Japanese Vinyl and Figures V9

Anime Figures (アニメのフィギュア）
Figure collecting and the otaku come hand in hand. In fact, figure collecting has been called the otaku’s “drug of choice.” The hobby as a whole can be quite overwhelming to the new comer with so many different brands, models, and sometimes outrageous prices. It can be a lot to take and at times will scare off those interested.

Why Collect Anime Figures?
Collecting as a hobby in general is nothing new. People collect all sorts of things, be it the classics like stamps and baseball cards or the more odd choices out there. Anime figure collecting can really be seen as a supplement to a love of anime and manga, because the characters portrayed in the figures are almost always from anime and manga. This is really where the appeal comes for many. Figures are a way to take your favorite characters off of the 2D screen or page and put them right in front of you. Individual figures can be appealing because of their detail, general style or mixture of both.

[How to] Install Win XP on Vista-Only Dell 1420

orestes — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 18:24:21 +0800

If you’re like me, you’re not impressed enough by Vista to make the switch just yet. Unfortunately, my old Averatec notebook crapped out on me a few weeks ago and I was in need of a replacement. The best value out there that met my requirements was Dell’s new Inspiron 1420, which replaces their E1405 14.1″ model. Unlike the E1405, the 1420 is only available with Vista. After receiving my machine yesterday I set about wiping it clean and starting fresh with a copy of XP.

What You’ll Need
Before we begin, there are a few things we’ll need.

Download and install nLite 1.4 beta.
Download the Intel AHCI drivers for slipstreaming.
A blank CD-R/RW to burn your ISO.
A USB thumbdrive, CD-R/RW, or other storage medium to get our network drivers installed.
Patience.

My Dell’s Specs
Here are the specs on my machine so you can compare them to yours. If you’re running Intel integrated video (the X3100 I believe) or Intel wireless you can easily find drivers on their site.

Core 2 Duo T7300 (2.0GHz/4MB cache)
160GB 7200RPM HDD
2GB PC2-5300 DDR2
8400M GS 128MB
1440×900 display
Bluetooth
Integrated webcam
Dell 1390 B/G wireless

Installing XP
I inserted my XP disc, selected the optical drive as my first boot device in the BIOS, and was on my way. After XP ran through its usual setup procedures I was greeted by my first obstacle. XP could not find my hard drive. I had heard of this problem arising before. The culprit is the BIOS setting for AHCI or SATA functionality for the hard drive. ACHI is a bit of Intel technology which enables SATAII features like Native Command Queuing. While that’s all well and good, XP by itself, even with SP2, is too old to recognize what’s going on here. To fix this, we have two options:

The first and easier option is to simply set the hard drive to SATA mode in the BIOS.
The second option, which I prefer, is to slipstream Intel’s latest AHCI drivers into the XP disc. I have not tried both so I’m not sure if enabling AHCI has any performance advantages, but humor me here.
In case you missed it above, to begin will need a program called nLite

CODE

http://www.nliteos.com/download.html

, which performs the actual slipstream process for us. Not only can nLite slipstream drivers, but it can also add service packs, hotfixes, and create unattended installs. For more on those features you can check out their manual pages and other guides around the web.

Extract all the contents of your XP disc into a folder on your hard disk. The folder name is not important.
Open nLite. The welcome screen will ask you to locate the folder on your hard drive where you dumped XP. Select it, and click next.
On the next screen we will decide which options we would like to perform to customize our install. For our purposes we will only select Integrate Drivers and Create a Bootable ISO.
On the next screen we will choose which drivers to integrate. If you haven’t already, Download this package

CODE

http://www.davidreedonline.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/intel_ahci.zip

and extract it. Now click Insert, browse to folder, and open the INF file. About a dozen options will appear. Select them all and click continue.
From the Create a Bootable ISO screen you have a few options. You may burn the image directly, create an image and then burn, or simply create the image for later. You can also change the volume name, disc label, etc. None of these options are consequential to this guide so you can choose whichever is best for you. Personally, however, I find creating the image and then burning to be more stable.
Now if we boot from our newly created XP disc, viola! XP sees our drive. Follow the setup process as normal. If you’ve never installed XP before there are a wealth of guides on the internet.

Driver Installation
In about 20 minutes we are greeted with our familiar XP desktop. Have your USB thumbdrive ready or some other means of transferring files ready.

Chipset

Always a good idea to install these first.

CODE

http://ftp.us.dell.com/chipset/R153997.EXE

You may notice you have no network connectivity whatsoever. This is the next problem we should remedy.

Broadcom Integrated NIC

The driver provided by Dell’s website works just fine.

CODE

http://ftp.us.dell.com/network/R155246.EXE

Dell 1390 Wireless B/G

This is slightly more tricky. When I downloaded Dell’s driver package

CODE

http://ftp.us.dell.com/network/R140747.EXE

it simply would not detect my wireless card. To solve this, I first extracted the driver package to my hard drive by running it. Make sure you extract to an easy to find location, such as your Desktop. After this, setup runs automatically. Cancel it.

Next, browse to the Device Manager by right clicking My Computer, clicking the Hardware tab and then Device Manager. Scroll down to Unknown Devices, right click Network Controller and click Update Driver.

From here, tell Windows not to search Windows Update for your driver. In the next screen, check install from a list or specific location and click next. Select Don’t search, I will choose the driver to install, next, and finally Have Disk. Browse to the folder where you extracted the driver package. Inside you will find a folder called DRIVERS. You’ll be presented with two .INF files. Select (file name goes here) and open it. Hooray! We now have working wireless.

NVIDIA 8400M GS

NVIDIA constantly releases driver updates for its products. Unfortunately, it leaves mobile graphics support to the individual vendor. Thankfully there is the wonderful website called LaptopVideo2Go to help ease our pain. Browse to the drivers section and download version 162.18 along with the modified INF file. The version is not terribly important, but since I’ve had success with this set with my desktop’s 8800GTX I’ve chosen it for this article.

Once your download has finished, run it to extract the files. Browse to the directory where you’ve extracted and replace the nv4_disp.inf file with your modified version. Run setup.exe and everything should install as normal. After this it would be a good idea to reboot.

The Easy Stuff

These drivers should be as easy as a download and install.

Wrapping Up
That’s it! This concludes my guide to XP on the Insprion 1420. Please leave your comments and additional tips. It is probably possible to slipstream many of these drivers into your XP disc as well, so I may explore those options in a future guide.
