Install the latest Marvell Gigabit LAN driver 3. Install the latest Intel P35 express chipset driver 4. Install the latest ATI drivers for your video card. Install the package which includes the ATI WDM driver. 5. Install the latest HD Realtek audio drivers for Win XP " was that a mistake or which way is the correct order? E4300 sound like the original creator of this original thread, if you asked me. I recognize his signature of advice LOL so???? still am not certain.
According to Intel They recommend to install the chipset driver before any other driver. E4300 Recommended that too.
I understand that logic would say be able to get out on the Internet first, but Intel feels you need the chipset driver to get out on the internet.
Please read the below carefully it is a bit wordy but many more than I may want to do the same thing I do!!!
I love the nlite idea to slipstreame the drivers.
You recommended to start with XP gold and slipstreamSP3 and if I wanted a full SP3 to then slipstream the drivers.
But I want some of SP3 and not all.
So I noticed that at
Ryan's Integrator site
RyanVM Windows XP Post-SP3 Update Pack
and that if I want to use Ryan's RVMintegrator I have to begin with XPSP2. What is confusing to me is that Ryan says that if any integration was done with nlite then his integrator should not be used on it.
Maybe I am misunderstanding "slipstreaming" with Integrating"
But my problem is I have no pure XPSP2, I have a pure Gold and a pure SP1 but my SP2 has already many upgrades slipstreamed into it.
So I need to somehow have sp2 pure to begin Ryan's method and that all seems to contradict my using his fantastic post sp3 patch to integrate it into SP3 so I end up with is an SP3 up to date, including my drivers but ommitting things like windows media player and internet explorer 7 and others I do not want in there.
Anyone use both nlite staring with XP gold and slipstream sp2 then use Ryan's integrator to go from there and get a good totally up to date and all drivers OS XP3?
