Hey Guys

I've just installed a new XP Sys (SP3) on my Acer Ferrari 4005 but dont know where to put the Broadcom LAN Ethernet drivers

There is no installer or setup.exe just 3 files in the folder which are:

b57win32......21kb....Security Catalogue
b57win32......104kb...Setup Info
b57win32......124kb...System file

Anybody know where these go?

Pizza? not again .. You know that it is getting pretty late here in snowy Hamburg, and you just made me feel like having another snack

Glad to read that you did not need to spend $$$ for a new drive ... very tenacious I would say, besides being a genius ..

cheers ...

If I got a ESata card for this Ferrari, is there any way of sharing external drives with a Mac, I wonder

Need the Ferrari for video field work and then edit on a Mac in the studio.

I need some means of sharing the same ext drives with XP and OSX

I think theres a pgm called Macdrive for XP that might do the trick...mmmm

what do ya reckon Q?

A good read here for sharing files from a Mac and a Windows.

We share network files at work between mac and pc.

cheers ...
