  1. Hello,

    I can't get windows server 2003 to install on a silicon image 3114 (startech version). When I include the BTS driverpacks it sees the hard drive in the installer, but the second part of the setup fails (after reboot).

    If I add the newest driver via nlite, it sees the drive, installs but when I boot it gets the same BSOD (0x0000007B). Using the driver off the disc I got (from 2003) doesn't even see the disk in the install.

    I would use a floppy drive but I don't have one.

    Any ideas?

  2. I don't think he's a kid : he needs a bank account his parents won't see.

    Try http://www.whitepages.com/ to see if his coordinates are correct.

    edit : and maybe abuse@ISP, last time I did that, I was surprised to get an answer back (was because of spam and they asked me to forward it instead of just giving the adress but I had deleted it, I thought spam would have generated enough traffic for them to trust me).

    I would be very annoyed if I had my internet connection or my gmail account deleted. ;)

    You only need to be twelve to get a bank account in the U.K. from Halifax and probably a few other banks.

  3. The option for using minlogon instead of winlogon is useful but I dont think Nuhi is going to have it in nlite. Myself I dont go for the size of windows but for efficientcy. Most of the times they are the same. If you slipstreamed minlogon into instaqll CD please let me know how you did it.

    I added it after install, got it down to 75mb total now. Nothing left to do with it so I'm gonna not bother with it any more :thumbup

    You have got a point though about going for efficiency, when I do my normal images that is what I go for.

  4. I had a idea just a moment ago, why not have an option to remove all the unneeded directories that end up in the windows directory e.g. all the language directories in system32 except 1033 if your using English as the others aren't needed. Same with the ime,mui,srchasst,help etc. If it is possible of course, I've only ever removed the directories I don't need post-install rather than editing the install image.

  5. Hi RJM,

    So what about Linux ? If I understand well, it is written after UNIX code (of the sixties ?). Was not UNIX code also copyrighted and/or patented and fell in the public domain before being worked upon by Torvalds and then the other Linux devellopers ?

    Linux was wrote from scratch by Linus Torvalds, it did follow the same POSIX standards as UNIX to make it compatible with UNIX and a similar file structure but the code was completely different.

  6. Removed basically everything in nlite, then removed a few other DirectX dlls left behind and replaced winlogon for minlogon. I'll post the config when I get access to the computer I did it on. Yea, it isn't anything new but just got back from hospital so have to stay in a for a few days and got bored :thumbup

    Also, I forgot to say about disabling the page file and hibernation as that removes around 1GB from the drive.

    I was thinking about leaving in essent and the database support as they are only 500kbish each.

    Merry christmas to everyone :)

  7. Hello, so far I've managed to get my XP install image to 89MB and the actual install down to 265MB with only two services running (Plug and play and RPC). It currently takes 4 seconds to boot but I have not optimised it properly yet, except from minlogin (which does help and means oembios.bin could be deleted)

    Screenshot attached below:

    Edit: Forgot to say the PF usage just after boot is a lot lower (24MB) and as you can see it is in VMware.

  8. If you need to disable register globals just for your own domain then just add the following lines to .htaccess:

    php value register_globals Off

    If your hosting service is using a CGI based PHP you may be able to add "register globals Off" to a new file called php.ini

  9. Hello... I have searched the forum and Google about my questions but could not find anything decent, sorry if I did not look good enough :unsure:

    1. What is the best way to enable audio and hardware acceleration, with registry tweaks right? I have a .reg file with some of my tweaks inside it... but I can't get it to work with the run once thing... I'm using regedit /s \tweaks\tweaks.reg"
    2. Possible to have the Windows XP style welcome screen in 2003? I did enable the option, but I guess it is not included in 2003.
    3. Best way to integrate my drivers... I read about making my own driver pack, any better way?

    Thanks in advance :thumbup
