ilko_t Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 (edited) Or just include BTS driver packs while installing XP for the hardware you will need (chipset, mass storage, LAN, WLAN...). Upon first boot on new hardware it's a bit slow installing all drivers, but once "trained" on various machines it's fine.Use the modified NTDETECT.COM too, for the machines with buggy BIOSes.
