I think it was Mike Maltby (sp?) that pointed me to it. I was only toying
with concerns of XP install and not getting SATA to run in ME at the time.
It stated at the MS site that it was intended for XP users that had software
that would not run in XP. And allowed an install of say ME in a box, shell,
something like that. All of the XP drivers would be used.
Hard to find since I don't remember name, approximate size, etc. and not
exactly sure how I categorized it and thus buried it in many GB of archived
files.
And can't be sure I used default name even. I'm stumped that I did not burn
to CD unless it was during the era of my burner problems.
I did a light search on the MS link below but did not find.
