I want to use nLite to integrate my Ethernet drivers, SMBus drivers, and IDE drivers from the nForce 4 platform drivers for Windows XP (link).

The problem is that there are two inf files in the ethernet directory: nvnetbus.inf and nvenetfd.inf. Which do I integrate? What's the difference?

Likewise, under the SMBus directory, there is nf4sys.inf and nvsmbus.inf. Again, what's the difference?

Under the WinXP IDE folder, there are many inf files:

legacy\nvatabus.inf
legacy\nvraid.inf
sata_ide\nvata.inf
sataraid\nvraid.inf

My hard drive uses an IDE ribbon on the primary interface as a master. My DVD burner uses an IDE ribbon on the secondary interface as a master. Which INF file(s) should I integrate for this setup?

I'm so confused :}

If you open each INF in notepad, then scroll to the [strings] section at the end looking for device names in quotation marks, you'll have a pretty good idea which driver will be installed with that INF provided you have a matching Hardware ID.

You can find your Hardware IDs with Bâshrat's save_hwids.exe.
