Anyone have any experience slipstreaming drivers into an XP installation?
I downgraded to XP on a computer and I can't install the audio driver on a loaded system. I tried safe mode without network and everything like that.
I can't uninstall the wrong driver or update it or... anything I try :(
Would it be an easy thing to slipstream the driver into an XP install disk using e.g. nLite?
Re: Anyone have any experience slipstreaming drivers into an XP installation?
Depends on the driver.
Creative drivers cannot be slipstreamed using nLite.

which way did you install windows update or setup file ?
did you install with accurate driver ?
Re: Anyone have any experience slipstreaming drivers into an XP installation?
The driver I need to install is Realtek HD Audio driver, so not creative thankfully.
My biggest worry is how do I remove the driver that gets installed by default in the install. I somehow need to get Windows install to understand that it's in fact the wrong driver it's installing and instead choose the Realtek one.
Re: Anyone have any experience slipstreaming drivers into an XP installation?
Can't you just remove the faulty Windows supplied driver?
If not, why?
Re: Anyone have any experience slipstreaming drivers into an XP installation?
Can't you just roll back the driver if not the right one ? I'm with clocker on this one , is this a Windows Update ?

just install new driver don't need to remove old driver :D
Re: Anyone have any experience slipstreaming drivers into an XP installation?
I can't remove the old driver at all. Whatever I push it will either not react at all, or it will say can't remove files, which are needed for Windows startup (when pressing remove driver).
If I try to install the correct driver through .exe file, it extracts and then says installation failed.

Have you tried in safe mode ?
Re: Anyone have any experience slipstreaming drivers into an XP installation?
I tried safe mode, but issue resolved now :D
It turned out that something I did previously allowed the wrong audiodriver to get stuck. A new reinstall of XP and installing The Realtek HD Audio Driver as the very first thing did the trick.
