    I finally got XP, Vista and PCLinuxOS triple booting successfully, but I'm having some issues with a couple of unrecognized hardware devices in XP. In the device manager there is a
    "Base system device" and an "ethernet controller" with no drivers found. I have installed all the drivers included in the driver pack listed on the xp installation guide. What are these two things and how can I fix this? Also, when installing the bluetooth drivers it says "Please plug in USB bluetooth device" which doesn't make sense? If I hit okay it just kicks me back to the same screen. Hitting cancel gives you a sucessful install message but I'm not so sure?

    Thanks,
    Nathan

    Ethernet controller is the LAN drivers. You need to use the "Have Disk" method in order to install them.

    "Base system device" is your smartcard reader I believe. It can be installed by popping in your Vista drivers dvd and having XP find the driver automatically from DVD drive.

    Alright thanks. If anyone wants a triple boot how-to let me know. Also, I learned how to slipstream the SATA drivers into the install cd with nLite so I'd be willing to do a tutorial for that too. Just say the word ;)
