ninjageek Posted October 24, 2007 CID Share Posted October 24, 2007 Looking for generic drivers for xp. The closest I could find is this http://driverpacks.net/DriverPacks/ . Is there even such a thing. A program that would install these generic drivers for xp ?? The link is for slipstreem the drivers into xp. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifogigo Posted October 25, 2007 CID Share Posted October 25, 2007 You could always use 7zip or any other program to decompress those files and burn them to a dvd then just update the drivers and tell it to scan the disk and that should take care of a large amount of the hardware. Or do a slipstream in mode 1 with the quickstream cache, Basically that will compress the files so that it takes less space, and MAY fit on a cd.

jared Posted October 25, 2007 CID Share Posted October 25, 2007 Just use the XP disc to install the drivers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifogigo Posted October 25, 2007 CID Share Posted October 25, 2007 While you could just use the XP cd there's alot of hardware the xp cd will not find by itself, and those driverpacks although they are setup to let you slipstream them into a windows install nothing says you HAVE to use them for that.

ninjageek Posted October 26, 2007 Author CID Share Posted October 26, 2007 Well I found the solution to the problem. I got this. http://www.innovative-sol.com/drivermax/index.htm and backed up both c and d drive drivers. While this program is free and really works well, I tried it today on a fresh install job, by far the best, be careful. They want your e-mail address to send you a key. I used a "spam acount" and boy did I get nailed with spam. Its just a generic yahoo account I use for forums and this kind of stuff. Been almost 2 days with no sign of my key as of yet. I went in search of one and found one, it works fine, unlocked it. Seems funny had to search the dark side of the net for a key for this free program. Odd.
