Hey. Wassup. I have a genuine version of windows XP and on any average computer this XP disc would install flawlessly. But my circumstance is I have a crap alienware laptop that doesn't have driver support. Basically, if I continue the setup it will eventually fail because it won't recognize the HD. The problem is I don't have a floppy to press F6 and load the necessary drivers, but I have my USB stick. MY MB supports USB boot. I need my USB stick to boot like a floppy. Is this possible? I've been searching on the internet for 2 days and I've tried so many methods but none of them work. All I need is for it to act like a floppy - and then I press F6, and "GG". But, of course, its more complicated than that. There is so many retards and spam, and incorrect information on google, I decided to post on this forum. I can't use the HP boot program for USB's because I'm currently on VISTA and desperately trying to go back to XP. If anyone knows how to make a USB drive boot like a floppy I would very much appreciate it. I know a lot about computers but this is new to me, please try and simplify it - thanks in advance! Once again, I am ONLY trying to install a few drivers with F6 - NOT windows booting emulation stuff. I have also tried nlite to modify my drivers on my windows disk, but after all is said and done, my windows cd is no longer bootable. http://news.softpedia.com/news/Install-Win...-F6-47807.shtml

Hi guys. I have a similar problem. I took the proper steps on this topic to fix my problem, but it still does not work. Any help? I have a Alienware 15x laptop with a GeForce 8700m GT 512 MB. I was able to bypass the Alienware restrictions for the Nvidia drivers (avoiding the error that says it doesn't support my system), and it seems to install, but at the end it says my system was not modified. I have Vista. During the install it did not update the registry. I tried to install 180.48 and 175.32. 175.32 is specifically for a 8700m GT and it still won't work. Currently, I'm still stuck with piece of s*** out-dated Alienware drivers and there is nothing I can do about it. DO NOT buy from Alienware! This is what I did, let me know if I did anything wrong. Thanks. nv_disp for 7.15.11.5655 8700m GT (what was installed when I purchased the laptop) [NVIDIA.Mfg.NTx86.6.0] %NVIDIA_NV43.DEV_0148.1% = nv_NV3x, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0148&SUBSYS_0748152D

Can someone tell me what I did wrong? Like I said, it bypasses the restriction, but it does a half-a** install and nothing is fixed. When the computer boots up after drivers installation (supposely) it is stuck on a low resolution and has no OpenGL to do anything. I'm real new at laptops and I was seriously p***ed when I found out I couldn't download official Nvidia drivers. If there is any more information I can supply you with, please let me know! Thanks. If someone can help me with this issue I will take a weekend to make a nice forum post showing everyone how to resolve this issue. %NVIDIA_G84.DEV_0407.1% = nv_G8x_MX3, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0407&SUBSYS_0770152D %NVIDIA_G84.DEV_0407.2% = nv_G8x, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0407&SUBSYS_C20D1631 %NVIDIA_G84.DEV_0407.3% = nv_G8x, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0407&SUBSYS_C20E1631 %NVIDIA_G84.DEV_0409.1% = nv_G8x_MX3, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0409&SUBSYS_0770152D %NVIDIA_G84.DEV_040D.1% = nv_G8x_MX3, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_040D&SUBSYS_0770152D NVIDIA_G84.DEV_0407.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT" NVIDIA_G84.DEV_0407.2 = "NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT " NVIDIA_G84.DEV_0407.3 = "NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT " NVIDIA_G84.DEV_0409.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce 8700M GT" NVIDIA_G84.DEV_040D.1 = "NVIDIA Quadro FX 1600M"
