I think trying to use finish nails to solve this, however is a losing
propostion, because a finish nail will not hold enough. There are
some products made specifically for this. One is a system with a
screw that you drive into the carpet using a special driver
attachement that goes onto a driver drill. The screw goes in and
when tight, the upper part snaps off below the carpet. I don't
remember the product name, but if you google for floor squeak fix or
fixing squeaky floors, etc, you'll likely find it.


If you go to the Ask This Old House web site, they have a video of how to do
it. Nifty tool.
