If you are like me then I know that you are sick of hunting for all of these things to get. Well, there are 100 of them. Here is a link to all ofthe existing post SP1 Hotfixes, and thier coresponding download sites.

Enjoy.

Ya, but some of them can only be had if you contact Microsoft directly.

I just went with whatever is at the corporate site.

Here is a link to all the existing switches for WinXP Hotfixes.

**Gorganzola** · 09-03-2003, 01:09 AM

I am putting all the hotfixes in chronologically, this way, hopefully, things will be replaced in the proper order.

I think I will implement that qchain.exe though. Just to be on the safe side, that may be why somethings don't work right when installed all at once in that all-in-one package that Paragon linked to earlier, I think it was Paragon.

I noticed they switched from using / to using a - when talking about qchain.exe.

Okay, here is the winnt.sif file.

I'm still unsure of the "Partition settings" as I want to install the OS to "C:\" with out disturbing the other partitions...
(unattened of course

)

I had to update my files... heres the editted one... :eek:

FB · 09-03-2003, 08:34 AM

i am still leaving the partitioning up to me

and as far as hotfixes i am going to write down which ones are currently installed and download them

iMogal · 09-03-2003, 09:57 PM

Can someone post thier winnt.sif and hotfix files?
I would like to compair... or let me know any corrections that need to be done, if you have D/Led mine.

Thanx!

FB · 09-04-2003, 12:14 AM

You need to use qchain where the hotfix requires a reboot before other hotfixes are installed. So you could actually wind up with old files in place of newer ones if not used.

**Gorganzola** · 09-04-2003, 04:47 AM

Ok, that makes sense, but, now for the million dollar question, how do I know which ones require a reboot, without running ever damned one of them?

BTW, where abouts did you read this? The reason I ask is because in the available documentation on qchain.exe I have right now I haven't been able to find this tidbit of information. At least not on the MS KB.

The way the MS KB writes it up, the one that francopoli linked to, it sounds like you just run all the hotfixes and then run qchain.exe to square things up.

**Gorganzola** · 09-04-2003, 05:18 AM

I went through the updates I had and found the following to have potential for issues. So I put in a line to run qchain after each one. I suppose I could take it a step further and find out if they all need reboots or not. Maybe later.

For those who own a Hercules sound card and require drivers that aren't packaged as they are normally found on the Hercules website, and will not stop and insist that you disconnect the Internet connection, you can find a copy of them here:

http://ftp.hercules.com/sound/exe/Cr...ds/CSC_609.zip

Hercules tech support was kind enough to point me in the right direction.

They will cover the:

Fortissimo II
Fortissimo III
Game Theater XP 7.1
DigiFire 7.1
