How to update drivers in XP without messing up W7?
Followed Brinks instructions:
Here is what I have. Dell Studio with 4gm ram and two 500gb hard drives.
C:\ Upgraded to Win7 64bit from Vista 64bit Ultimate - works fine
D:\ Installed XP PRO (32bit) as instructed, installed .Net Framework 2.0 as instructed, and ran EasyBCD. Everything seems to work fine EXCEPT -
When booted to XP the system does not recognize the Ethernet controller.
Device Manager shows the following in Yellow.
Realtek PCI GBE Family Controller (Code 39 - driver not installed)
PCI Driver (Code 28 -drivers not installed)
SM BUS Controller (Code 28 -drivers not installed)
Vidio Controller (Code 28 -drivers not installed)
Vidio Controller (VGA Compatable) (Code 28 -drivers not installed)
How can I install / update these drivers while booted to XP PRO without messing up the Win7 system?
