a06lp Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 I installed a Dell TrueMobile 1300 MiniPCI Card into my laptop. This came with a CD, and I'd like to add the drivers for that as well. I did a "find files or folders" on the cd for "*.inf", and came up with:- autorun.inf (in D:\)- DELLOMCI.INF (in D:\Omcixlt)- bcmwl5.inf (in D:\Setup)- bcmwl5.inf (in D:\Setup\I8500)1) Should I copy the entire CD to my hard drive and add it into my "drivers" folder?2) Which file(s) would I point my winnt.sif to?I don't know if this helps, but in Device Manager, and looked in Dell TureMobile..., and saw the driver pointed to "c:\windows\system32\drivers\BCMWL5.sys". What does that mean in terms of copying drivers to my XP installation?[edit]here's all the files in the root dir of the CD:bin (folder)Omcixlt (folder)Setup (folder)User_Guide (folder)autorun.infsetup.exesetup.iniTMSetup.exeThe CD includes the drivers and a utility (WHICH I DO NOT WANT TO INSTALL). I just want the drivers.
Br4tt3 Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 k...most common files for drivers are these: *.cat / *.sys / *.infthen again.. there are no guarantee that it is in this case (your drivers)I guess u have to seperate the files and try to install them just using them one at the time to see if u gotten the right source files... when that is cool, u build an $OEM$ folder structure like MENTIONED in forum just about everywhere...also, edit your sif file to comply with the folder structure u build for the drivers..then again... i have had a lot of troubble with just dell drivers since they tend to wrapp the drivers in an .exe file using installshield which makes it hard to extract them...good luck dude...
