i think your question is wrong. many motherboards have utilities to flash the bios within windows. so for every mobo there is an app. u want longhorn to have one for all?

try this: dx uninstall

so does it worth downloading?

it doesn't matter what serial u using as long as it is the right one for the xpcd u using. i say that if u use a oem windows u have to use an oem serial. and so one. another problem can be that companies who builds laptops are creating special windows cd. ps u can not create your own oem....

no i think not. but i think u should check also this: intel mobo

i will say is not normal but your hard drive is kinda slow... so i think the burner is using a lot the buffer underrun. so that could be the cause.

no is not a beta yet. still in alpha phase.....

u can check the motherboard manual. also u can use everest.

drivers problems, conflicts between windows and software installed, hardware malfunction and so on.....

u don't have to partition your drive so u can use a nlited xp cd. u can use virtual pc or vmware which install a virtual machine on your pc.

may i ask why did u make the install on all 3 partitions?

i say if everithing is working fine dont upgrade... but if u want to do it use the one from dell support site. u can also use everest to find out more info about your mobo.

i did but it seems that i can't make it work. i have the sav in a folder called sav. go to run and type drive:\sav\setup.exe /a. the installer starts and ask me where to save. i said a folder called symantec on the same drive. good i have the aip. fom now on i tried 2 ways: 1. 7zip using this method:7zip method no luck. when i click the .exe file created it just extracts and that is it. 2. winrar sfx selected all files and right click and choose add to archive then choose create sfx and create solid archive. in the archive opened with winrar o click sfx button and hit the advanced sfx options. in the run after extraction i put the switch i posted and also choose the same folder at path to extract. no luck. also choose to unpack to temporary folder and it says that windows installer can find the path. have no more ideeas..... edit i succeded to make a winrar sfx installer but is not silent. cause i can not figure out a way to make it work if i extract to temporary folder.

i created the aip and the i compressed using winrar sfx. also use the switch : "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\SAV\sav10.msi" /QB. and get the erorr when i run the sfx file that windows can find the file c:\install\aplication...... i also search this forum for a day and couldn't find a way to solve it. any help please.....

i check with microsoft and this 2 updates are released on 29-th april.

yes u do only if u integrate ryanvm's pack 1.2.1.

also if u will start building your cd go visit the nlite section....

try to slipstream sp2 into your xp cd. and second choice i see is to change your mobo....

both.

the file with extension .dl_ is a compressed file that can be used only with windows setup. if u wanna use it just copy it to i386 folder on your cd.

me too waiting for more then a month. so sometimes i will get it.....

i think not. only if u need some drivers from there.... actually i use nlite 99.7 to merge all drivers cabs in just one.

well all big mainboard producers have built obos for gamers. and on this mobos u will never find onboard video....... and sometimes onboard audio is not bad at all.... ex: sounstorm, creative sound on some msi mobos....

use nlite and slipstream sp2 and all updates into the xp cd. also u can use ryanvm's pack which contains all post sp2 updates.

ms try to implement this so called certificate of authenticity. of course that it should be trusted......if u wanna get this thing to work without that stupid question everytime when u click it go right click on the file and somewhere down in the window that appers has a thing who said unblock this file just click it and that is it.
