Ok i just got a HP 5000t laptop. it came with a partition recovery which i made into a dvd. Basically all i need or want of that dvd is the drivers. So i load XP pro into the comp and everything works, with exception of no drivers. I got Nlite to integrate the drivers in the xp cd. I took the INF files that have the drivers and imported them onto the program. anyway the program went through its thing. I made a bootable cd. The computer boots from the cd but goes into Caldera and stops at some A:/ prompt. Any ideas on what i am doing wrong? I need these drivers and i can see no other way of getting them. The recover DVD is one of those things that either instals Everything including XP home or nothing. Any info would be great.
