the favour in the future!!! Peace and thanks again!!! Stoner81 PS - Could a Moderator please close this thread... Thank You.
  9. Oh here is another part of the error message.... Any ideas folks??? Thank you all. Stoner81 PS - Im going to see if i can sort out a virtual pc with Virtual PC from Microsoft and run it from there.
  10. Bad RAM often goes unnoticed for a good while like that. That's why I mentioned memtest86+. It's tiny, and only takes a few minutes to try. I haven't noticed any real changes when it comes to mass storage adapters so far. Having different mass storage adapter drivers (SATA or not) shouldn't affect things. Not that I'm saying it's definitely not related, just unlikely. Ah I see now m8 what you mean it really strange but since the tweaked version has over 50,000 drivers in it thats probably over doing the ram possibly???? Im clutching at straws here I know but this is really doing my fruit in!!!! Thanks for your rapid responses m8 Stoner81
  11. Oh dear I'm so sorry I knew there was something else I should have done!!! Like I said though my un-tweaked version works perfectly so I know that the RAM & the hardware in the system work fine (they have done for 12 months) Could it be that the tweaked version has some SATA support in text mode but its being installed on a IDE drive, or would that not make any difference? Im sorry I can't provide more information for you Stoner 81
  12. Why do you recommend this? I have installed XP Pro SP2 from my original un-tweaked CD and it works perfectly fine? I really don't understand the problem at all!! Thank you for your quick response. Stoner81
  13. Hi guys i have a major problem that im hoping you can sort me out here... I have tweaked XP Pro SP2 with the following Intergrated SP3 IE7 Added WMP11 Added Using The Slipstreamer 50,000+ drivers Now the problem I have is that during the text mode part of the install it copies all the files to my HDD then gives me a Blue Screen Of Death at the end saying that the problem seems to be with the setupdd.sys file. I have tried just rebooting and continuing but it says it can't find the boot.ini file??? (most strange) I am at my wits end with this!!!! So please help!!!! I know this is my first post in this forum but i'm like really mega ultra pulling my hair out stuck!!!! Thank you for reading folks hope to hear from you soon! Stoner81
