yeah i explained that to him, but he seems to get really lost. So basically i was correct in that he needs that hardware id. Then he should look for it in the inf files, If eh goes to the HP sight for example - and downloads the drivers, those hardware id's should be in those inf files correct?

I would typically boot that as soon as I received it, go into Device Manager, and record the Hardware ID for the mass storage controller and NIC at a minimum (usually audio, display and a few other usual suspects as well). Once you have the Hardware ID, you can do a text search of the .inf driver files you already have included and see if it is already included. If you have command prompts support in your boot image (which you should), you can also use the drvload utility (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc766390(v=ws.10).aspx) to test drivers and find the one that works best. Hope that helps! -Phil _________________________________________________________________ Phil Schwan | Technical Architect, Enterprise Windows Services Project Leadership Associates | 2000 Town Center, Suite 1900, Southfield, MI 48075 Lync: 312.756.1626 Mobile: 419.262.5133 www.projectleadership.net<http://www.projectleadership.net/> [Description: Description: Description: Arrow email]Lead with Strategy.
