win2000 --> NT4

[makeda]

hey,

i just got an new Dell Inspiron 8000 which came loaded with win2000. i need to take 2000 off and install NT4. before attempting this i wanted to find out what drivers i will be needing. the downloads section of the dell website is "down or being updated" (??). does anyone else know of a site where i can find information/download these drivers?

more generally, can anyone reccomend any good tutorials or sites dealing with the instalation of op. systems?

thanks.

For a good driver site, check out http://www.driverguide.com
If it asks you for a password, the username is "drivers" and pass is "all"

why do you want NT4? you do realize win2000 is NT5 right?

well, technically its not my computer, its my company's computer and i have no say in it.

just in case anyone is interested, i wanted to let people know that in my quest to find drivers that will work with a Dell Inspiron 8000 and NT4, i did not have much success. I was able to find a network driver only. The holy grail of my search was a video driver that would work with and NVIDIA GeForce2 Go video card and NT4. I searched everywhere and could not find this thing.

I wanted to post this only because in my quest I saw dozens of postings for things that people were looking for with very few replies and very few follow ups. If anyone needs a network driver for an Inspiron 8000 and NT4, let me know.

I have since removed NT4 and loaded win2k server.
