it was on the same folder for the Base. and no, for the record i did not extract them.
that's what your tutorial said. ^_^
that's why it was odd how it didn't detect the packages. figured the Base was supposed to do the extraction for me hence the gui.

thanks for the heads up Overflow. ^_^ found that out the hard way but it's cool, one learns from mistakes. and yes i have read the tutorial you posted. just got lost somewhere there. ^_^ just curious i DLed the packages on my pc and used the base tool, how come it didn't detect the packages? it had to DL again when it reached the update part of the tool.
markstrelecki, that's a neat idea and thanks for confirming it's the storage drivers that's crashing it. nice to know i'm on the right track.
so the patter is xp + sp3 + drivers. got it.
will post after my next test. ^_^

hi all,
got myself this new notebook, HP Compaq Presario CQ40-310AU. obviously i saved myself from all the grief from winMEii so i started out to install xp on it and obviously it gives me a BSOD. i didn't get one that shipped with the winMEii installed so i haven't got the HWID here. but am pleasantly assured you guys here have me covered with the drivers. am posting to document at the least the validation it works for this notebook.
currently updating the drivers and slipstream sp3 after.
will repost with updates and or issues encountered.
you guys are smart. ^_^ thanks for giving us the option of sticking with a reasonable OS. ^_^
