  1. Yes as *.reg or *.inf file but you need to know where they are: Google is your friend here.
  2. Local Policies are registry settings Others are stored into Windows\System32\GroupPolicy\Machine\Registry.pol You typically create a Registry.pol with the desired settings and copy that in subsequent installations, for instance by creating: -$OEM$\$$\System32\GroupPolicy\Machine\Registry.pol
  3. Normally it is not a problem to have a bunch of normal P&P drivers installed for different computers. -It is the same as that windows always has more drivers than you need. I would be cautious, however, with textmode drivers.
  4. Hyperthreading requires one of the multi-processor HALs. It must be enabled in the BIOS. -Normally the ACPI Multiprocessor PC is installed by default. The performance enhancements are generally not spectacular: there is still just one core. -Hyperthreading is not equivalent to dual-processor or, multi-core with Core multi-plexing. So I am not sure that up to 2x improvement can ever be realized. If have read about 1.2x at best, depending on the main application.
  5. Can you report what is under Details?
  6. hgiertler For CD installs you need to have: -CDRoot\$oem$ -CDRoot\i386 For WinNT32 installs the $oem$ is a sub-folder of i386: -InstallLocRoot\i386\$oem$ I do not know what is needed for WinNT installs. aittersu? Your setuperr.log indicates the all too familiar installation crash.
  7. magemaster: it looks like you did a WinNT32, which is different from WinNT. Please comment. aittersu: do you agree that the WinNT installation problem is completely solved by using your and magemaster's fix? I believe the $$rename.txt method is much better that tweaking TXTSETUP.sif
  8. Colors: You probably have Windows Classic Theme: -Right click in an empty display field > Properties > Appearance > Select Windows XP Style in the upper dropdown box Oleg_II's instructions are excellent but it is not normal that you get the Standard PC HAL, and upgrading the HAL after installatiom may cause trouble. -Make sure ACPI and APIC are enabled in your BIOS (if they are available as option) -Old PCs may not support ACPI and/or APIC -Choose nLite > Unattended > General > Computer type: Automatic -Check i386\WinNT.sif and remove the ComputerType entry under [unattended] -Change HALs only for special situations and if you know what they and what you are doing
  9. KB888111 is now part of SP3 RTM. Do not integrate it for SP3. If your audio does not work in vanilla WinXP SP3 there is something else wrong
  10. Strange. You normall get a question for removing RO for all sub-files and folders. No idea here but I would certainly try to fix this.
  11. 1. In Taskbar and Start Menu Properties > Start Menu select Start Menu 2. You installed you PC with a "Standard PC" Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL). Search the web for more info. Is this nLite related?
  12. Your hotfixes are wrong, goto the slipstreamer web-site and fix.
  13. I know I played this record before: -Did you remove read-only from all your files after copying from the CD? It seems DELL integrates AHCI completely; you might look for clues in DOSNET.inf and TXTSETUP.sif I believe there is also something like DELL.cab that might give you some ideas.
  14. I would not touch any of those for several reasons. At minimum there is user registry information that should be kept. Also most are hidden and/or system so why bother.
  15. Windows\Setuperr.log Windows\Setuplog.txt
  16. Probably if you see "Windows is starting up," the HDD boot worked, but your comp hangs in the Windows initialization. Please check.
  17. Probably someting else wrong. Check your log files.
  18. BartPE should be no issue; it is a very nice build, based on the WinPE 1.0 scenario. But still our familiar windows 32 bit core. You can have a look at your Setuplog.txt and Setuperr.log to detect any fatal errors. Ignore the hundreds of less important errors in setuplog.txt.
  19. Nothing about AHCI here. Is there anything, in the original CD, in CD Root\$OEM$\Textmode?
  20. Does this tell you anything? This is the nLite generated WinNT.sif. What is in the WinNT.sif (if any) on the original Dell CD?
  21. I am not sure how Dell integrates AHCI. You could have a look at I386\WinNT.sif or what is in the $OEM$ folder.
  22. And I did: -DOSNET.inf looks fine -TXTSETUP.sif looks allright and patched as I did. But I do not believe that patch makes sense for this type of installation -Setuperr.log indicates a major installation crash: if you get that many errors: format and start all over again. -Setuplog.txt is a mess as usual; I do not see where napprov etc are copied, and a lot more is not copied (calc.exe for example). It seems to go wrong (without error msg) at wmimgmt.msc (suspicious because specified in wbemoc.inf). -HOWEVER: the wbemoc.inf is weird, something with "NR's WBEM Fix AddOn for Windows XP SP3". I would get rid of that first and use the orginal that came with SP3, or the one obtained after nLite 1.4.5. On a different note: MS in its/her infinite wisdom has decided to keep the old version of I386\USETUP.exe and updated I386\System32\SMSS.exe. -According to some nitpickers these two should be the same, and it is not sure which is used by which installation type. I am still looking into that but do not believe it is major.
  23. aittersu, I never got a popup during GUI, just a crash, did you look into your Setuplog.txt? I would not touch wbemoc.inf, do you have the nlite-modified version? If you want me to look, please upload your: -DOSNET.inf, TXTSETUP.sif, Setuplog.txt, Setuperr.log, and wbemoc.inf -Give me a day to look at it, remove all personal data (probably nothing at all but you never know) Regarding: WINTT.exe: you may be one of the few, and discover new aspects of this wonderful installation process. I like the PXE setup but eventually switched to WinPE 2.0 sessions to start WinNT32.exe. I start my WinPE sessions from a usb stick.
  24. aittersu, did you remove read-only from all files after copying the CD? Just checking . What you report is remarkeably similar to what I experienced. Using SP2 is not a problem. Did you modify TXTSETUP.sif as I indicated?
