drivers unsigned

[Fastrohit]

Can anyone explain me how to turn off signed drivers? I heard it was possible through the command line but have no idea how to do it. Please help me, thank you very much.

What operating system, if vista then follow the steps below.

To prevent vista from requiring signed drivers:

1. customize the start menu and enable the run command, in the run command box, type cmd

2. enter the following in the command window that appears, to disable driver signature checks:
bcdedit –set nointegritychecks ON

3. reboot the computer

{Edit} if the "bcdedit –set nointegritychecks ON" does not work, try "bcdedit /set nointegritychecks ON"

Here’s the trick to suppress the unsigned uncertified driver warning and force installation to continue automatically in XP.

• Right click on My Computer then select Properties to open System Properties.
• In “System Properties” dialog box, select the Hardware tab.
• Click on Driver Signing button.
• In the “Driver Signing Options” dialog box, under “What actions you want Windows to take?” section, three levels of actions on digital signature verification is provided, with default as Warn - Prompt me each time to choose an action. Default will generate the Hardware Installation or Software Installation dialog box as shown earlier whenever an unsigned driver is detected.
• To suppress and skip the warning dialog and install unsigned driver automatically, select the radio button for Ignore - Install the software anyway and don’t ask for my approval.

You can also select Block - Never install unsigned driver software to NOT INSTALL any uncertified driver - no question asked, and no way to change during installation - so it’s not recommended.

• In “Administrator option” section, tick the check box for Make this action the system default.
• Click on OK button twice to exit.

I found out that you can bypass the driver check if you sign the certificates yourself and change a single BCDEDIT setting. Here's the package:

read the .nfo file inside for instructions on how to sign drivers. No need to press F8 on boot any longer. All of my self-signed drivers are accepted by Vista, I am booting in normal mode
