Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - Creating a custom Win XP CD with nLite

Najkiie · 06-23-2009, 02:43 PM

Hey.

As the title says, i'm trying to create a custom Windows XP cd with a program called nLite. I know i have to include drivers for my computer, and i do know how to. I do however not know which drivers i need and where i can find them.

Can't i just install XP without those drivers and then download Driver Genius (or whatever it's called, it's a program that finds and downloads drivers for your computer) and install them afterwords?

I've heard that if you don't include some drivers on the disk, you wont be able to install XP because you'll get an error that says that it couldn't find any disc's on the computer... true?

Does the computer itself have any necessary drivers that i must include?
My computer:
HP Pavilion a6110.sc Desktop PC - More info here.

---

As you can see i'm really lost here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance.
