- Change your SATA settings in the BIOS to "disable".
Chipsets:
- Video: Intel 945GM
- Net: Intel Pro/100VE
- wifi: Broadcom 802.11 B/G
- audio: Conexant High Definition audio
Many of these drivers will work.
Here is another video driver
In case you have an nVidia card - drivers
more drivers
Here is a list of how to - although.. you don't need to create a special CD. Just change a BIOS setting.
Any AV company will tell you that it is needed to have an AV for OSX/Linux. They are in sales.
However, technically and the reality of the situation it is pointless with one given exclusion.
#1
There are no malware for OSX/Linux in the wild. There has been a worm made for OSX within last year, however
this was done on purpose in a lab to see if it could be done. It was done. However to get infected it takes 6 full steps
to force an infection on OSX.
-First, you have to download the worm manually.
-Second, you have to double-click the DMG installer
-Third, you have to agree to install
-forth, you have to give it your root password
-fifth, you have to agree again (via OSX)
-sixth, OSX warns you and you have to say "yes" to replace important OSX files
That is a lot of work to become infected. Thus is why there is no "spread".
#2
The other point people like to make is "Mac has too small of market".
Well, this has been said for 10 years now. Now, OSX is 8% WORLDWIDE.
Thats millions of computers to "attack". Just think of that one hacker that notices "hey, there are millions of machines that un-touched and they don't have anti-virus - wow". It still has not been done (see point #1).
#3
Last year a group offered $10,000 to anybody to make a trojan for OSX that could be spread - this was sanctioned by large AV companies for a true test. Nobody has stepped up to date to claim the $10K.
The main reason this has not been done, is because it cannot be done. Unless (see #1).
This can be explained due to darwin BSD code and the way it authenticates user activity and protects itself.
The ONLY reason to have an AV product on LINUX or OSX is if you had a linux file server that monitors windows shared files. Not to protect Linux itself, but to protect other windows machines on the network. At this point, there is wonderful opensource AV clients for this that are better than any "Paid" AV products out there.
I hope this clears up some things and anybody touting "no viruses - yet", just don't understand technology. This is not an argument about what OS is better than the other - they all have there places.

Searching as each geek does when clients come to you in a crying state about the inferior OS that was pushed upon them, only to come up with "yahoo groups" and getting the general n00b-on-n00b help that comes of it.. you come to no answer. Since I do this often (upgrade to XP from Vista) for clients, I really should start logging how to do it. Because.. there is an epidemic of Vista spreading. Also, companies like HP/Compaq or annoying the masses without putting XP drivers up for new models. That's ok, that's why I get payed. Thanks~
Drivers needed
-Realtek ALC888 (sound)
-Intel GMA 950 (video)
-Realtek RTL8101E 10/100 (nic)
-XP updates finds the modem drivers (if that even matters..)
Thats right!
At work we are having a bit of a contest.. Yeah I know. But hey, worst case scenario is that my secretary will call you and ask you about ClearWire. But just by filling in this form and submitting it to me, you get put into the drawing.
;)
Help a geek out. Hey, it's free right? My secretary does have a sexy voice...hmm.. :-)
Thanks~

Help out a friend. Great story by a friend, turned into a film.
We here at Born Mad Films are gearing up to shoot our newest short
film, "November Snow" (working title).
"November Snow" is a simplistically beautiful tale about a young boy
who's day of shooting cans in a snowy field teaches him a lesson about
morality, a lesson about himself. The script was adapted by Timothy
David Orme, from a flash fiction story titled "Snows of Saint Mary," written by Jeremiah Leedy.
We're pleased to have Connor Williams (who at 10 years old has already
participated in 10 short film and one feature) play the lead part.
Timothy David Orme will direct the film, and Levi Bettwieser will work
as cinematographer.
Having financed the past five films on our own, we are at a point
where we simply cannot pay for everything ourselves any longer. This
is where you can help! We are trying to raise $2,500 so that we can
shoot this short on 16mm film.
All we're asking is that you give what you can. And if you can't give
anything, please help us by passing on the information.
To show our appreciation for your support, everyone who donates $250
or more will be credited under "This film was made possible with the
kind support of…" You will also receive a DVD of the film for your
home collection.
If you donate $1000 or more, you will be credited as an 'Associate
Producer' of the film.
Scott Bourne is a crazy and sexy guy!

My sister was challenged by her friend to create a scrapbook layout based on 100 things that she loves. Her page inspired me to create my own. The list was easier than I thought and here is the result. If you are a scrapbooker grab a piece of paper and start your own list. Even if you don't scrapbook, the list is fun...and it might inspire you to start.

Back in high school I took some flower arranging classes and recently I decided to take the couple more classes I need to get a certificate. The class I'm in now is high design, I've never done an arrangement with only one or two flowers before but I'm happy with how they have turned out. It might be my new favorite style. My teacher told me he would hire me if he had a shop...I'm hoping that someone with a shop will agree with him. It would be a fun part-time job.
