Do you have a download to make a BCD? I have Nero Ultra 6 and it doesn't make BCDs.
What should i use to make them?
I read the article and there are no links to software and 1 to a site that doesn't exist.

I tried Nero Star smart and it didn't but Nero Burning ROM does but I couldn't get it to work.
It wanted me to copy from a Floppy to CD and either my floppy drive stinks or the discs that I have are so old it wont work and also has caching errors. Will I be able to read a CD in the F6 area to load a driver while installing XP? Has anyone tried this? It is a Gateway Laptop with no floppy drive. I may have to see if the Best Buy Geek Squad has a floppy drive I can borrow.

I thought I'd put my two cents worth in here. Two questions:
1. How important is having VISTA on the Laptop? I ask because I'm concerned that your Vista is from a recovery disk instead of a standard Windows Vista DVD. That might be part of the problems you are experiencing. 2. Do you have the first boot drive in the BIOS setup as the DVD drive?

Well I did try to remove Vista and just put XP on it.
I could never get XP to recognize the HDD no matter what I did to format the HDD. I tried FAT32, NTFS and unallocated. It just doesn't see the HDD. Gateway has separate drivers for the SATA Mass storage driver and I think the issue is that I need the XP drivers for the SATA Mass Storage Driver changed so XP can see the HDD but this laptop doesn't have a floppy. Can I used a USB stick to emulate a Floppy? I load XP and press F6 to load 3rd party raid driver and all it looks for is a floppy. I couldn't get a CD to emulate a floppy.
