About the Driverpacks, are you uncompressing them, or leaving them in the original download files. I've been using BTS using the normal method designed for CD, and moving the files to the correct location. If your uncompressing all the drivers, you could be running out of hard drive space. Weather you click on one driver, more, or none, it still copies all drivers to the hard drive. So if you have 1.5g of drivers, 500-600m of files of WinXP, they get initially copied to the hd, then they get copied to other directories on reboot, you might be overloading the 4G. Leaving the files compressed using the normal BTS method, it works fine for me, without running our of hard drive space, works faster, and this way Windows automatically picks the right drivers to install. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
