were any of these guides actually tested out lol! I dont want to go format and have it all messed up

Correct amirali_esh, they are not all needed. As I understand it, this entires are only for DRIVER.CAB file, and not the SP1.CAB file. [For reference...]

greenmachine, if i leave it as the guide says it will still work though right? Its just not needed.

Right!

Can't you test them in Virtual PC/VMWare? Its how we fix our mistakes.
