Hi I would like to know how to protect my UA XP CD from (1) being copied to system & (2) cd to cd copy using cd burning softwares. is it possible.

Hi I guess it's possible. Previously I burnt a cd with (1) XP SP Home Edition & (2) XP SP Professional Edition (Both on one 650 MB CD). It is possible cos I've made Windows 2003 - 3 versions on one normal cd of 700 MB (1) Windows 2003 (Data Center), (2) Windows 2003 (Web Server) & (3) Windows 2003 (Enterprise Edition). I also made another cd with (1) Windows 98 SE & (2) Windows XP SP 2 on one normal cd. Right now I don't have the tutorials (as I am at office). If you keep in touch I'll send you the tutorials within a couple of days. Till then you can go to www.ezbsystems.com for creating like such cds. Hope it will help you. Regards, Dvij

Hi, all I'd like to know what files and windows components you have removed from your xp cd and the results. It will be helpful for others also.

Hi all, I am new to this drivers section. Just now I made uaxp cd & downloaded bashrat's sneaky driver packs (all). Now, can any one tell me how to include these with my uaxp cd clearly, please. Thanks in advance.

Hi, this is the method I always try and use. It works fine. This way I check whether my unattended cd works fine before burning a cd. First create a folder in the root directory of your D: like xp3. My file structure is D:\xp3\i386, D:\xp3\$OEM$, D:\xp3\*.* (other files like setup.exe etc.,). I just nlite this xp3 with all updates & hotfixes using nlite and for few updates/hotfixes (for KB928365, KB928366 updates for Dot Net) i use autoscript entries. You need not to make any changes to any files for winnt.sif just change the entries for selecting the partition to format and file system. (Note don't remove the Operating system options from the remove components section for this purpose). Now, once you've nlitened, just run the setup.exe, select new installation. Here, though our xp3 is unattended it will ask for serial no, name, regional setting, network settings. (Important click advanced options and select let me choose the partition where I want to install os) It will copy files and restart after restarting it goes through the usual procedure it will ask for which partition to format. You try if any doubts reply me I'll again help you. Reagards, Dvij

Hi all, so far I've created a UAXP CD with necessary softwares. I want to add some extra features like when I boot from the CD it should ask for options like (1) Check system for virus (on clicking this link my virus program on cd which is capable of scanning viruses from a bootable cd) should work. (2) Read data from NTFS volumes, so that I can make a backup of the files, in case needed. (3) Read data from Linux / Mac, so that I can make a backup of the files, in case needed. (4) Install XP OS (for fresh HDD) (5) Install programs (on clicking this my WPI application should work, of course this will be used in GUI mode only after OS installation). Is it possible, any help greatly appreciated. Dvij
