Have disk method is a way to install a driver that does not have any setup program to install itself automatically. In principle what we are doing is showing Windows where drivers are located. Driver installation scripts are written in *.inf files so a driver must have these files. We will now manually locate these scripts and install drivers.
Step 1 - Download and extract driver file
After installing *.exe driver package to your desktop (in this case 8425.exe), double click to open self extractor and press Extract button. After process is complete, you will see a new folder on your desktop (in this case 8425).
Step 2 - Download and replace inf file
Get appropriate driver inf file (Modded INF) and click on the link to download it to your desktop.
After downloading INF file, move it to the extracted driver folder.
Step 3 - Go to device manager
Right click on Computer and select Properties.
There you will see Device Manager under Hardware tab..
You can also access Device Manager via Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager.
Step 4 - Use have-disk method
Find the device you want to install or update driver and double click on it. Go to Driver tab and select Update Driver.
Select No, not this time and click Next.
Select Install from a list or specific location (Advanced) and click Next.
Select Don't search. I will choose the driver to install and click Next.
Click Next to proceed. This might take a while.
Select Have Disk....
Select Browse and open the extracted driver folder. If you see one or more *inf files in the folder - select one and click Open as it does not matter which one you selected as long as they are in the same driver folder.
You should now see name of your device if you have done the previous steps correct. Click Next to continue.
Windows will ask your approval since when INF is modified, driver will lose WHQL certificate. Select Continue anyway.
Close all windows and restart your computer.
Finish :D
Basic Information
Why I cannot install these drivers?
Which driver can I use for my graphics card?
nVidia drivers are based on a system called Unified Driver Architecture (UDA) which means all nVidia card drivers are using one driver. However for some reasons, they just remove the support for installing those drivers for some cards, and mostly laptop-based GO cards.
This means ALL nVidia based graphics cards (TNT2, GeForce and Quadro) can use ANY of the drivers after using our 'modification'.
If you try to install any of these drivers without modification , you will most likely get this error:
"nVidia setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit."
This is because of the restrictions of driver itself. To solve this issue and install the driver as it should be for your graphics card, you have to use our 'Modded INF'.
If your graphics card is one of those, you can use our Modded INF to alter installation restrictions:

What is a modded INF? What is the Performance and Quality INF?
All drivers come with an "Installation INF(ormation) file".
This tells the installer how to install the driver.
The INF has the instructions to what files to copy and where.
It will also setup settings to install with.
The INF also has a list of products that it will install for.
nVidia provides UDA (Unified Driver Architecture) where the driver should work for all their released GPUs.
So the driver itself will support ALL GPUs, but the INF the driver comes with will only support a selected set of GPU
nVidia by default don't support laptop GPUs with beta and WHQL driver updates on their server.
This is left up to the OEM to organize. I assume nVidia must charge to have an OEM driver made or be included, as they are very rear for OEM to actually update a video driver.
So an OEM driver has specific instructions for that laptop (ie model specific) and will only work with a select few laptops.
This is where we come in.
We have made up a database of all the GPUs that nVidia have made or are about to make (or were going to make but abandoned).
This database we then split up into sections, Mobile, TNT, Desktop, and Quadros.
We then added the tweaks that are needed to make each of those work.
Then as part of another project we collected the settings to enable everything that is hidden inside the driver.
You can now overclock, use VMR and many other little tweaks, that nVidia normally keeps hidden or only makes available to OEMs.
We combine the 2 sections above to enable all tweaks to all GPUs.
And what you see then is the modded INF that you download seperately.
The modded INF will install on any machine, it should work normaly most of the time.
Some machines may need additional tweaks or different settings, there are 1000's of possibilities.
So sometimes a feature may not work unless you fiddle with the driver or the INF settings.
I have in the INF many possible fixes included that may need to be enabled if you experience problems.
Now, you will need a modded INF if you have a:
[indent]Laptop and want to install any other driver other than the driver specific for your machine.
Desktop or Quadro and you want to try a OEM laptop driver.
TNT based desktop and want to try a 8x.xx+ driver.
Laptop or Desktop and you want to try a Quadro based driver.[/indent]
I hope this explains what INFs are and how they work and what is changed to make them work for everybody.
