Thanks man but if it wasnt for the driver packs and ur team, i wouldnt be at this stage right now. I would still be making copies of windows xp discs and probably patching with the DriverPacks base program. You guys are doing an amazing job helping out people and i hope you guys keep doing it for a very long time. You have no clue how much you guys have been a help for me. To be honest i have been wanting to use xp from the day i bought my new pc which was about 6 months ago. Vista is really annoying especially cause i got a crappy video card with my pc and i cant afford to buy a good graphics card atm Thanks soo much again. If i ever see anyone like me with the same problem, i am gonna help em out and give them the right info like you guys did to me.

ur right i should try this thing out. I guess the next time i will posting a message on this website might be with a face or a face. Thanks for all your help. I really hope it works

i have all my partitions set up All i have to do now is to install xp in someway cause i even have the cd with every single driverpack But i am scared that it might screwed up again I am just trying to find more information from google and reading stuff about how to install xp on a different partition Should i take the risk now anyways with the cd and all the driverpacks? If i screw up i will have to do a system recovery again :'( I dont have a floppy drive so i cant load the drivers by pressing F6 during the installation... but isnt that why the driverpacks are there for? they are gonna load all the drivers, if they match my drivers, automatically right?

yes i got it working on the virtual pc with all the driver packs into 1 cd but i am still worried about some stuff. Do i have to format my whole hard drive to install xp or is it going to be ok if i partition my hard drive for xp and then try installing xp on it? I have a Samsung 400 GB SATA hard drive and the previous time i tried installing it with a normal windows xp cd without any driver packs installed and stuff ( the original windows xp cd with service pack 2) on top of vista, it copied all the xp files onto the xp partition and then it never booted up or loaded the xp files so basically i couldnt go to vista or xp because none booted up and i had to do a full system recovery. So is there any chance of the same thing happening? Thanks.

yea i am doing that all the time. After every try i fail, i made a new copy of the disc folder and start over again. Oh and thanks for telling me the mfplat.dll. I tried adding windows media player 11 with the media player integrator and i guess it failed . Guess i am deleting that for now cause i want to avoid as much as errors possible right now

Dang i dont think its working. Now i am getting another error ""The following value in the .SIF file used by Setup is corrupted or missing: Value 0 on the line in section with key mfplat.dll.... I guess i have to try again :'(

but how would i use nlite first? Dont u have to use ur DP Base to put the drivers into the windows xp folder and then i take that folder and use it with nlite to burn it into a cd right?

OHHHHHH wait..... are you trying to say that i am supposed to make a bootable CD with nlite first and then put the files using DriverPacks?????????!!!!!!!

ok sure ive got all the time to wait. I just wanna install xp somehow and ive got all the patience. Yea i think i put the QSC off cause on the DP Base Tutorial it said for Method 2 put QSC is off so thats what i did. I tried running it on a virtual pc as you recommended to test the iso which i made with nLite. I didnt burn it on a CD yet. Thanks

ok so i am assuming that if i follow ur DP base tutorial with the drivers pack its gonna work if i do it properly? Are the drivers in the driverpack all the drivers i need for my installation for xp in an sata hard drive? I am going to try doing the DriverPacks tutorial.
