![]() At least I know it's not an essential device anyway. I suppose it could be the webcam too seeing as Ricoh is a camera company. Ltd." I know the Card Reader is made by Ricoh so I think that probably solves that. I ran a program called Unknown Device Identifier (catchy eh?) and in this program under each of the three Base System Device entries, it says "Chip: Ricoh Co. I think the three Base System Devices are related to the Card Reader after all. I don't mind if anything breaks at this point so I'm just trying each driver as I get it. Yeah I would normally install things in the order you suggested but because i'm in somewhat unknown territory here, I kind of planned this install as a testing ground for all the different drivers. Its worth a look to see if any are a close match to yours. If you look over there business end laptops they are still supporting even the brand new ones with xp. I will give you another tip as well that hp keep in a nice dark place. I have done a two hp's myself now and you do run in to problems with that sound but the best way to match up the driver is look over the old models and try to match your chipset+cpu+sound It won't really make the system unstable you will just go to use something one day and think oh thats what it was lol Then move on to sound, gfx, cardreaders, bluetooth, wifi, hotkeys e.t.cĪ system base could be anything built on the motherboard, even a wifi if windows xp does not fully understand, it can be classed as unknown system base device. Then fully update windows using windows update. Update your direct x as soon as possible. I'm just worried that leaving these unknown devices driverless will cause instability.ĭavey6 Wrote:I found the best trick is to install xp with sp2 I'd like to have the Conexant card available too but it's not necessarily crucial. I have an external soundcard which I'm sure will install fine. I need the XP installation for audio work. Is a Card Reader a Base System Device though? Doesn't really sound like it! I may have everything I need installed anyway. ![]() It's too vague! I know the Card Reader hasn't had any drivers installed on XP yet so it could be that. I've been looking at the Vista Device Manager too but I don't really know what type of device a "Base System Device" is. Installing the Intel INF file last did fix the Sm Bus Controller but nothing else. I'm probably gonna install XP and run through everything again anyway cos I tried a few different Conexant Audio drivers which were really buggy. I think I installed DirectX 9.0c first too. I integrated Service Pack 2 on the install cd too so that's installed. They didn't say if they managed to install all of the drivers or not though. Thanks again for all your help!!!Ĭheers for that! I did read some threads on other forums where some people had the same problems yeah. I'd be glad to post detailed instructions for others. Perhaps some of those drivers would be useful to me? If not, perhaps you could point me in the right direction? If I/we get everything working. (Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family) Maybe Ethernet is the Marvell and Network is the Intel?) Not sure about Ethernet/Network controller really. (Marvell Yukon 88E8039 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller or perhaps Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection. (HDAUDIO Soft Data Fax Modem with SmartCP) ![]() Modem Device on High Definition Audio Bus I've written what each is or what I think each is in brackets.Īudio Device on High Definition Audio Bus the following are missing drivers according to XP's Device Manager. I just have to find some other drivers for XP. I used Vista Boot Pro to restore Vista's bootloader and add XP to the OS list. XP installed with no problems using this cd. It was easy to integrate the right driver (Intel 82801 HEM/HBM SATA AHCI Controller) on a custom install cd with nLite. I didn't know the tool actually contained the drivers initially - I thought it would ask me to point it at them and then create the floppy. I made the floppy with the Intel tool and copied them back to the hard drive as I suggested above. Thanks very much! I really appreciate your help! I had already done the same thing myself though. Just don't rush it read and do at the same time if its possible, that way you can double check on what your doing. Now if you want to do a dual boot but keep vista please follow this guide which i have followed myself once and it does work , You will find it on the bottom of this post. I just made the floppy on my desktop, copied all files from that floppy and put them in to one folder and zipped it.
