PC_LOAD_LETTER Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 (edited) PLEASE NOTEThis post has been replaced by an entry in the compiled sticky FAQ HERE.I have noticed an increasing number of people requesting drivers for Windows XP because they want to migrate away from Windows Vista for whatever reason. (wont get into that here)Only a few people have been able to provide all the information needed to help them locate the drivers they need for their XP Build. Sometimes we can hunt down a driver with only the make/model of the machine but in truth more information is required to find the best drivers. Therefore I have decided to make a post with instructions on how to get information about your system to the MSFN community so they can help you find drivers. In the process of getting them the information, you may get enough information to locate the drivers on your own. Download and extract Unknown Devices on the machine you are looking for drivers for.If you have Internet access on the machine you are looking for drivers for:Run UnknownDevices.exe then click List->Show->AllThen click List->Upload list to pastebinEnter a comment if you like and hit uploada page like this one will open -just close that and paste the link into your post here at MSFN (it will be copied automatically)If you do not have Internet access on the machine you are looking for drivers for:Run UnknownDevices.exe then click List->Show->AllThen click List->Save list to fileSave the list VERY IMPORTANT Open the text file and remove your product key or change it to something totally different as i have done here:Computer Info Chipset: <unknown> Computer Name: FOURBYFOUR OS: Windows Vista (TM) Business (OEM) Product Key... AAAAA-BBBBB-CCCCC-DDDDD-EEEEEDevice Tree Bluetooth Devices Bluetooth Bus Enumerator Kensington Bluetooth Device Kensington Bluetooth Device ...Now either upload the text file in your post or paste its contents into a new topicPlease do not reply to this thread with your results. Only reply to this post with Problems/Questions/Comments on this information gathering process. To get the best possible assistance with locating your needed drivers, Please create a new post in whatever your target OS will be (ie XP 32Bit Edition XP 64Bit Edition, or XP Media Center, etc) Edited August 10, 2008 by Mr Snrub Post rertired, replaced by entry in the read-only sticky FAQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
