Topic: XP Drivers

Good evening Gentlemen,

sorry to bother you in any way - didn't really have time to read through all the posts here - but I have a question (jolly!).
After downgrading to XP, where do I get all the XP drivers from? Since I assume all those fancy network drivers won't work anymore. Mind you, I don't have my N10 yet and I don't want to brick it on the very first day big_smile.

Greetings

Re: XP Drivers

Thanks for your answer, but do I have to install all those drivers before or after I downgrade from Vista Business to XP? Just wondering, because I recently installed a new OS to another computer and there were no drivers at all on there, so I had to put them on there via CD, but the N10 has no ODD, so without usb drivers... yeah big_smile

Re: XP Drivers

>>>some drivers must be installed in a certain sequence. i would make a list and keep<<<

Good idea. I'm downloading the drivers now and I'll put a text file in the folder with the drivers for future reference.

I just installed my new 128GB OCZ Core and I'm itching to see how fast this thing will go without being dragged down by Vista.

I can always boot from the original HDD if I need to remind myself how bad Vista is.

Now where did I put my XPpro with SP3 and DirectX10 slipstreamed?  smile
