If you are able to have the extra build up on the floors and walls I would recommnd that you just lay in joist and a complete stud wall that does not require attachment to the existing concrete. This way you will be able to install a more complete moisture barrier over the concrete and not penetrate it with the nails/screws. I think you will find that per code that all wood touching concrete/masonry must be treated. For any nailing to concrete the 22 powered systems are the way to go and these systems can be found in the 20 to 30 dollar range. There are many flooring systems on the market that do not require nailing or glueing to the concrete floor so have a look. Good luck with your project.

I would use a hammer drill and use redheads to hold base 2x6 in place then stud the wall from there.

I recommend using a .22 cartridge setup, you will need to buy a set of earplugs. BTW, I would also advise against using drywall on your basement walls unless you are absolutely sure that you will never have a water problem. I saw one basement that the guy used drywall and had a small water problem and one wall of drywall had to be replaced, use T-G wood boards or paneling. Have fun.....

A friend of mine (a retired Union Carpenter) told me he had to take a short course and be certified before he could legally use a Hilti gun. He wasn't sure but thought you had to have this certificate in order to purchase the "ammo" for it. This is in NY state; anybody know more about this?

There are alot of ways to fasten wood to concrete. Alot of what you use dependes on the situation you have to deal with. If you are going to apply hard wood flooring to a concrete floor I would advise against trying it. The Pergo type stuff needs to float so as to expand and contract. If you really want to put the wood to the crete , here is a link. I would rent as the price is very high.
